Most students cannot identify significant geographic locations relevant to their own history yet they are expected to know global sites.
Using maps to teach history is one of the best ways to enable students to fully understand concepts related to major historical events. Because geography has been downgraded in elementary and high school curricula, students in college classes can seldom identify even the most basic geographic sites.

All of this can be demonstrated from maps. Having students look at period maps in the light of historical events will enable them to see how and why policies, wars, and long term strategies were employed to preserve imperial interests. Maps detailing Italian and German unification similarly help to tell the story of the formation of modern states and, as in the case of Germany, empires. Whatever history lesson is the focus of study, the use of maps will clarify the crucial issues.
