History as a systems map

If you think in fronts, supply and tempo, this is history drawn your way: every atlas is a situation map where fronts ink themselves across the terrain, campaign arrows march, contested zones breathe, and a tide gauge tracks territorial control as you scrub the timeline. Flicker-compare any two dates and watch exactly what changed.

The discussion questions are the good kind of counterfactual — argued from the map, not asserted:

Britain and France could probably have stopped Hitler cheaply…Why would two sworn ideological enemies — fascism and…France had more tanks and artillery, and comparable manpower.…Why did the shift from airfields to London help Britain…Was the Balkan campaign a fatal distraction from Barbarossa,…Why did predictions of a swift Soviet collapse prove wrong?
