Tomas, I've been subscriber since Uncharted Territories Issue #1. This piece is exceptionally well written! A little long, but elegantly covers 2 millenia of geographical influence, accidents, with a line of optimism in the future. I absolutely love that direct flight from Madrid to Medellin CO, totally beats flying through the USA, and exemplifies exactly Spain's place in the world. What a great TLDR of the history of Spain!

Have you ever thought about writing a geographic influenced history book? A global narrative of this lens in textbook form? I'd totally homeschool my future children with that. :)

Thank you Chris! I both really appreciate the support and the feedback! You’re right it is long, but as you can imagine, hard to cut. I flew through 400 years of history after the 1500s!

I am indeed starting to think how to apply this for education. My guess is it benefits more from audiovisual though?

Visuals (maps, graphics, charts) definitely help a lot understanding history and the changes. Awesome job, Tomás!
