Home›The Age of Extremes›LocationBrowse ByLocationThis dimension names the place where a historical event actually occurred. Wikipedia notes that some branches of history "concentrate on particular geographic regions, such as the history of Africa," reflecting how tightly a specific event is tied to its own location. Browsing this way collects every event that took place in the same location.FactsLocationSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonStart YearWell-attested1914 CE 1LocationFilter Results18 entriesEvent TypeAllEconomic Event (2)Military Conflict (17)Natural Disaster (2)Political Event (1)Group TreeAllEvents of the Depression and the Road to War, 1930 to 1945 (8)Events of the First World War and Its Aftermath, 1914 to 1929 (14)EraAllThe Contemporary Period (3)The Late Modern Period (16)Event Era (Year)All1914 (6)1915 (2)1916 (4)1917 (2)1918 (1)1919 (4)1921 (2)1923 (2)1929 (2)1930 (1)1932 (1)1936 (1)1937 (2)1939 (3)1943 (2)1944 (1)1945 (2)ParticipantsAllAdolf Hitler (3)Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Este (1)Charles de Gaulle (5)David Lloyd George (1)Douglas Haig (4)Erich von Falkenhayn (4)Franklin D.
