The Cartography blog discuss the nobelprize.org site mapping world conflicts. Meanwhile, the GeoCarta blog points to news.telegraph article about World War Three seen through Soviet eyes - including a 1979 map revealing the Soviet bloc's vision of a seven-day atomic holocaust between Nato and Warsaw Pact forces. From the cartography blog: "Tucked away in the Peace section of the site is a Shockwave map depicting armed conflicts in the 20th century. This includes inter-state, civil and colonial wars. A moveable timeline at the bottom of the map is broken up by decade, allowing the user to see the progression of (or regression into) war throughout the century."
