The Mother of All Wars

I have a great interest in history, especially that of battles, fighters, wars, and religion. It's quite remarkable how all of these topics are strongly correlated. Think of it this way: If you have a jealous God, then be prepared to fight! Then follow the horrible wars and awesome battles. I've found this awesome site, where broad histories are visualized in chronological form.

From the site:


How has the geography of religion evolved over the centuries, and where has it sparked wars? Our map gives us a brief history of the world's most well-known religions: Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Judaism. Selected periods of inter-religious bloodshed are also highlighted. Want to see 5,000 years of religion in 90 seconds? Ready, Set, Go!
