géographie historique

Géographie historique is the study of how geographic features, landscapes, and spatial relationships have changed over time. It combines history and geography to understand how human activities, cultures, and events have shaped and been influenced by the physical environment. This field examines patterns such as settlement development, land use, and environmental transformations across different periods, providing insights into how historical processes are reflected in the geography of a region. It helps us see the connection between history and the Earth's surface, revealing the dynamic relationship between humans and their environment throughout history.
