Strategic Geography

Strategic Geography refers to the study of how geographical features—such as mountains, rivers, and borders—affect political power, international relations, and military strategy. It examines how the location of countries and resources influences decisions made by governments and military leaders. For instance, a country with natural barriers may be easier to defend but harder to invade. Additionally, essential trade routes or resource-rich areas can create conflicts or alliances. Understanding strategic geography helps explain why certain regions are significant in global politics and how nations behave in relation to one another based on their physical surroundings.
