Chokepoints: From Thermopylae to the Moon
GIS Reports has published a piece tracing how strategic chokepoints have shaped conflict and power, drawing a line from the ancient battle of Thermopylae to competition in space and on the Moon. The article examines control of narrow passages — maritime straits, land corridors and now orbits and lunar routes — as a constant of geopolitics.
Why now: Renewed great-power rivalry over strategic corridors, including space and lunar access, has put chokepoint geopolitics back on the agenda.
