Chokepoints: From Thermopylae to the Moon
GIS Reports has published a geopolitical analysis tracing how strategic chokepoints have shaped conflict and power from the ancient Battle of Thermopylae to present-day competition in space. The piece examines control of narrow passages on Earth and their parallels in orbital routes and lunar access, arguing that dominance over such passages remains central to state power.
Why now: Rising geopolitical tensions over maritime and space routes are renewing interest in historical lessons about controlling strategic chokepoints.
