Chokepoints: From Thermopylae to the Moon
GIS Reports has published an analysis tracing the strategic role of chokepoints, from the ancient battle of Thermopylae to potential contested routes in space. The piece argues that narrow passages, whether on land, at sea or in orbit, have always shaped conflict and control, and that emerging space activity is reviving this old strategic logic in a new arena.
Why now: Rising geopolitical competition over orbital routes and space infrastructure is prompting comparisons with historical chokepoint strategy.
