A battleground for the top ten military strategists in the world.

: Sun Tzu said: There are three ways to fight: scattered land, light land, contending land, crossing land, steep land, heavy land, wide land and enclosing land. Even if I die, I will benefit. Peter also made a profit. Fight for land, scatter the land without fighting, never stop lightly, never attack for land, and never stop handing over land. Sun Tzu's contention for land is what people now call a strategic place! The strategic position depends on the regional situation and will change with the change of the situation. Just like Jingzhou, a battleground for military strategists during the Three Kingdoms period, Jingzhou lost its title of strategic location after the reunification of China by Jin, and the imperial court concentrated its heavy forces on the northern border. The same is true of Xiangyang, the condor hero. If in the Northern Song Dynasty, Yanmenguan was a strategic place, not Jingzhou. In today's world, the Middle East is a strategic place for all powerful countries, mainly because of its oil resources and the Suez Canal. There are also the Straits of Malacca and the Panama Canal, which are also strategic locations. Today, school easy search will take stock of the world's top ten land strategic locations: initialization 1. Mackinder, a famous British geographer and eastern European geopolitical scientist, once said: whoever controls eastern Europe will control the heart; Whoever controls the heart zone will control the world island; Whoever controls the world island will control the world! Mackinder put forward the theory of land ownership, arguing that with the development of land transportation, the heart of Eurasia has become the most important strategic region. Anyone who studies world geography knows that Europe is located in the west of Asia and is a part of the Eurasian continent. It borders the Arctic Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea on the north, west and south, and Asia on the east and southeast, just like a big peninsula protruding westward from the Eurasian continent. Those brave Huns and Mongols attacked the European Peninsula from east to west from the heart of Eurasia and conquered the world, while Swedish kings Carl XII, Napoleon and Hitler, on the other hand, attacked from west to east because they did not occupy the strategic commanding heights of the heart of the world. Generally speaking, Mackinder's theory was one of the reasons that led to World War I and World War II. Some people think that Mackinder's theory is the theoretical basis of Nazi Germany's eastward expansion. Similarly, Mackinder's theory is also the theoretical basis for the Bush administration to launch the Afghan and Iraqi wars! 2. There is a long-standing description in the geopolitics of Central Asia. To control the world, we must first control Central Asia. The five Central Asian countries are Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan and Tajikistan. It borders Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in the east, Iran and Afghanistan in the south, Russian Federation in the north and Russian Federation and Azerbaijan in the west across the Caspian Sea. As the center of the continent with the largest population, the largest land area and the richest resources in the world, Central Asia plays the role of a crossroads. After the world is widely connected by the sea, the status of Central Asia is rising day by day. As the center of resource competition, Asia has become the focus of competition among major powers. The ambitious British Empire and Russia tried to control Central Asia, then the Soviet Union and then the United States. All countries that achieved world-class hegemony extended their hands to Central Asia. 3. Mackinder, a famous British geopolitical scientist on the Korean Peninsula, once said: Whoever rules Northeast Asia will master the western Pacific and the destiny of Asia. The strategic springboard and gateway to rule Northeast Asia is the Korean Peninsula! The Korean peninsula is very important for any country that wants to control East Asia, which is destined to play a very important role in the historical stage of East Asia and even the whole world. The Korean Peninsula is located in the east of Asia, facing Russia in the northeast, China in the northwest and north, and Japan in the southeast across the Korean Strait. The west, south and east are respectively surrounded by the Yellow Sea, the Korean Strait and the Sea of Japan.

On July 25th, 1927, former Japanese Prime Minister Yoshiichi Tanaka presented a secret memorial to Hirohito, advocating that if you want to conquer zhina, you must first conquer Manchuria and Mongolia. If you want to conquer the world, you must conquer zhina first, but you only want to conquer Manchuria and Mongolia. We must conquer the Korean peninsula first! In 591, Toyotomi Hideyoshi sent 2, troops to invade Korea, and once occupied Pyongyang. I want to take the Korean Peninsula as a strategic springboard to conquer Northeast Asia and China! From the Meiji Restoration, in August 191, Japan forced the South Korean government to sign the Nine Sections of Sun Tzu's Art of War, which formally annexed the Korean Peninsula, laying the groundwork for launching the September 18th Incident to invade the three northeastern provinces of China! On June 25th, 195, the Korean War broke out. The United States intervened and sent troops to Incheon, and the Korean People's Army was forced to retreat after being cut off by the US and South Korean troops. The war hit the Yalu River, which seriously threatened the peace in the northeast frontier and forced New China, which had just been established for more than a year, to intervene in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. The outbreak of this series of wars on the Korean peninsula proves the importance of the strategic position of the Korean peninsula! Afghanistan Afghanistan Afghanistan is a landlocked country in south-central Asia, located in the center of Asia. Afghanistan is located in the center of Eurasia. It is not only a hub connecting Eurasia and the Middle East, but also a necessary place for big countries to go east and west and south and north. It borders Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan in the north, China in the northeast, Pakistan in the east and southeast, and Iran in the west. Its strategic position is very dangerous! 5. Constantinople Constantinople is located at the eastern end of the Balkan Peninsula, near the Bosporus Strait, and is the gateway to the Black Sea. When Europe and Asia are at the crossroads, its strategic position is very important. The city is located on a steep headland at the southern end of the Bosporus Strait, extending from the European side of the Strait to the opposite Asian coast, as if to block the torrent flowing from the Black Sea into Marmarahi. Therefore, Constantinople has Marmarahy in the south and Bosphorus Bay in the north, thus forming an important port, the so-called Golden Horn Bay. It is true that other cities also have good ports and important geographical locations, but the striking feature of Constantinople is that there is a narrow navigable strait on both sides. Therefore, the city is protected by two sea ports, which can prohibit enemy ships from the Aegean Sea or the Black Sea from passing through. Therefore, during the ten centuries of Byzantine rule, although the city was a besieged fortress for most of the time, it was still preserved. Since the foundation of Constantinople, its important military and economic value has been coveted by many nationalities. For example, the Persians, who have been competing with the empire, attacked the city several times, but were defeated by the thick walls and the powerful Byzantine navy; Later, the rising Arabs of Arabian Peninsula attacked the Byzantine Empire and besieged it with 2 warships. The Arabian fleet was destroyed by the Byzantine navy with Greek artillery fire, and five of the 2 warships fled back. In the siege of Kiev, the navy was burned by Greek artillery and suffered a fiasco. Constantinople was occupied and looted in the fourth Crusade in 124 and became the capital of the Latin Empire. In 1261, the Nicaean imperial army led by Michael VIII Parralo Gus was recovered and became the capital of the East Roman Empire after reconstruction. With the decline of Byzantine Empire, Constantinople was shelled and occupied by conqueror Muhammad Ⅱ on May 29th, 1453, and began to be ruled by Ottoman Empire and became its capital. After the establishment of the Republic of Turkey, the capital moved to Ankara in 1923. In 193, the city was officially renamed Istanbul. Vienna is the capital of Austria and one of the nine federal states of Austria. It is the largest city and political center in Austria, located on the Danube. Vienna can become one of the most important and largest cities in Central Europe because of its superior geographical location. Vienna is located between the northern foot of the Alps and the northwest of the Vienna Basin. Vienna developed from the south of the Danube and now extends to both sides of the Danube. It is the intersection of the East-West Danube route and the North-South Amber Road.

in p>1929, the Ottoman empire besieged Vienna for the first time. Relying on the city walls left over from the Middle Ages, the Austrians struggled to resist the Turkish attack, and the Turks were forced to withdraw their troops in the case of epidemic and early arrival of winter. The Turkish siege exposed the weakness of Vienna's defense, so from 1548, Vienna decided to transform into a fortress consisting of 11 fortresses and 1 trench. This decision was later proved to be wise. In 1683, the Turks besieged Vienna for the second time, and the rebuilt fortress defended Vienna for two months, until Polish King Jan sobieski sent troops to help, and the siege of Vienna was lifted for the second time, which also led to the decline of the Ottoman Empire. 7. Volgograd was called tsaritsyn before 1925. Stalingrad, 1925-1961. A famous city and an important river port in Russia. The capital of Volgograd. On the lower reaches of the Volga River. Population 97. Ten thousand. Built in 1589. It has been a military fortress since the 18th century. Transportation hub and trade center. After the completion of the Volgadon Canal, it has become a land and water transportation hub in southeastern Russia and Europe. In 1918, 1919, 1942 and 1943, the famous battles of Charizin and Stalingrad all started here. Volgograd is also an important transportation center, connecting the western and eastern Caucasus mountains in central Russia. The city is connected with the railways of major cities, with air lines and convenient transportation, especially to the Caspian Sea, Urals, Sochi and other tourist attractions, which are cheap and convenient. Volgograd always benefits from its unique geographical location. It is a land and water transportation hub connecting Europe and Asia and is destined to play an important role. This city has really played an important role in the history of Russia, whether it is the Principality of Moscow, the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union and the Russian Federation. The city was originally chosen in the steppe of Siberia and named tsaritsyn. It was built on an island where the tsaritsyn River flows into the Volga River. It was designed as a fortress to protect Russia's southeast border and the great Volga trip from nomadic people. During the Soviet Revolutionary War, Stalin led the famous Charizin campaign here and defeated the threatening Cossack White Army, which was of great significance to consolidating the achievements of the October Revolution and defending the newly established Soviet regime. In 1925, it was renamed Stalingrad in memory of Stalin. In July 1942, German fascists used more than 1.5 million troops in an attempt to capture Stalingrad, cut off the Volga River, control the interesting single-cable area, and then attack Moscow northward. Stalingrad soldiers and civilians fought bloody battles for more than 2 days and nights, completely annihilating the Germans, and finally forcing the German fascists to stop their strategic attacks and start to collapse. The victory of Stalingrad on February 2, 1943 became the turning point of World War II, when the defeat of fascism was already obvious. The victory of the battle of Stalingrad fundamentally reversed the situation of World War II and laid the foundation for the victory of the Soviet Patriotic War and even the whole World War II. Malta, malta island, also known as Martis, is a small country in the Mediterranean. With a population of 38, and an area of 316 square kilometers, Malta is mainly composed of five islands: malta island, Komino and Gossu. It is 9 kilometers from Sicily, Italy, and 3 kilometers from the African continent. This is a sea bridge connecting two continents. Malta is also called the heart of the Mediterranean because it is surrounded by maritime traffic fortresses in Europe, Asia and Africa. At the beginning of the 19th century, British colonists established land, sea and air bases in Malta as a midway island in the East. During World War II, it was precisely because the British army firmly controlled Malta that it cut off the logistics line of the German-Italian Army in North Africa, which laid the foundation for Alaman's great victory and the Allied victory in North Africa.

9. Balkan Peninsula The Balkan Peninsula occupies a very important geographical position. It borders the Adriatic Sea and Aegean Sea in the west, the Black Sea in the east, Asia across the Turkish Strait, and the Danube and its tributary sava river in the north. Its border with the European continent is very broad, with no mountain barrier and convenient transportation. The peninsula covers a total area of 5, square kilometers, including Albania, Greece, Bulgaria and Macedonia, most of Yugoslavia and a small part of Romania and Turkey. In Turkish, Balkan means mountainous. 1. The Persian Gulf and its surrounding land are the world's largest oil treasure house, accounting for 53% to 58% of the world's oil reserves. Oil production accounts for about one-third of the world's total oil production. Oil exports account for 6% of the world's total oil exports, which are mainly supplied to the economically developed United States, Japan and some countries in Western Europe. The oil produced is transported to all parts of the world through the Strait of Hormuz. Known as the treasure house of oil. There are many islands in the bay, mostly coral islands. The seabed and coast are one of the regions with the largest oil reserves in the world. Fishery resources are also very rich, rich in a variety of fish, pearls and mother-of-pearl collections are world-famous. The important ports along the Gulf coast are: Abadan, Kharg Island, Bushehr, Basra, Fao, Kuwait Port, Abu Dhabi and Dubai. The Gulf War in 1991 and the Iraq War in 23 both broke out in Iraq and Kuwait in the northwest of the Persian Gulf. They are fierce wars caused by competing for oil resources in the Persian Gulf. It can be seen that the strategic position of the Persian Gulf is very important!
