| CENTENNIA is a map-based quide to the history of Europe and the Middle East from the year 1000AD to the present. Centennia is a historical atlas unlike any traditional print atlas. Centennia's maps evolve from one date to the next displaying border changes on-screen in a 'map movie' mode. Centennia includes over 9,000 border changes. Changes are displayed as frequently as ten times per year in recent centuries. Enter Centennia covers the history of major empires such as the medieval Byzantine Empire and the Holy Roman Empire ("Neither Holy, nor Roman", the Holy Roman Empire is the name historians came to use for the loosely organized German 'empire' which existed for about a thousand years up until the year 1806). Centennia offers complete detailed coverage of the history of the Turkish Ottoman Empire from its humble beginnings as a small emirate in 14th century Anatolia until its rapid demise as one of the principals on the losing side of the First World War. The Crusades, the history of the Soviet Union, the recent Bosnian war, the Unification of Italy, and hundreds of other regions and eras are covered in Centennia. Centennia has been required course material for over five years at the US Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. Centennia is also required reading at the University of California at Berkeley, the US National War College in Washington, DC, the University of Virginia, and many other colleges and universities. Not just for academics, history enthusiasts and genealogists enjoy exploring history with Centennia. German genealogy especially benefits from the detailed coverage of German state borders during the later middle ages and the early modern era. | |
