A history of conflicts
Conflict History is a good example of what can be accomplished by mixing Google Maps with a timeline. Conflict History provides a timeline at the bottom of a Google Map. Select a range of dates on the timeline and placemarks representing conflicts appear on the map. For example, if you select the years 1907-1921, every conflict that happened around the world in those years appears on the map. For major conflicts such as World War I, individual campaigns and battles appear on the map.
