  • How an atlas and a very old map can help us make sense of the ancient Greeks

      Primary History article
    The ancient Greeks were a maritime people – they travelled and traded vast distances by sea, but rarely left sight of land. They were also a very divided nation.

    Two-and-a-half million men from undivided India served the British during the Second World War.  Their experiences are little remembered today, neither in the West where a Euro/US-centric memory of the war dominates, nor in South Asia, which privileges nationalist histories of independence from the British Empire. What was it like...
