Eastern Mediterranean 72 years ago today: First Arab–Israeli War (11 June 1948) https://buff.ly/2VA5Cqh When Israel declared independence in 1948, the surrounding Arab states immediately declared war and invaded it in an attempt to exterminate the newborn Jewish state. Despite attacks from all four land borders, the Israelis held out. In June both sides accepted a United Nations imposed truce. #1940s #1948 #20thcentury #cartography #easternmediterranean #egypt #historian #historias #histories #history #historygram #historymatters #historyteacher #iraq #israel #jordan #june #june11 #map #mapa #maps #modernhistory #palestine #saudiarabia #syria #unitednations #arabisraeliwar #todayinhistory #historytoday #thisdayinhistory (at Jerusalem) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBShEiSgXu4/?igshid=tcnttywa02ix

NEW MAP: Eastern Mediterranean 1988: First Intifada (15 Nov 1988) https://buff.ly/2ppXtp3 In late 1987 unrest broke out in the West Bank and Gaza Strip as disaffected Palestinians rose up against the twenty-year-long Israeli occupation. Despite the deployment of 80,000 Israeli troops to the territories, suppressing the uprising (the Intifada) was costly and in 1991 Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) agreed to negotiate peace. #1980s #1988 #20thcentury #cartographic #easternmediterranean #hezbollah #historias #histories #historisch #historygeek #historygram #historylover #historylovers #iran #israel #jordan #lebanon #mapping #maps #militaryhistory #modernhistory #november #november15 #oldmaps #palestine #syria #gazastrip #recenthistory #westbank #newmap (at Jerusalem, Israel) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3oYYZHgWwr/?igshid=qvzko09sr85o

NEW MAP: Eastern Mediterranean 1991: Collapse of the Eastern Bloc (17 Sep 1991) https://buff.ly/2MCiEgW In 1989 the Cold War came to an abrupt end as the Soviet Union’s attempts to reform allowed the countries of the Eastern Bloc to throw off communist rule. Two years later, both the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union itself collapsed as their component states ended local communist rule and asserted their independence. #1990s #1991 #20thcentury #albania #bulgaria #cartografia #easternbloc #easternmediterranean #hezbollah #historian #historias #historical #historicalplace #historyclass #historygeek #historygram #ironcurtain #lebanon #mapping #maps #modernhistory #recenthistory #september #september17 #coldwar #ussr #welovehistory #worldhistory #yugoslavia #newmap (at Sofia, Bulgaria) https://www.instagram.com/p/B36cwnIAq5t/?igshid=1ikyt9gj20bgw

NEW MAP: Eastern Mediterranean 1984: Multinational Force in Lebanon (05 Feb 1984) https://buff.ly/2mmzB4E Following Israel’s invasion of Lebanon (1982), a US-led Multinational Force (MNF) landed in Beirut to supervise the withdrawal of PLO and Israeli forces and restore the Lebanese government to power. Although successful at securing the withdrawals, the MNF ultimately failed in its mission as increasing clashes between Christians, Muslims, and Druze saw Lebanon fall back into civil war. #1980s #1984 #20thcentury #february #beirut #cartographic #easternmediterranean #february5 #geopolitics #historia #historian #historic #historical #historyclass #historygeek #historylesson #historylovers #instahistory #israel #lebanon #lebanesecivilwar #middleeast #mapmaking #mapping #maps #modernhistory #palestine #syria #unitednations #newmap (at Beirut, Lebanon) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3DF8aXAwu_/?igshid=juf9ohbun2bj

NEW MAP: Eastern Mediterranean 1982: 1982 Lebanon War (18 Aug 1982) https://buff.ly/2la6rVL In June 1982, following more clashes with the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), Israel launched a second invasion of Lebanon, rapidly advancing as far as Beirut, where it trapped both PLO and Syrian forces. After a two-month siege, the PLO agreed to evacuate Lebanon and Israel pulled back to the Awali River, where it remained in occupation of a third of the country until 1985. #1980s #1982 #20thcentury #august #august18 #carta #cartographer #cartographic #easternmediterranean #geopolitics #plo #historian #historisch #historyofisrael #historylovers #historymaker #historyteacher #lebanesecivilwar #lebanesehistory #israel #lebanon #map #maps #modernhistory #palestine #syria #unitednations #welovemaps #worldhistory #newmap (at Beirut, Lebanon) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2xIkZ4gD5t/?igshid=kr5ziiidshhq

NEW MAP: Eastern Mediterranean 1976: Lebanese Civil War (15 Nov 1976) https://buff.ly/2Lg3xYS The influx of Palestinian refugees and militants into Lebanon—especially after the Six-Day War (1967) and Black September (1970)—destabilized the half-Muslim, half-Christian country. In 1975 civil war broke out, leading to the eventual division of the country between the Palestinian, Muslim, and leftist Lebanese National Movement (LNM) and the Christian and rightist Lebanese Front (LF). Wary of Palestinian successes, Syria intervened in support of the LF in 1976, but failed to bring the war to a conclusive end. #easternmediterranean #history #welovehistory #welovemaps #map #1970s #20thcentury #modernhistory #1976 #israel #lebanon #lebanesecivilwar #november #november15 #plo #palestinians #syrianhistory #lebanesehistory #civilwar #coldwar #middleeast #maps #newmap #historyteacher #historybuff #historygeek #historynerd #worldhistory #cartography #geopolitics (at Beirut, Lebanon) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1o_1nMA5kb/?igshid=a6e6h55lxgz5

NEW MAP: Eastern Mediterranean 1978: Operation Litani (19 Mar 1978) https://buff.ly/30RFgi7 In March 1978 Palestinians based in southern Lebanon mounted a major terrorist attack on Israel. In response, Israel invaded Lebanon, occupying the area south of the Litani River. After several days fighting, the UN intervened, imposing a ceasefire on both sides and establishing a peace-keeping force (UNIFIL) in the country. #easternmediterranean #history #welovehistory #welovemaps #map #1970s #20thcentury #modernhistory #1978 #idf #historyoflebanon #lebanesecivilwar #plo #march #march19 #palestine #litaniriver #lebanonwar #middleeast #syria #unitednations #maps #newmap #historyteacher #historybuff #historygeek #historynerd #worldhistory #cartography #geopolitics (at Marjayoûn, Al Janub, Lebanon) https://www.instagram.com/p/B17DFp-gE2x/?igshid=1ez4jkgxk6jk4
