"The Historical Geography of Europe, Vol. II, Maps" by Edward A. Freeman is a historical exploration of Europe, that uses detailed maps to show how the continent changed over time. Published in the late 1800s, this book is a companion to a previous volume and visually represents historical events through geographical shifts. The book looks at major changes in European borders, influenced by powerful groups from ancient Greece and Rome up to more modern times. The included maps cover important moments like the expansion of the Roman Empire, how Charles the Great's empire was split, and how treaties altered Southeastern Europe. Every map aims to make it easier to understand the politics and geography, so readers can visualize how the past created the Europe we know today.
