Scenarios about 'geopolitics'
Geopolitics refers to the study of how geographical factors influence international relations, political power, and state behavior. It examines how natural resources, territorial control, strategic locations, and physical geography shape diplomatic strategies, military decisions, and economic policies of nations. In alternate history scenarios, geopolitical analysis helps understand how different geographical realities or resource distributions might have altered the balance of power between nations and reshaped global conflicts and alliances.
