Scrub through 125 years of coups, invasions, proxy wars, puppet regimes and embargoes, on a map with historically accurate shifting borders. You can zoom in on regions with three presets or a free pan & zoom mode, toggle off/on intervention types or military bases if you want, and hover over things to see descriptions. Click to pin tooltips.

A little further down on the page there's also a stacked bar chart of interventions by decade, with the nine subcategories of interventions I used.

If you see any way to improve the data or presentation, let me know! There's a feedback form at the bottom of the page.
