“Populated #Eurasia is a vast wedge, anchored in the west by the North European Plain; in the south by the Sea of Marmara region, the city-states of the Middle East, and the vast green of the Indian subcontinent; and in the east by the timeless civilizations of the Chinese. Traditionally, travel among these three great arcs of humanity has been limited. Middle Eastern deserts impede movement between Europe and South Asia, while jungles and mountains limit direct contact between South and East Asia.
What they all have access to, however—and what they all are threatened by—are the infinite flats of Central Eurasia. The North European Plain funnels open from only two hundred miles wide at the Polish Gap to over fifteen hundred by the time it reaches central #Belarus and #Ukraine.

Moving west from coastal China, the arid interior gives way to a veritable sea of grass. Moving northwest out of the Indian subcontinent requires navigating a couple mountain passes and plateaus that ultimately give way to the steppes of Central Asia. Unlike every portion of the world we have discussed to this point, Central Eurasia has absolutely no meaningful geographical barriers”
