Additional Information
Located between Anatolia and the Balkans, the Aegean Sea is an embayment of the Mediterranean Sea and one of the most historically essential bodies of water in the region, especially during ancient Grecian times, as exploration and sailing allowed cultures to blend and create new societies and facilitated trade between Europe and Asia. Issues concerning the sovereignty of the Aegean Sea between Greece and Turkey have continued to cause political tension between the two countries since the 1970s and remains a contentious point to this day. The region attracts thousands of tourists annually for its clear water and limestone-bottomed beaches, and towns like Sardinia remain among the most iconic places in the world.
This map was produced by the United States Central Intelligence Agency and is utilized by political and military leaders to develop and implement policy and strategy, explore geopolitical changes, and maintain an understanding of the stability of a region. CIA maps bear a distinctive aesthetic and minimal style that sets them apart from more stylized maps and gives viewers a sense of the boundaries of the region and how they have evolved over centuries as society developed and countries were established as borders shifted.
Produced in 2006 as political tensions began to surface in Turkey, this map is an essential piece of modern geopolitical history that illustrates the importance of the Aegean Sea to the region. The Aegean Sea remains a vital waterway for the area as goods travel between markets from North Africa to Europe and Asia.
