CB is an educational project dedicated to demonstrating how political borders have changed over time. Unlike the textbook approach of presenting a mass of text describing details about history focusing on a given area, we have created visual aids showing the actual change taking place. After all, how can a student apply "why" information when they don't know "how" the world was affected?

We, the creators of the CB project were two students who asked the above question. All we wanted was the ability to put all of the information together and see how global events actually changed the face of the world. Now we are proud to present the product of our labor.
