In 1904, Halford Mackinder delivered a seminal lecture entitled 'The Geographical Pivot of History' to a packed house at the Royal Geographical Society in London about the historic changes then taking place on the world stage. Britain was the great power of that historical moment, but its political, military, and economic primacy was under serious challenge from the United States, Germany, and Russia. Mackinder predicted that the 'heartland' of Eastern Europe held the key to global hegemony and that the struggle for control over this region would be the next great conflict.
