Notes on Translation
The electronic translation service on the York Region District School Board's website is hosted by Google Translate. The quality of the translation will vary in some of the languages offered by Google. Google Translate is a free service and currently offers translation in over 50 languages, although an impressive number, this does not capture all languages or dialects. The basic translation’s goal is to capture the general intention of the original English material.
The York Region District School Board does not guarantee the quality, accuracy or completeness of any translated information. Before you act on translated information, the Board encourages you to confirm any facts that are important to you and affect any decisions you may make.
The York Region District School Board is committed to parent, family and community engagement, and it is our hope that by providing this tool on our website that we are making our information more accessible to families whose first language is not English and thereby enabling better engagement in public education.

The Geography of War |
IDC3O1 |
This course traces the geographical patterns of war. Warfare is vastly different in the 21st century than even a hundred years ago, when battles were fought primarily at close range. Even the most well-equipped army of today, with sophisticated tanks, planes, subs and technology is subject to geography, including topography, terrain, vegetation, climate, and weather. Despite its technological superiority, for example, U.S. forces found the mountains of Afghanistan as difficult an obstacle as had armies dating back to Alexander the Great.
Students will learn about wars and regional geography over various time periods, from the armies of ancient Egypt and Rome, the knights of Medieval times to modern nuclear warfare, and war’s effects on political and social structures. Students will discover the importance of geography and war in historical studies of chronology and cause-and-effect relationships. As well, they will be given opportunities to formulate appropriate questions, develop informed opinions, and present information in a variety of ways. |
