I wholeheartedly recommend a historical atlas. They're great for perspective. It's worth noting that the Iraq War was basically the Invasion of California (from a perspective of geographical equivalency) and that London, during the reign of Henry VIII, had a population of 50,000 people... making the Plantagenet Succession the modern equivalent of a particularly bloody rural city council meeting.

Behold: The Gaza Strip.
