==Origin of the concept==
The origin of the concept of "geo-politics" or "[[political]] [[geography]]" was born in relation to the territories of [[Ukraine]], [[Belarus]], [[Poland]] and the [[Caucuses]], or the [[Intermarium]]. Also ancient [[Scythia]]. The wide-open [[steppe]] of the borderlands between Europe and Asia, East and West, Orthodox, Catholic and Muslim, Slav, German, Turk and others, with its lack of mountainous terrain to serve as natural boundaries between groups with linguistic, cultural, religious and traditional background differences is how the term or study of "geopolitics" came into existence. "Geopolitics" is a 19th & 20th century invention to study the intersection of the Occident & Orient, with its sordid history of conflict over many millennia.
Theoretically, it was only by study and interaction between these peoples in an effort to understand each other better that racial, ethnic, and [[violent]] conflict can be reduced between peoples who may be at different points in their social and economic development from [[Western civilization|Western societies]]. History has shown it jasn';t always worked out that way.
