#30DayMapChallenge 🗺️ Day 2️⃣1️⃣: Conflict

I figured a lot of mappers will create maps about recent wars and conflicts so I decided to create a map about #WorldWarI and see if #Wikidata is a good enough source for its battles, conflicts, and military operations.

I also wanted to know if there are any open data sources for historical borders, and I found one, CShapes! https://icr.ethz.ch/data/cshapes/
