EDITORS COMMENTS
This map print, titled "The Eastern Mediterranean: Maps Showing the Strategic Importance of Crete and Cyprus during the Second World War," is a historical testament to the pivotal role these islands played in the Mediterranean Theatre of World War II. Created by cartographer G. H. Davis in 1941, the map offers a unique perspective on the geopolitical significance of Crete and Cyprus during this tumultuous period. The Eastern Mediterranean Sea, a vital oceanic artery connecting Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, is depicted in stunning detail. The map highlights the strategic importance of the islands of Crete and Cyprus, located at the eastern end of the Mediterranean. The annotations and illustrations provide valuable context, revealing the military installations, shipping lanes, and communication routes that crisscrossed the region. During World War II, Crete and Cyprus were of great strategic importance due to their proximity to key shipping lanes and their potential as military bases. In May 1941, the German forces launched a successful invasion of Crete, which marked the last major Axis seizure of territory in the Mediterranean. The fall of Crete threatened the Allied supply lines and forced a reevaluation of their defensive strategy in the region. Cyprus, on the other hand, remained under British control throughout the war and served as a crucial base for the Royal Navy, Royal Air Force, and the American military. The island's strategic position allowed it to protect the eastern Mediterranean from Axis influence and secure the vital sea lanes that connected the Middle East to Europe. This map print is an essential addition to any collection focused on World War II, military history, or cartography. It offers a captivating glimpse into the strategic considerations that shaped the course of the war in the Mediterranean and highlights the enduring significance of these islands in the broader historical context.
