Who among the following opined the concept of "Geographical pivot of History" ?

  • A.Karl Haushofer
  • B.Halford Mackinder
  • C.Alexander De Seversky
  • D.Alfred T. Mahan

Answer: B

The concept of the geographical pivot of history was put forward by Halford Mackinder in 1904. He argued that the vast interior of Eurasia, the pivot area or heartland, was inaccessible to sea power and whoever controlled it would command the world island. Karl Haushofer developed German geopolitics, Alexander de Seversky wrote on air power, and Alfred Mahan on sea power, so they did not originate the pivot idea.
