Who among the following opined the concept of "Geographical Pivot of History" ?
Answer: C
The 'Geographical Pivot of History' is Halford Mackinder's concept.
In a paper of that title read to the Royal Geographical Society in 1904, Mackinder argued that the inner region of Eurasia, the pivot area he later called the Heartland, was the strategic centre of the world. In 1919 he summed it up: who rules East Europe commands the Heartland, who rules the Heartland commands the World-Island, and who rules the World-Island commands the world.
Alexander de Seversky is known for air power, Karl Haushofer (written 'Hanshofe' in the paper) for German Geopolitik, and A. T. Mahan for sea power.
