In 1943 Mackinder reassessed his theory of land power and came with the concept of 'Midland Basin'. Which of the following regions is not part of Midland Basin ?
Answer: C
The region not part of the Midland Basin is the Western United States of America.
In his 1943 article 'The Round World and the Winning of the Peace' in Foreign Affairs, Mackinder added the idea of the Midland Ocean, the North Atlantic, with its basin: Western Europe and Britain on one side, and eastern North America, the eastern United States and Canada, on the other. Together these formed a power centre to balance the Heartland.
The North Atlantic, Western Europe and the eastern United States are all part of the Midland Basin. The western United States faces the Pacific and lies outside it.
