About
The Peace Atlas begins with a single date: 21 September, the International Day of Peace. Established in 1981 and fixed as a day of non-violence and cease-fire in 2001, the observance is treated here as a doorway into the longer human history behind it: the ideas, agreements, movements, and people that have shaped how societies imagine and pursue peace.
The atlas is organized as a knowledge graph rather than a shelf of articles. A timeline sets the chronological frame, while catalogues of events, people, ideas, movements, cultures, treaties, and documents link into one another, so every entry opens doors to the next. A quiz teaches rather than scores, games are played with the same underlying knowledge, and an optional AI companion helps you explore. Its answers are always labeled as interpretation, never authority.
Evidence comes first here. Factual claims trace to institutional sources such as the UN, archives, universities, and recognized collections, and the text distinguishes documented fact from historical interpretation, competing readings, and genuine uncertainty. Nothing requires an account, and quiz and game progress lives only in your browser.
Start anywhere: the timeline, search, or a question for the research companion. The aim is modest: that you leave with a question you did not arrive with.
