Military geology and geopolitics

Geopolitics is steered along pipelines nowadays. Those words should be attributed to Henry Kissinger. Geopolitics is presented as a scientific discipline bound to explain effect of geography factors on the politics and history of nations. This simplified explanation shall be complemented by natural wealth of certain region. Otherwise the reason to put pipelines would be uncertain. And vice versa, this is a reason why our soldiers shall be educated in this area of knowledge. This article would like to contribute this education with the focus on the recognition of mineral deposits location. The Author rejected any imagination to provide the individual list of mineral deposits only. The natural rules on the mineral deposits development inside Earth crust have been presented. The mineral deposits of strategic significance have been manifested. The article is based on the lectures of geology in the framework of civil engineering as the starting point. The mineral deposits development shall be considered as a follow up study, hence a connection between civil engineering and geopolitics. Finally, an example based on the previous explanation, the presentation of the natural wealth of African continent has been submitted.
