This timeline visualization maps key geopolitical events from 1953 to 2025 in the Middle East, showing escalation toward conflict through a chronological sequence of dated markers. It displays each event as a colored circle positioned along a horizontal time axis, with category colors distinguishing military conflicts, diplomatic negotiations, and humanitarian crises. The visualization uses D3.js v7 with event data loaded from a JavaScript module, presenting details on click. Interactive tooltips appear on hover, and the implementation leverages d3.scaleTime for the temporal axis and d3.select for DOM manipulation.
