Mackinder argued that this region, with its vast resources and strategic location, would be the key to global power. He believed that whoever controlled the heartland would have the ability to control the world's economic and political affairs. This theory had a significant impact on geopolitical thinking and influenced strategies during the World Wars and the Cold War.
