Over 125 years of crisis,
mapped as a causal graph.

CrisisGraph is a collaborative knowledge graph of the wars, pandemics, natural disasters, industrial failures, terrorism, and financial crashes that shaped the modern world — and the laws, agencies, and reforms that responded. Every event has its own URL, its own citations, its own place in the chain.

Why it exists

The web has plenty of timelines and plenty of encyclopedias — but no single place that treats history as a causal graph. Wikipedia links pages; it doesn't type the edges. Timelines lay events on an axis; they don't tell you which one caused which.

CrisisGraph is that missing piece. Typed causal edges (CAUSED, INFLUENCED, RESPONDED_TO, EXPOSED, INFORMED…) with evidence text and citations. First-class per-entity URLs and structured data (schema.org/Event, Legislation, Report) so search engines and other tools can join against it. Grows nightly through Zafronix's own AI pipeline — no third-party API calls, no user data shared out. Free to explore, free to embed, free to build on.
