Team: Akshita Bawa and Rajshree Saraf
Initially, we decided to go with my idea that I was developing for the last few weeks, India and Pakistan Cricket Rivalry and Impact of Wars and Conflict on it. We were inspired by some of the examples Yuliya had sent us and some that we found in our research:
Reconstructing seven days of protests in Minneapolis after George Floyd's death
See How the World's Most Polluted Air Compares With Your City's (Published 2019)
Before we started formalizing our research we also found out that this year also marks the 50th anniversary of the 1971 war between India and Pakistan on 16th December.
After going through the articles and previous research we created our own database of conflicts; ruling leaders (PM, President); cricket matches, and their locations. Here is the document embedded below:

Once we created the database using official sources (cited at the bottom) we decided to plot it using flourish and see if can find any patterns. The plot looked like this:
The data showed how the frequency of matches increased during peaceful times and how during other times matches happened at the international level only and at the neutral venue.
We then plotted the data on p5.js just to see how it would look. Here is the image and link to the p5.js sketch.
