About BattleDB

A database of 106 battles spanning from ancient warfare to modern conflicts. Covering every major war and military engagement that shaped history.

Each battle page lists the war it belonged to, the year, the location, the opposing sides, and a short account of how it was fought and why it mattered. Battles are grouped by war and by era, from the ancient world through the classical, medieval, early modern and industrial periods to the world wars and modern conflicts.

Browse by war or era from the home page, or search by battle, commander, country, or war. Each battle page links to other battles of the same war.
