Battles in World History
2,300 battles, sieges and naval battles from 1457 BC to 2026, each with its date, place and coordinates, region, war, sides and commanders where known. Drawn from Wikidata and limited to well-documented battles: an English Wikipedia article and articles in at least 15 languages (10 outside Europe, where other-language coverage is thinner). Dates are as recorded, not converted between calendars; DataNotes says where Wikidata's date or coordinates are weaker.
