Every placed battle, siege and naval action, 1500 BC to 1991
Each set frames the globe on one war or campaign and lists its best-known engagements.
The Atlas of Battles places every battle, siege and naval engagement that has a recorded location on a single globe, from the Bronze Age to 1991. Each point carries the date, the belligerents, the commanders, the strength of each side and the outcome where those are recorded, and links to a page with a map and the record in full.
Points are coloured by era and sized by how widely the engagement is documented across Wikipedia's language editions. The atlas opens showing notable engagements only; the switch in the filter rail shows all of them. The time bar selects a window of years; Play sweeps that window forward. Choosing a war shows every engagement in it, large and small.
The atlas stops at 1991. Coordinates are those recorded in Wikidata and can be approximate, especially for ancient engagements whose sites are disputed. Present-day countries are shown for orientation; they are not the states that fought. Corrections are welcome at the source, on Wikidata, and flow into the atlas at the next rebuild.
