Evolution and history of war

By Hanako0w0
  • 1457 BCE

    Battle of Megiddo

    This was the first well-documented wartime in history. This battle was fought between Egyptian units and Canaanite units. The Egyptians won this battle and expanded their territory.
  • 335 BCE

    Alexander the III's Balken Campaign

    This was the first of Alexander the Great's campaigns. During this event, Alexander showed true leadership and fought with amazing tactics, never before seen. This campaign was a success for Alexander and his people, and he won his wars against the Balken.
  • 334 BCE

    Alexander the III's Persian Campaign

    This was Alexander the Great's second campaign. To avoid being beaten, he created new strategies and defenses to beat the Persians. This event truly revolutionized tactics.
  • 327 BCE

    Alexander the III's Indian Campaign

    This was Alexander the Great's third and final campaign. As all of his others were, this campaign ended in success. Throughout all of Alexander's fights, his ingenious mind made creative and successful, new, never-before-seen strategies and tactics.

    The Iberian War

    Fought by Flavius Belisarius and his army, the Iberian War saw new tactics be used that were altered variations of previous great generals tactics. This resulted in a victory for Belisarius and his people.
  • 533

    Vandalic War

    Another one of Belisarius' wars, this was a major battle for all of the history of war. This war still is studied to this day by historians and tacticians, for it was very influential.
  • 535

    Gothic War

    Yet another war fought by the great general, Flavius Belisarius. This war was historic, and showed true spirit in battle and great mindpower in tacticionary force.
  • 536

    African Mutiny

    This isn't considered a war, but was still a major battle fought by Belisarius. He, and others, fought to siege an African King's castle, and overthrew the said king. It was a successful siege and mutiny.
  • 541

    Lazic War

    The last of Belisarius' great wars and battles, the Lazic war is also famously known as The Great War of Egrisi. This battle was fought over control of an ancient Georgian region of Lazica. This war was 20 years long.
  • 1095

    The Crusades

    The crusades were a sort of religious wars fought in the middle age, and most fights were supported by the Latin Church. Due to religious belief, these people following the Latin church were trying to 'reclaim' their 'holy land' from Muslim rule. There was a lot of bloodshed.
  • 1206

    The Mongol Conquests

    Known by historians as one of the deadliest episodes in all of history, the Mongol conquests were terrifying. They took a large portion of Eurasia, killing and taking everything in sight. They were much like the Vikings in their violent and pillage-y behavior. They might've also spread the bubonic plague, contributing to the Black Death.

  • World War 1

    Of course, you know what WW1 is. We have all heard of it, and have all learned about it. WW1 is the first World-wide conflict between nations ever in history. There were many deaths, and many battles across several nations. This was very important for the fact of evolution in warfare, as well as learning the devestations of war.

  • World War 2

    Just one international multi-nation conflict wasn't enough, so Germany decided they wanted another go at it. WW2 followed WW1, and the events WW1 brought thereafter. Just as devestating, deadly, and destructive, but now with new technology and tactics. Germany, didn't win.

  • The Cold War

    The Cold War was perhaps the most interesting of wars, ever, in my opinion. The cold war did not consist of major battles or any direct conflicts. Infact, the majority of this war was fought with information instead of actual battles and weaponry. This 'war' was between the USA and the USSR. This caused a form of 'imposterism' in society, and was a large, nonviolent information war.

  • War of Vietnam

    The war of Vietnam was interesting, because it wasn't a necessary war, and shouldn't have taken place. The tactics used by the vietnamese were very different, but were a form of Gorilla Warfare. It was highly effective. The USA used inhumane ways to 'win' (We did not actually win, we lost.), including methods that broke the Geneva convention's rules. There are still people suffering from the use of Agent Orange.
