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.
