- This video shows every battle referenced on Wikipedia (10,624). Every battle is represented by a dot. Dots stay on the map for a while and then disappear.
List of every battle on Wikipedia : docs.google.com/document/d/1W...
Rules
• Battles are included only if they have a Wikipedia article
• Each country can only have 1 predecessor state at the same time (eg. the UK's predecessor is England, but not Scotland)
Methodology:
I used Wikipedia as a directory of battles:
1. I created a query with Wikidata Query to get the list of all articles tagged as "battle" by Wikipedia. This gives me about 12,000 battles
2. I downloaded the data that is included in the top right hand table of every of those Wikipedia article. I did it for the following versions of Wikipedia: English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Arabic, Chinese, Russian, Greek, Turkish, Serbo-Croatian, Japanese, Danish, Norwegian, Slovakian, Dutch, Polish, Hungarian, Czech, Hindi, Hebrew, Basque, Bulgarian, Romanian, Catalan, Finnish, Swedish, Vietnamese, Persian, Indonesian, Korean
3. I cleaned up the data on Excel to remove double entries and obtained 10,624 unique battles
4. I created an index of countries with their predecessor states:
• France (476 - 2018): Frankish Kingdom, Frankish Empire, West Francia, Kingdom of France, French Empire, French Republic
• UK-England (927 - 2018): Kingdom of England, Commonwealth of England, Great Britain, United Kingdom
• USA (1776 - 2018): American patriots, USA
• Russia (882 - 2018) : Kievan Rus', Muscovy, Russian Empire, Bolsheviks, USSR, Russian Federation
• Germany (843 - 2018) : East Francia, Kingdom of Germany, Holy Roman Empire, Confederation of the Rhine, German Confederation, North German Confederation, German Empire, Germany
• Spain (718 - 2018) : Asturies, León, Castile, Kingdom of Spain
• Poland (960 - 2018) : Kingdom of Poland, Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, Duchy of Warsaw, Polish insurgents, Poland
• Rome (753 BC - 476) : Roman Kingdom, Roman Republic, Roman Empire, Western Roman Empire
• China (2500 BC - 2018) : Xia, Shang, Zhou, Qin, Han, 3 Kingdoms, Jin, Sui, Tang, 10 Kingdoms, Song, Yuan, Ming, China
• Turkey (1037 - 2018): Seljuk empire, Anatolian Turks, Ottoman Empire, Turkey
Limitations :
You probably noticed that Europe concentrates the majority of battles. Possible explanations include the fact that Wikipedia is used more in Europe, the ban of Wikipedia in China or Turkey, or the lack of documentation of military records in some countries.
Some similar research also found that Europe had more battles than the rest of the world. www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worl...

France 1815: 776
@Matheus Troan Far from the best, he was the best tactician of his time no doubt, but he was a lousy strategist, he had no clear goals for France to achieve. He practically won every battle, but lost the war. He's in good company, though, with Hannibal, and the US military in the same category
@@rrdgz5355 he won five wars, he lost two
France 1792: 382
France 1815: 776
Revolutionary boost first before the Napoleonic one lol. Eveyone just forget the French Revolutionary Wars.
@Hornyshark No he became emperor after having become First Consul of France following a coup he orchestrated in 1799. He became popular in France near the end of the War of the First Coalition when he single-handedly kicked Austria out of the war when a triple attack was supposed to do so (the other two generals who were supposed to drop on the Austrians from the north while Napoleon did from the south were defeated but Napoleon who was leading the french army in Italy still succeeded in securing victory anyway which got France rid of the last threat.... Only Britain remained and their navy was a pain in the ass, their army alone was no big deal so France was no longer under threat of invasion, hence Napoleon's popularity). But by the time, Napoleon did all of that against the Austrians, the French had already conquered the low countries (the Netherlands included) and vast swathes of the HRE. Spain and Prussia were already out of the war by that point as well. Napoleon had nothing to do with any of that. There was only Austria and Britain left by that point. Most tellings of the the French Revolutionary Wars overly focus on the role Napoleon played in them due to his future role which leads to all other fronts (but the italian campaign as well the Siege of Toulon) not being talked about.
And Napoleon spent most of the War of the Second Coalition in Egypt. Him coming back and successfully seizing power did help in that one though as the war wasn't going that great for the French up to that point.
Remember, these are RECORDED battles. The map is likely a lot worse.
Especially in the western hemisphere.

Fun fact: At about 1250 BCE a little dot appears in the northeastern corner of Germany. That was the battle of the Tollense-valley. There aren’t any written records about it, but archeologists dug up a battlesite with incredibly high casualties for the time and place. This is the first large battle in Europe that we know of
Foreshadowing
As curently known it wasnt actual buttle, more like caravan ambush
Obviously, there were fewer wars in the world during the confrontation between the USSR and the USA. Parity has been established in the world. Global players were afraid to show aggression. After the collapse of the USSR, military conflicts engulfed the whole world. "The Red Threat", "bloody Stalin" is a lie. We see who really wants war. "The capitalist world", "freedom and democracy", "Western values" are a mask behind which wars and blood are hidden. In the near future, the war will cover many other countries, even where there has not been a war for a long time. And if everything is fine with you, then don't relax. The enemy of humanity has taken off his mask. Either humanity will win, or the parasitic class will win. Brothers unite.

Your profile pic is cursed
^^
Wathefock is that picture of you
i agree, but since i learn Chinese History in Secondary, I wanna tell you what the real events is.
in the Shang Dynasty (商朝), the last king is called Zhou, and the people really hated them so a nation called Zhou killed the king and made a Zhou Dynasty (周朝)
In the Zhou Dynasty, the first king called Wu cut China into small pieces and called a lot of people to go and look after the lands, also putting the old Shang people in a smaller land 'Yin' so everyone can stop them if they try to go and ruin the government. Seems nice right? Actually not. After a few years, the government of the lands around Yin got persuaded by Yin and attacked the government, but it didn't succeed.

@@VivekKumar-rb7zk That's population density and although it is normal for population to be correlated with amount of battles Europe is ridiculously overepresented (Japan too actually.)
Now we could pin it down to political fragmentation as a source of conflict (and it works really well for China and Japan), but then we look at India and the amount of battles is underwhelming for the population and political fragmentation (I'm convinced that most battles on the Indian subcontinent went unreported.)
@@meneither3834 Actually you are wrong.
India indeed has seen many disastrous battle, but comparing it to Europe or China, it was very very peaceful.
So much so, that it's the wars in most cases, the reason for the downfall of an empire, but in case of India, it was a volcanic explosion in modern day Indonesia in 6th century AD, which led to drastic change in seasons ultemately causing famines in India, which led to first deurbanisation of North India.

my anthropology teachers said that archelogical evidence so far shows that Europe did have more battles but anthropology changes with new evidence so we'll see.
i think europe has a lot of battles because its a peninsula not a continent. it has a lot of people in small spaces and the scarcity that creates leads to conflict. we've only been living in a post-famine time for a few decades now and as we can see the world is a lot more peaceful. except for the US anyway.

Меня поражает тот факт что Германия и Россия(у которых война - это сплошная история ) в свое время выиграли немало крупных битв с армиями 30k+ с каждой стороны и у них 400 битв за всю историю, а у американцев за битвы считают какие то бандитские стычки с индейцами и мексиканцами
Бандисткие стычки? Они с индейцами десятки лет друг глотки резали. А война с мексикой подарила штатам около одной пятой своей территории
Это не сравнить с битвами с участием многотысячных армий, так то и в России тоже боролись с коренным населением, а про германию я вообще молчу ( особенно если взять Территории Германии середины средних веков, когда они там друг друга резали только в путь. ( где в этом списке наши 800+ битв с самими собой и коренным населением) потому что без этого Ну ладно у США есть война с Испанией, которая тоже не сказать что бы была шибко затяжной, (Корея, кампания в западной европе и Италии +- 10 крупных битв. (Франция Сицилия, высадка в самой Италии, окружения Моделя под Руром Тихоокеанская кампания +-30 крупных битв (Но я бы назвая Мидуэй , бой за Филипины и Иводзиму с Окинавой как 4 отдельных крупных сражения. И из последнего Иракская кампания (кампания 91-го и 2003 го годов) Буря в Пустыне + еще сколько то ну я уверен менее 10 сражений где Иракская армия еще представляла из себя что то способное организованно сопротивляться) Где они там насчитали 800 битв?

@@urielfulgencio5285 Funny thing is the US is like 235 years old. The Dutch had a 335 year old war (longest war in history and longest bloodless war in history). The more you know😂🤣
note that rome is still in the top 10 since 3000 years... and was the first until 1700
Can you think of any another empire that was the non-stop undisputed hegemon of the classical world (East Asia has different rules due to geography and China was broken several times to be reformed by a new dynasty) for a period of 600 years (from -200 to 400 roughly) ?
Having a solid tradition of written history also helps to get a high score there, and the Romans did a fantastic job when it comes to that. It doesn't matter how many battles you win, if no one writes about them and they get forgotten when too old to be living memory.
They also won one at 1849 somehow
They probably counted Italy as Rome for some reason
@@jandcgaming1515 no!
Italy counted as italy since the union in 1861
Rome counted as rome from 753 bc to 476 ac.
I am so much proud of it
As tremendous of an achievement as this video is, it is impossible to plot every conflict in history. For example, La Violencia and subsequent Colombian Conflict have caused hundreds of thousands of death, and yet there is only one dot for Colombia in the second half of XX century. Same goes for Algeria with zero dots in the 1990s despite the bloody civil war at the time
You should of color coded the map also. That would of been awesome.
The fact that Poland went off the map so many times yet is still in top 10 is impressive. That’s the spirit

I really want to see the number of battle won by all greek city states and empires. That would be cool.
Global perspective on battles very accurate and well done.
Problem with maps like this is that without more info, it's just a heatmap of where people lived and who had good record keeping. I'm sure there were more unknown battles than known
Also the source is wikipedia which focuses very much on the west.
Winners write history. No history, no winning. That's the rule
There is probably a pretty strong correlation between where people live and where battles occur, though.
@@nielsunnerup7099 that's kind my point
@@-timothe- That's not always true. Besides if that's so than why didn't Vietnam, the winner of the Vietnam war, write how the Vietnam war played out from their perspective on the world stage and instead looked at it from the American prespective.
The Romans still had the most victories in 1700, 1200 years after their fall.
Even today, Rome is 8th in how many battles they won.
Danymok dude you make such good videos
Rome should be 7th. Dont understand why they don’t add byzantium’s victories on top of rome’s since it’s literally the eastern roman empire while for example they do count han and xia both as china or umayyad and rashudin both as the islamic caliphate
@@jellyfishi_ Long live Rome, long live the Empire.
@@apparentlyjeremy Historically illiterate.
Rome could be higher, we have probably lost many battles. Impossible to compare modern countries et antiques ones.

I just wanna know wtf kind of battle Florida had going on in 2017
When France has won the most battles in world history but gets made fun of for surrendering
**logic**
Bruh I have to keep telling you frenchies that the u.s is far younger than France but it almost caught up with france.
Recorded battles* But yes you're right
France lost big battles like trying to invade Russia (napoleon) and surrendering in WW2
You know... N B is right.
French Revolution: *happens*
France: *”battles won” intensifies*
well Napoleon is definitely up there in the list of the most aggressive people on history.
@@gildeddrake1479" Agreesive"lol just because he made France powerfull that make him agressive?And he conquered Europe because he had to defend France from the attack of all the other European Monarchies
@@historicalmaps3652 That is exactly what aggressive is in terms of war. Warmongering and ambitious. Napoleon didn't just want to defend against the monarchies of Europe, he wanted to expand. That is aggressive.
@@ElusiveTy It must be known that Napoleon had no intention of annoying anyone, and declared war on no one, he only defended himself. Well yes, after the revolution of 1789 the European monarchies were allied to attack France and restore the monarchy, Napoleon quickly took control of France and calmed them, before invading them one by one to show them who was the boss. It seems to me that it is only Portugal and Russia that he attacked voluntarily, one of which is that Russia had broken the alliance with France.
I love Napoleon, but like any leader, he made mistakes, but to compare to the Nazis, no! He was a proud leader of his country and patriotic, who wanted to respect France around the world.He was considered a liberator especially by the Italians and the Poles so I do not think he was a dictator more he respected the conquered populations and that in any way he was defender so not responsible for the dead.
Historical maps Napolitano was very aggressive and ambitious but worse he through away many of his countrymen s lives in the process
Europe is so peaceful
Are you nuts 🌰?
Did the Alamo make that list? If so then the Eureka Stockade in Australia should've as well.
You realize how immense this timeline is when you see WW1 and WW2 as 2 second blips on the map.

If I understand correctly, do tavern fights count as great battles in the United States?
