• Every battle in history, mapped

  

  Wikidata knows of 20,202 battles. I mapped the 13,712 with a place and a date, from 3001 BCE to 2026, to find the most fought-over places on Earth, follow the centre of war century by century, and see how much the famous map is really a map of who wrote things down.
