Each conflict described in these pages marked a turning point for a nation, whether it was in defence of its identity, ideals and population, or for a cause close to its heart. War has been the chosen course of resolution for nations throughout history, from before the Persian invasion at Marathon in 490 BCE, to the Falklands War in 1982 and beyond. Here, you can examine the tactics that formed each attack and retreat as well as detailed battle maps and diagrams that recreate each move.
