Battles at Last.This page was last modified 14:08, 16 January 2008.For the band, see Battles (band).Battles are most often fought during wars or military campaigns and can usually be well defined in time, space and action.Wars and military campaigns are guided by strategy whereas battles are the stage on which tactics are employed.German strategist Carl von Clausewitz stated that "the employment of battles to gain the end of war" was the essence of strategy.British military historian Sir John Keegan suggested an ideal definition of battle as "something which happens between two armies leading to the moral then physical disintegration of one or the other of them" though the origins and outcomes of battles can rarely be summarized so neatly.If no decision is reached in battle, the result is a stalemate.Up until the 20th century the majority of battles were of short duration, many lasting a day or less; the Battle of Gettysburg and the Battle of Nations were exceptional for lasting three days.Battles may be small scale, involving a handful of individuals, perhaps two squads, up to battles on army levels where hundreds of thousands may be engaged in a single battle at one time.The space a battle occupies depends on the range of the weapons of the combatants.Until the advent of artillery and aircraft, battles were fought with the two sides in sight, if not reach, of each other.Battles are, on the whole, made up of a multitude of individual combats and the individual will usually only experience a small part of the events.The factors of battles
Battles are decided by various factors.Battles throughout history have shown that morale and the quality of troops are often more important than quantity.Weapons and armor may also play as a decisive factor; however, during the Wars of Scottish Independence the Scots emerged victorious over the English despite inferior weaponry.Battles can also be determined by terrain.Capturing high ground, for example, has been the central strategy in innumerable battles.An army that holds the high ground forces the enemy to climb, and thus wear down.Another advantage is it is physically easier to strike a blow from a higher position than from a lower position.The British in the naval Battle of Trafalgar, for example, owed its success to the reputation of celebrated admiral Lord Nelson.Battles can be fought on land, sea, and in the modern age, in the air.Naval battles have occurred since before the 5th century BC.Air battles have been far less common, due to its late conception, the most prominent being the Battle of Britain in 1940.However since the Second World War land or sea battles have come to rely on air support.The goal of a "battle of attrition" is to inflict greater loss on the enemy than you suffer yourself; many battles of the First World War were intentionally (Verdun) or unintentionally (Somme) attrition battles.Battle of Hastings, or as a turning point in the fortunes of the belligerents, such as the Battle of Stalingrad.The concept of the "decisive battle" became popular with the publication in 1851 of Edward Creasy's The Fifteen Decisive Battles of the World.Fuller (The Decisive Battles of the Western World) and B.The differences among land battles throughout history
There is an obvious difference in the way battles have been fought throughout time.Early battles were probably fought between rival hunting bands as disorganized mobs.However, during the Battle of Megiddo, the first reliably documented battle, in the fifteenth century BC, actual discipline was instilled in both armies.Each would follow the orders from their officers and fight as a single unit instead of individuals.Each army was successively divided into regiments, battalions, companies, and platoons.World War I, known as trench warfare, developed nearly half a century later.Instead of the locked trench warfare of World War I, during World War II, a dynamic network of battles developed where small groups encountered other platoons.Modern battles now continue to resemble that of World War II, though prominent innovations have been added.Indirect combat through the use of aircraft and missiles now comprise of a large portion of wars in place of battles, where battles are now mostly reserved for capturing cities.The difference of naval battles throughout history
One significant difference of modern naval battles as opposed to earlier forms of combat is the use of marines, which introduced amphibious warfare.Another invention in the late Middle Ages was the use of Greek fire by the Byzantines, which was used to light enemy fleets on fire.After the invention of cannons, naval warfare became useful as support units for land warfare.The ironclad, first used in the American Civil War, resistant to cannons, soon made the wooden ship obsolete.With the development of military aircraft during World War II, battles were fought in the sky as well as below the ocean.Aerial battles throughout history
Although the use of aircraft has for the most part always been used as a supplement to land or naval engagements, since their first major military use in World War I aircraft have increasingly taken on larger roles in warfare.Some of the more notable aerial battles in this period include the Battle of Britain and the Battle of Midway.Despite this, aircraft today are much more extensively used as the primary tools for both army and navy, as evidenced by the prominent use of helicopters to transport and support troops, the use of aerial bombardment as the "first strike" in many engagements, and the replacement of the battleship with the aircraft carrier as the center of most modern navies.Battles are almost invariably named after some feature of the battlefield geography, such as the name of a town, forest or river.Occasionally battles are named after the date on which they took place, such as The Glorious First of June.In the Middle Ages it was considered important to settle on a suitable name for a battle which could be used by the chroniclers.Some place names have become synonymous with the battles that took place there, such as the Passchendaele, Pearl Harbor or the Alamo.Operation Market Garden and Operation Rolling Thunder are examples of battles known by their military codenames.When a battleground is the site of more than one battle in the same conflict, the instances are distinguished by ordinal number, such as the First and Second Battles of Bull Run.Hungary during the First World War.Some battles are named for the convenience of military historians so that periods of combat can be neatly distinguished from one another.Following the First World War, the British Battles Nomenclature Committee was formed to decide on standard names for all battles and subsidiary actions.To the soldiers who did the fighting, the distinction was usually academic; a soldier fighting at Beaumont Hamel on 13 November 1916 was probably unaware he was taking part in what the committee would call the "Battle of the Ancre".The effects of a battle
Battles affect the individuals who take part, as well as the political actors.Physical effects of battle can include scars, amputations, lesions, loss of hearing, blindness, and paralysis, as well as death.Battles also affect politics.Battles in civil wars have often decided the fate of monarchs or political factions.Battles also affect the commitment of one side or the other to the continuance of a war, for example the Battle of Inchon and the Battle of Hue during the Tet Offensive.This page was last modified 20:58, 11 January 2008.All text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License.See Copyrights for details.Russia mobilised 12
