      i find it hard to believe there aren’t more recorded battles in china. unless even those records were lost during the revolution?

      or is this using english-language wikipedia or something.

      This cannot possibly be accurate. China should be just as dense as Europe and what about Iran?! That big gap south of the Caucasus could be filled with battles from the classical era alone. I’d love to know the source of this information, as it’s clearly biased towards Western data. How do you define a battle? Ethiopia has been the home to wars soooo many times, and they’re nearly empty. I bet the Italo-Ethiopian war had more battles than this.

      Edit – Okay so this is a map of every battle with its own wiki page, huge difference but makes sense where the western bias comes from. There is probably a page for every skirmish and tiff from Rome to WW2, whereas Asian sources just aren’t available for the general wiki-editing public.

      If I had to guess for some apparent confusion.

      1. It’s possible that whoever is made this only relied on English sources, which would obviously have a blindspot the further away from the English speaking/Americanized world you get.

      2. Record keeping practices and understanding of history is not universal. Rome and the Europeans and eventually Americans after them were meticulous record keepers. Today you can find records of „battles“ that were like 6 dudes fighting each other. It’s possible those extremely minor „battles“ are recorded here. Meanwhile in other parts of the world a lot of history is based on oral tradition and legends. As time moves on many things will be lost if not literally dug up by archeologists.

      That point in the Pacific Ocean, south and to the right of Hawaii – if I’m not mistaken, there’s not a single piece of land for a thousand miles. How the hell did they meet there to fight?

      upd: I googled sea routes and a little off the beaten path there is one route from Argentina to Southeast Asia, but damn, it’s still a matter of catching someone there.

      Bs map.. there was numerous battles in the south and northeast brazilian regions not counting other numerous in other parts of the country between the 17th and 18th century.

      Certainly far from actual data. For instance, take Ukraine – add more of WW1 and WW2 battles + war since 2014, must be many more dots

      I’m surprised there’s not a lot going on in China considering there were constant wars, and the Chinese were generally meticulous record keepers. They probably are recorded, but just in the local language and simply didn’t make it to the people who made the maps. This seems to be a Western centric map based upon the records shown.

      People really don’t like fighting in extreme cold or rainforests lol.

      Edit: at least according to the sources of this map.

      We fight for land that is desirous. We defend land we want to keep. This is the way of us.

      What‘s the battle in Alaska?

      And the Whiskey war isn’t marked either.

    45. corksoaker84 on

      Battles in New Zealand? Are we sure there are not the battles in Mordor?

      So basically Tasmania, Greenland and what are those islands in Norway, Jan Mayen?

      OK, because of climate just Tasmania. Good to know. Do they have the same immigration policy as the rest of Australia or…?
