The history of mankind consists of short periods of the world, as well as bloody battles and great victories, which have had an impact on the further course of development of all human civilization. On this list are the great battles of antiquity and the famous battles of not so long ago times that made our world the way we know it.

War is a risky venture in which the fate of civilization is at stake. The great warriors of antiquity did not have textbooks on strategy and tactics; there were no modern weapons. They shed their blood, accomplished feats, and remained forever in human legends.
