War

War gathers events where power is tested by force: ancient formations, walled cities, naval choke points, crusading armies, gunpowder sieges, trench systems, amphibious landings, and occupation zones.

Ancient War, Sieges, and Modern War connect Salamis, Lisbon, Constantinople, Waterloo, Gallipoli, Normandy, Berlin, and other places where tactics and state ambition collided.

The historical work is in the aftermath as much as the clash itself: treaty terms, displaced civilians, legitimacy, propaganda, technological change, memorial culture, and the institutions built to prevent or prepare for another war.
