AI overview
A battle is a combat encounter between opposing military forces that is clearly defined by its duration, location, and the troops involved, and wars typically consist of multiple battles. Battles matter because they are the distinct military engagements that shape the outcome of wars and determine territorial, political, and strategic results.
