Has there been a war in the area where you're standing right now?

It was burnt down by the Russians in the 16th and 18th centuries.

The most important is the one in the very beginning of the 15th Century, in which an indepedent city state fought the Most Serene Republic of Venice, and lost. The signoria and family ended for good in 1435.

Venice had the Duchy of Milan and the Margravate of Mantua as allies, the local Signoria had the Republic of Florence and the Margravate of Este-Ferrara on its side.

Before that, the city and family fought left and right against emperors, dukes and whatnot.

The area I live in was once part of the federation of tribes known as the Brigantes, then it was taken by the Romans, then when they left it was part of the Welsh kingdom of Rheged, then it was part of Anglo-Saxcon Mercia, then it was part of the Norse Danelaw, then conquered by the Anglo-Saxon Kingdom of England, then conquered by the Normans, then sided with the King during the Civil War and was conquered by the Parliamentarians, the bombed by the Nazis.

So yes.

North West England?

The fair city of Liverpool, Anus of the North.

>Skåne
Like fifteen of them.

roman empire fucked it up
in medieval times most likely but not proven
and during operation market garden halve my village was destroyed and the americans and candians landed 100 meter away from my house

My town was unsuccesfuly besieged in 15th century and burned down completely just few years later by another army ;_;

Fucking Bommen Berend

This asshole razed my town on his way to Atlanta.

I live the centre of the once fortified city of Ahmedabad, so very good chance Rajputs, Mughals, Marathas and Brits fought here.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Fulford

Guess where i live

I mean I guess in my state you have the Texas Revolution, the Mexican War, and the American Civil War, but there weren't any battles near me that I'm aware of. I'm sure some injuns got fucked up around here at some point.

Nope, very close though. I'm sure my town garrisoned troops or had soldiers go through it on the way to battle but google says there was never a battle on Belmont, MA.

Nope, unless you count tribal skirmishes and settler/native conflicts as battles.

Sounds familiar, some place in Eastern Europe I take it?

Yeah first the frenchy cunts burned down the village and the Blücher raped them here

Varus pls

A war? Or a battle? Not really. But some semi-interesting things happened very near my home during WW2 and the troubles.

>WW2
>British pilot crash lands is plane in a lough about 2 minutes walk from my house
>Pilot crawled out onto shore, made his way to a farmers house, slipped out of consciousness
>Couldn't remember the crash, his fighting, nor who the fuck he was fighting
>Irish farmer decided not to tell him until he was healed up and well rested
>Few weeks later he sat him down and told him that we were winning the war
>Plane was only very recently discovered and recovered

>Troubles
>Some IRA smugglers were on the run from the brits
>There are ruins of an old castle; by ruins I mean one old crumbled ass corner wall
>IRA get behind it and shoot at any brits approaching
>Same lough the plane crashed in to their back
>Stay there for a day and a night before a farmer kills one with his rifle and the other two escape

>Troubles again
>UVF having a meeting in an orange hall up the road from where I live now
>One of them fell off the stage in the building and broke his leg
>They blamed it on IRA kneecappers
>That Orange hall is set on fire and extinghuished 11 times over the course of the conflict
>At one point, the IRA themselves put out a fire which was getting out of control and left a message saying "fuck all else to burn around here, see you next month"

Russia's Nizhniy Novgorod here. None of the world wars got here, and I'm not sure about Mongols, but the people's resistance to polish occupants started here, so yeah, some blood was shed.,

Small battle in the area.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Collierville

Forrest was also known to launch raids around the area also.

My town survived a long siege a few centuries ago and it's celebrated every 3rd october. During the World wars it was mostly kept intact so amongst all the rebuilt towns in the country, the one I live in is one of the few that still stand since 500 years or so.

Oh boy, if you knew how many. Frontier of Europe, ransacked by trillions of armies a hundred times over. Can you guess where I am?

Ukraine?

Maybe Indians fought over it at some point but that would be it.

t. Pacific northwest american

That Mad Anthony Wayne guy hacked up a few injuns nearby.

Sorry, you missed! Spain.

Same here. Lancaster represent.

They killed a German anti-king, better known as:

15 miles from here

can you explain this image to me please

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Bucharest

>"Fuck all else to burn around here, see you next month"

And this is why most people love you guys.

Initially, I wasn't going to post, but think I must be the only person who DOESN'T have a recorded war at his feet.

>There might've been some Aboriginals that threw some spears at each other nearby, but it's doubtful that it was here due to the positioning of local tribes

Chile is a very divided country in political matters, the right wing is very procapitalism and the left wing is very "communist" (not so much given that the class struggle in here wasn't a revolution per se, the comrade-president tried to achieve socialist objectives trought votes). Whatever the point is that our generation still is touched by our coup d'etat that took place 40 years ago and put a dictatorship some years and I'm not staying on the point.
That pic depicts a leftist young man trought predujice: drinks a lot of cheap beer, dreams with Cuba "the socialist paradise", has a picture of Allende the comrade-president, a picture of Camila Vallejo (a qt 3.14 that became well known the last years movilizations for being a member of JJCC (comunist youth) and now of the party itself), a picture of Anita Tijoux (a female rapper with indigenous blood), the indigenous pride flag (that one with all those squares) and some tires to burn.
There's also this right wing version.

Several battles of the American Civil War were fought here.

Another Balkanbro?

Oh and Victor Jara was a lefist musician that was killed during the dictatorship. The myth says that they cut his hands and gave him his guitar to play.
Here's a picture of the former president (right wing) with some kids disguised as the two figures of each wing (lol).

>fuck all else to burn around here, see you next month

>mfw European
Yeah like the past ten thousand years

Lille here:

Besieged in both WWI and WWII
Besieged during the revolutionnary wars
Besieged by the dutch, the austrians, the french, the vikings and even the fucking magyars.

At one point northern france can be called "war central"

The Spanish-American War

No, but Andrew Jackson killed a bunch of indians a few miles south of where I live

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Horseshoe_Bend_(1814)

Northern Ireland? Of course.

Close. Frontier in a historical, not a modern geographical sense.

Obviously, pretty sure that's the case literally everywhere except boring New World.

American Revolution started like 15 minutes from here

>Hannibal Barca most likely passed through here and had to fight a local celtic tribe

>Emperor Augustus ethnically cleansed this place from celts and founded my city (thanks)

>Napoleon invaded Italy through here

And that's it, few but important events.

Oh yeah, there was the whole "world war 2, partisan republic and occupation by france" thing, I forgot about minor event.

Invaded by Vikings fuck knows how many times, and where Hardrada originally won, until BTFO a bit later.

Gde tacno?

Aside from some US-Seminole violence in the early 19th century, nope

Sofia

Civil War, Revolution skirmishes. Nothing much desu.

>Alsace
yeah kinda

I'm curious, do you consider yourself French or German?

a german french

i fougt this very informative. thanks you

Yes, actually

>Wolverhampton is recorded as being the site of a decisive battle between the unified Mercian Angles and West Saxons against the raiding Danes in 910, although sources are unclear as to whether the battle itself took place in Wednesfield or Tettenhall.[12] The Mercians and West Saxons claimed a decisive victory and the field of Woden is recognised by numerous place names in Wednesfield

> I'm not sure about Mongols
They and Tatars burned the city several times, there is a reason the Kremlin was build.

Charlies dug 20 km long underground tunnel. Shoot american now and then

Good times

Maybe hundreds of years ago some Native Americans fought here or some shit.

>tfw poland

Get wrecked ya spics

Battles during the IRISH war of independence and IRISH civil war

>1860s
>tension between Native Americans and Whites grows over native women being seduced and stray cattle being taken by natives
>Whites sneak onto native land and massacre a ton

>1880s
>a gunfight between Chinese Tongs kills a child and a city council member

>1990s
>for the first time in US history active-duty troops are used to combat marijuana grows and military force is used against own citizens in a drug operation
>troops involved are drawn from the same US Army unit that conducted the Invasion of Panama

I guess kinda if you count "gang wars" and "drug wars"?

There was one in my county but kinda far from where I am. It went poorly.

Oh, man. This actually isn't even in my county but a neighboring one.

Nope, Indians didn't give a fight when the Spanish came and conquered this place.

No, but a few of our residents were somewhat notable generals.

>Chicago
Maybe all the gang warfare?

>living in Ghent
kek yes a lot of shit happened here

Actually, as far as American Revolutionary significance goes, my county is probably best known for Washington's Headquarters in Newburgh, the Newburgh Letter(s) and resulting Newburgh Conspiracy. None of these places or events saw or caused battles but it's still p darn significant.

Also West Point.

Netherlands?

Balkan?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Jersey

My place had a crazy guy that impaled his enemies.

Some tiny indian war
Outskirts of Minneapolis btw

Aye, I actually live in a once besieged city, I drive by a former battlefield and HQ for both Union and confederate armies everyday, and when I visit relatives I drive by two battle fields on my way to see them.

boudica led a revolt against the romans and it was bombed heavily during the blitz

>Celts and german tribes probably smashing each others heads in for centuries
>Some fortified Celtic hill settlements around that have probably been under siege by the romans
>Limes wall was build a few km west (I'm on the barbarian side)

not much known about what happened here until Karl the great

some clashes in the middle ages
>Heinrich V destroyed a small castle
>Same castle was destroyed in the 30 years war again
>French occupied the city in the Napoleonic war and got kicked out by the Austrians

>Most of the city was destroyed by allied air raids in 44

St. Augustine, FL here. The Brits, Spaniards, and Americans have all held claim to this city at one point or another, and many battles were fought in and around it, but as far as all-out war goes, I don't think so.

Faggot tripfag hungay cigany

Civil war raids mostly.
