At least two claimants contest Harold’s ascension to the throne and actual begin offensive operations to seize it. Viking King Harald Hardrada of Norway lands an army near the Humber River in the northeast in September 1066, defeating two English earls at the Battle of Fulford Gate. Harold quickly marches north, surprising the Norwegian army and killing Harald at the Battle of Stamford Bridge. Two days after this battle, Duke William of Normandy lands unopposed near Hastings in the south and secures a base in the peninsula. Harold swiftly marches south with his army to confront William and sends his fleet into the English Channel to cut the Norman army off from any reinforcement.

Alexander the Great’s ambition drags himself and his army deeper into India after conquering the Persian Empire; now a vast array of powerful kingdoms stand before him. One such kingdom ruled by King Taxiles equips the Macedonians with equipment and supplies in exchange for help in subduing his rival, Pauravan King Porus. The Pauravan Empire fields an army that is more than a match for the Macedonians.. . December [?], 218 BC. Strategic Context. In 218 BC, Hannibal Barca negates Roman control of the seas by leading the Carthaginians through Spain to attack Roman territory, igniting the Second Punic War. Hannibal defeats one Roman army under Scipio Africanus at the Ticinus River while another under Tiberius Sempronius departs Sicily to combine forces. The combined Roman army camps opposite the Carthaginian army across the Trebia River. Hannibal sends his cavalry to provoke the impulsive Sempronius and succeeds: the Romans wade across the frigid Trebia River to attack while the Carthaginians warm by the fire.. . [?], 317 BC. Strategic Context. As Alexander the Great lays dying in 323 BC, he is asked who should inherit his vast empire to which he reportedly answers: “the strongest.” Alexander’s chief of staff, Perdiccas, assumes the role of interim ruler as he attempts to hold the Macedonian Empire together until Alexander’s young son is old enough to rule. This arrangement quickly falls apart when many of Alexander’s former generals, now satraps (the Diadochi) rebel, including Craterus, Antipater, Ptolemy, and Antigonus. Perdiccas orders Eumenes, chancellor and also one of Alexander’s former generals, to guard Anatolia while he attacks Ptolemy in Egypt. Eumenes defeats and kills Craterus at the Battle of Hellespont in 321 BC, but Perdiccas is assassinated by Peithon, Seleucus, and Antipater. The Diadochi declare Eumenes an outlaw and send Antigonus to destroy him and the regime’s remaining power base. Eumenes retreats to Mesopotamia, hoping to draw on the resources and support of satraps in the east still loyal to the regime.. . August 15-20, 636. Strategic Context. Beginning in 622, Emperor Heraclius revitalizes the Byzantine Empire and conquers the Fertile Crescent of modern Palestine, Iran, Iraq and Syria from the empire’s longtime foes, the Sassanids. A decade later, Khald ibn al-Walid leads a dramatic invasion of these newly conquered lands. He destroys a Byzantine army and captures Damascus in 635 before another army can be hastily assembled, led by Vahan, to chase the Rashiduns out. Now the Rashiduns make their stand south of Damascus with their backs to the Arabian Desert; they are united by purpose and know that this could be their final chance to break out of the desert.. .

After five years of war, the Allies gain a decisive advantage in June 1944 over Nazi Germany in World War II. Anglo-American forces land in northwestern France to open the Western Front, liberating Paris in August and capturing the first German city (Aachen) in November. On the Eastern Front, Soviet forces invade Belorussia, virtually destroying a German army group by August, and invade the Baltics and Balkans soon after. By August 1944, even Adolf Hitler recognizes that Germany cannot win a military victory. Instead, he seeks to win a decisive battlefield victory only to win a political victory by forcing one of his Allied enemies to make a separate peace with Germany. Hitler resolves to use his last mobile reserve in the West to break through the thinly-held American line in the Ardennes and capture Antwerp, splitting British-Canadian 21.

In 1618, war breaks out when Ferdinand II, King of Bohemia, attempts to enforce strict Catholicism on Bohemia, a state of the Holy Roman Empire. What begins as a localized conflict between Protestants and Catholics within Bohemia, steadily widens into full-scale warfare across Europe as Ferdinand ascends to Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. By 1629, the Protestant forces of France, Holland, the Palatinate, and Hesse-Kessel confront the Catholic-Imperialist forces of the Holy Roman Empire, Spain, Bavaria and Savoy. In 1630, Gustavus Adolphus, King of Sweden, enters the war on the side of the Protestants and lands in northern Germany. The Imperialist commander in the region, Johann Tscerclaes, Count of Tilly, invades Saxony as a precautionary measure to ensure it does not ally with the Swedes. However, Johann Georg, Elector of Saxony, fears the Swedes more and quickly combines forces with them. The combined Swedish-Saxon army confronts the Imperialist army near Breitenfeld..
