About War by War

War by War documents 120 major wars, from the Trojan War to conflicts current as of September 2026. Each dossier covers the causes, the course, and the cost of a war — with every figure attributed to its source and every gap labeled as what it is.

How to read this site

• Validation tiers. Tier 1 means multi-source scholarly consensus; Tier 2 means a solid evidence base with real disputes; Tier 3 means the subject itself is contested (legendary or single-tradition). The tier is shown on every dossier.
• UNVERIFIED. Where a figure or claim cannot be verified, it is marked UNVERIFIED — not smoothed over, not silently dropped.
• Images and context. Every dossier has its own cover. Earlier scenes are labelled historical reconstructions; documentary photographs carry source credits, dates and context.
