BattleMoves is an initiative to share and visualize historical facts on armed conflicts on the Internet. It is a knowledge base in addition to others on the Internet, such as Wikipedia, fed by enthusiasts all over the world.We aim to include facts of all recorded history from the whole world and more: from the battle of Meggido 1457 B.C. through the siege of Fukashi 1549 A.D. to the Falkland War 1982 and the Syrian Civil War today. We'd love to record, learn and share what is not described in our history books.The added value of BattleMoves is that all battles, military campaigns and conflicts will be visualized the same way on digital maps, in timelines, in network charts, from world overview to specific locations such as Tyne Cot 1915-1918 or the Grebbelinie 1940 and all placed in the right context of time. Because BattleMoves is ‘database-driven' the siege of Alesia 54 B.C. will be represented in the same way as the siege of Haarlem in 1573 or the Liberation Route Europe 1944-1945.Our goal is to support history professionals, teachers and enthusiasts in understanding the dynamics of war and the effects of used strategies and tactics.
