World Battleground, since 1000 CE

This animation shows all important battles that took place over the last ten centuries. The sizes of the explosions and labels are proportional to the number of casualties. The music is “Ride Of The Valkyries” by Richard Wagner. The data comes from the wikipedia article, List of Battles.
Most of the activity seems to happen in Europe, this is because the english wikipedia was used. In a future release of this video I will merge wikipedias in different languages to solve this bias.

An Israeli Merkava tanks maneuver rolls during a drill in the Israeli annexed Golan Heights near the border with Syria on May 6, 2013. UN chief Ban Ki-moon has appealed for restraint after Israeli air strikes on targets near Damascus which prompted Syrian officials to warn ‘missiles are ready’ to retaliate.

Just some IDF and a pretty Israeli girl.
