Yes, a small battle/skirmish during the English Civil War happened in my town.
No, not really. Not in WWII, and we weren't part of WWI.

Yeah, there was. Damn germans can try coming again.
>>1144521
Germany?
>>1144499
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.
>>1144499
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.

>>1144499

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.

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.

Period of things I don't remember, with conflicts that likely included those lands
>WW2 - Germans attempting at destroying the bridge, so Soviets can't use it. (Don't remember how it went)
At least three major conflicts and probably some smaller ones.
The relatively small village in Gelderland where I live once boasted three castles. It's not surprising, we border another Dutch province, Utrecht. Utrecht and Gelderland were often at odds during the medieval period.
Then there was that whole thing where the Duke of Gelderland tried to create his own empire and got into conflict with Burgundie.
And to round off the trio of major conflicts,: WW2. Not far from where I live the allied forces parachuted in and started their march on Arnhem bridge.
Okinawa, so ya
I'm in Bristol so nothing apart from the English Civil War, famous battle where the Royalists stormed the city and lost loads of men, bristol was a rich port though, so probably worth it.
I live in a town that was founded as a fort to protect the 13 colonies against the French navy
they attacked it with native mercenaries
we killed them
this was later brownwashed into the greatest genocide in history before the Holocaust

>>1144499
A small skirmish between Royalist and Parliamentarian forces literally 50m away from my house. Nothing major, although the fight did give the local stream its name, Stainbeck, because the blood from the battle ''stained the beck red''.

I'm in central Germany, so yes. I'm not from the area I now live in, so I don't know a lot... but there was shit thrown down in a big (local) way in the 11the century (Saxon Rebellion and later Saxon Revolt).
That's probably the first time this area was 'important' in a military sense. There were other intrigues over the centuries, but nothing super famous. WW2 of course. This area was bombed, but not too heavily. By the time American soldiers showed up, it was obvious the war was already lost, so there was no great resistance (except perhaps Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, which is not so far away. There were death marches and killings right up till the end).
Another tidbit of trivia... you've probably heard of Checkpoint Charlie in Berlin. Well, Checkpoint Alpha (the highway border crossing from West Germany into East Germany) is also nearby here. In the event of a WW3, this area probably wouldn't be worth a nuke, but would've been flattened by soviet tanks in the first days anyway. There were lots of British/American meatshield soldiers here up until the 1980s.

"The Battle of Philippi formed part of the Western Virginia Campaign of the American Civil War, and was fought in and around Philippi, Virginia (now West Virginia) on June 3, 1861. A Union victory, it was the first organized land action of the war, though generally viewed as a skirmish rather than a battle. However, the Northern press celebrated it as an epic triumph, and this encouraged Congress to call for the drive on Richmond that ended with the Union defeat at First Bull Run in July. It brought overnight fame to Maj. Gen. George B. McClellan, and was notable for the first battlefield amputations. It also encouraged the western counties of Virginia to form their own Union state.
As the largely-untrained Confederates had fled the battlefield with barely any resistance, the Union jokingly referred to the engagement as the Philippi Races."
