Some battles in history that we have not forgotten even today.

The battle of history is waged every day as right and wrong are weighed and measured. We start our wars, we build our monuments and memorials, we elect our leaders and then they fall. People will even go to great lengths to build living statues in their honor just so that they can have thier work immortalized with them. But sometimes these statues will be destroyed by those who thought they would last forever. I personally find it quite fascinating that people will chose to destroy them due to some controversy regarding the statue's creator or to even more trivial reasons such as overgrowth.

First Battle of Panipat

The First Battle of Panipat was fought between the forces of the Delhi Sultanate and the Panipat Sultanate on 21 April 1526. The battle took place on a plain near present-day Panipat, Haryana, India. It was fought between the army of Sher Shah Suri, who was backed by Mughals and an army led by Ibrahim Lodi, who were backed by Delhi Sultanate.

The Timurid Empire had already disintegrated into smaller states by 1525, when Sher Shah Suri emerged as the most powerful ruler in northern India. His one-year-old son Firuz Shah Tughluq had been installed as governor of Gujarat, but he died in 1524 and Sher Shah became regent for his infant grandson Humayun. He had already defeated Humayun's father Kamran Mirza at the First Battle of Panipat in 1521 and forced him to flee to Persia (modern Iran), where he was later murdered.

Ibrahim Lodi was another Timurid prince who had fled his homeland following its conquest by Babur's forces in 1494–95. He established himself as independent ruler at Delhi after fleeing westward along with other Timurid princes

Second Battle of Fallujah

The Second Battle of Fallujah was the largest military operation in Iraq since the 1991 Persian Gulf War. It began with a major assault by U.S.-led coalition forces on the city of Fallujah in late April 2004, as part of a campaign against al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI), which seized control over much of the city and surrounding areas during the uprising against then-U.S.-installed Prime Minister Iyad Allawi in 2003–2004. The battle peaked with an estimated 30,000–40,000 Iraqi troops facing 2,000 U.S., British and Polish troops who were deployed to recover control of the city from AQI fighters.

The offensive was mounted by U.S.-led coalition forces under the command of General David Petraeus and Admiral William Fallon, but it was supported by Iraqi government troops under General Abdul Qadr Nuri.

The operation resulted in significant damage to Fallujah's infrastructure and economy as well as loss of life among civilians,[3] but it failed to capture or kill any senior leaders of AQI or other militant groups operating in the area.

Battle of Shiloh

In 1862, the battle of Shiloh was fought along the banks of the Tennessee River near the present-day town of Shiloh, Tennessee. The battle was one of the bloodiest in United States history and arguably one of the most important battles in U.S. military history.

The fighting began on April 6 when a Confederate force under General Albert Sidney Johnston attacked a Union camp at Pittsburg Landing and forced them to retreat into a defensive position behind nearby hills. This forced Grant's troops to abandon their siege lines and retreat back across the river into more defensible terrain.

Confederate General Beauregard ordered General P.G.T. Beauregard to move his troops from Corinth, Mississippi, north up the Tennessee River toward Pittsburg Landing where Grant had established his supply base for his army

Beauregard sent about 10,000 troops to Pittsburg Landing under command of General Hardee who arrived on April 6th only to discover that Grant's army had already retreated back across the river into a defensive position around Shiloh Church

On April 7th Grant tried another crossing but found that Beauregard had placed four heavy guns on high ground overlooking his crossing
