List of Battles: Civil War
built 210 days ago
The problem of determining a list of approved battles and campaigns remained. The Historical Section of the Army War College was given the task to resolve this contentious issue. By April 1921, a revised and expanded list of battles and campaigns was published. There were 94 identified: 13 for the First World War; 10 for the Philippine Insurrection; three for the Spanish-American War; 13 for the Indian Wars; 25 for the Civil War; 10 for the Mexican War; six for the War of 1812; and 11 for the War of Independence. In many cases, battles and engagements previously claimed as separate events by units were grouped together into a single campaign and given a broad descriptive name and date. However, there were exceptions to this rule.
