| A '''Battle''' is a specific instance of combat in warfare between two or more parties or army's wherein each group will seek to defeat the others in different forms of combat. Battles are most often fought during [[war]]s or military campaigns and can usually be well defined in time, space and action. Wars and military campaigns are guided by strategy whereas battles are the stage on which tactics are employed. German strategist Carl von Clausewitz stated that "the employment of battles to gain the end of war" was the essence of strategy.
