Battles fought from 1945 onward: the closing battles of the Second World War fought in 1945 itself, the Battle of Berlin, the Battle of Okinawa and the Battle of Iwo Jima, through the Cold War and post-colonial Battle of Inchon and Battle of Dien Bien Phu this atlas currently carries. Belongs here: an engagement fought in 1945 or later. Does not belong here: an engagement fought before 1945 even where the surrounding war ran past that year, which belongs to Modern instead, since placement follows the battle own event-year.
