Battles fought from 1775 through 1944, before this atlas own Contemporary split begins: the Battles of Saratoga, the Battle of Waterloo, the Battle of Gettysburg, the Battle of the Somme and the Battle of Stalingrad. Belongs here: an engagement fought by a mass national or federal army from the American Revolutionary War through 1944. Does not belong here: an engagement fought in 1945 or later, which belongs to Contemporary instead, and the war it was fought inside, which is a war entity this battle carries a fought-in edge to.

Boundaries: Ancient below 500 CE, Medieval 500 to 1499, Early Modern 1500 to 1774, Modern 1775 onward (the 1775 cutover, not the round year 1800, matches the American Revolutionary War already being tagged Modern in the live data).
War and Military DataBrief, structure wave 0902 paragraph, Modern-ends-1944 sentence
Every Modern subcategory prose across all six 0831 spine types now ends at 1944, narrowed from the earlier open-ended from 1775 onward wording, for consistency with the boundary this and the 0901 wave both use.
