This dimension groups battles by the broader era in which they were fought. Wikipedia notes that battles such as "the Battle of the Atlantic, Battle of Britain, and the Battle of France" all took place within "World War II," one example of how battles cluster into a shared era. Browsing by era lets a visitor compare battles fought in the same period.
