Welcome to Britishbattles.com the site that gives you the battles fought by Britain and its Empire forces from the 18th Century to the end of the 19th Century, illustrated and mapped.

Click on the battle you wish to view in the left margin list. The battles are listed chronologically by war.

We are constantly adding new battles to the collection.

We have on our site a long list of battles with descriptions of what took place and other essential information. Most of our pages have a map of the battle designed and drafted by our own Military Cartographer, John Fawkes.

While our battles are primarily British battles there are many other battles of interest including all the important battles fought by Frederick the Great, King of Prussia in the Mid-18th Century.

All the battles are extensively illustrated with pictures both well-known and more obscure. Prints of many of these pictures can be purchased through the site as can the maps.

Our most recent additions are:

• The British capture of Manila in 1762
• The North-West Frontier of India in the late 19th Century (Black Mountain 1888, Black Mountain 1891, Waziristan 1904, Relief of Chitral 1895, Malakand 1897)
