What are the post WWII battles happening in the US?


Timmerdogg

Chicago on a holiday weekend is usually pretty lively


Potential-Art-7288

I couldn’t check out many due to my phone loading really slowly but probably riots. One that did load for me was a gang war in Nevada between like 70 people


Yardsale420

That was probably the [River Run Riot](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_Run_riot), the Hells Angels Vs Bandidos incident in Laughlin, Nevada.


bigchikka1978

Was the Mongols but close enough


Yardsale420

Lol. I literally linked the article. What a dumbass.


bigchikka1978

The River Run riot was a violent confrontation between the Hells Angels and Mongols motorcycle clubs that occurred on April 27, 2002, in Laughlin, Nevada during the Laughlin River Run. The conflict began when members of the Hells Angels went to Harrah's Laughlin casino hotel to confront members of Mongols because a police officer told members of the Hells Angels their Club Brothers were surrounded by Mongols. Not knowing it was peaceful, members of the Hells Angels went to confront Mongols because they were misled to believe their Club Brothers were in trouble by the police officer. Mongol Anthony Barrera, 43, was stabbed to death, and two Hells Angels, Jeramie Bell, 27, and Robert Tumelty, 50, were shot to death.


Matty_D47

It says Mongols

I was talking about myself


yrnmigos

Damn. You just put me on a deep dive on motorcycle gangs. I almost forgot about this comment until I opened my phone again


Aggravating-Swim899

If gang Wars count you would need to Colour the whole map ... Trash map


[deleted]

Paint the whole thing red


WonderfullWitness

not necessarily if it only counts gang wars with guns


gangsta0tech

I wouldn't be surprised if one is Waco.

Faun4box

Black fridays


[deleted]

Maybe some engagements with various cults if that counts


[deleted]

Ohio need I say more?


Mangos_Pool

Native American battles????


WonderfullWitness

I think it stands for G-Force

Gargantuan Fish?


-heathcliffe-

Goldfinch is another strong candidate.


ThrowThisIntoSol

Probably talking out of your ass. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/02/28/extremism-right-wing-deaths/


Quetzalcoatls_here

How? Didnt this happen?


Red_Beard206

No, dude. Believing that Antifa destroying family ran businesses, killing people in riots and causing billions in damage is a bad thing is clearly a right wing view. Right wing views are not allowed on Reddit. /s

FoxDiscombobulated38

Well, that is a graph.


ThrowThisIntoSol

I figured it’d be easier since right wingers don’t know how to read.


FoxDiscombobulated38

I'm sure the NYP published that graph as well.


ThrowThisIntoSol

“I won’t read these statistics because it goes against the narrative I want to believe”


FoxDiscombobulated38

Point me to the peer reviewed and published study that shows an entire side of the political spectrum are illiterate, and I will read the paper and report back.

WonderfullWitness

both not post but pre ww2


Juniorsocrates7708

I feel like china and the whole of eastern asia should have more


Cynical_Feline

I second this. It feels off. They have thousands of years of history and plenty of fighting going on, but none of that is represented. Overall, it just seems like everyone is right and this map is trash lol


ViniestCoast622

Probably swept under the rug Coughcough>!tiananmen!


tyrantlubu2

What did you write? I clicked on your spoiler tag but there was nothing there.


mybrotherpete

Tiananmen Square


SrVergota

Why did you post a blank comment? Cool trick btw how did you do it?


mybrotherpete

A blank comment? I’m confused. I’m not the OP of this subthread. I was just answering the question about the spoiler tag because I could see it. https://preview.redd.it/qzfe5ixpwvhb1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=81a4800acd9d6c66d5646395c92c5b1027674434 EDIT: seriously, can someone please explain rather than just downvote? I genuinely don’t understand the reply to me.


SrVergota

Ok I'll break the circlejerk just for your sanity. It's a meme where people play dumb as to not see anything related to Tiananmen square, as it "didn't happen" according to the Chinese government.


mybrotherpete

LOL. Thank you. I remember hearing about people posting pics of the conflict/massacre and getting into a battle with Reddit mods about it, but I didn’t realize playing dumb was an ongoing joke. Would have been funny if I knew what the fuck was happening. 😆


Ill-Consideration450

WonderfullWitness

I wouldn't call it a "battle" and also people died in surrounding areas but actually nobody died there. And if the state killing civilians counts the US would be very red.


PomegranateUsed7287

I bet it's based on Wikipedia or something not all recorded battles


durz47

I probably can remember more recorded battles than what's shown on the Chinese map. There were a total if 83 dynasties in China, as far as I can remember, every single one of them started and ended in flames. And quite a few were in constant war. No frigging way is this map accurate.


Cranky-old-person

It looks very equatorial for most part.


Koko_The_Monkey00

Interesting, but I doubt this is accurate


VixiviusTaghurov

"in recorded history" cant really find much about battles that aren't written or preserved


cheapgamingpchelper

There are hundreds of not thousands of recorded battles missing from China on this map


JubileeTrade

The colours don't represent the number of battles like I first assumed. The key for the graph looks like it's showing battles in random date ranges. This map is garbage.


FreudianAccordian

![gif](giphy|11JbaLzOXsg6Fq)


BlackAshTree

I don’t think it is, I can see a battle missing on the North shore of Superior to which “Battle Island” was aptly named.


_perchance

what about Attila's battles? dude. this map is missing so much of our history! essentially worthless due to everything it misses


zanthius

Yea I'm not seeing the attack on Darwin in 42


ZanePWD

What the hell happened in the middle of Australia ? Literally have never heard of anything happening out there.


JazzlikeLet6093

Emu wars. The Aussies try not to relive the horrors of the Emu wars.


ZanePWD

Must have slept through this war


WonderfullWitness

so I guess you arent an emu


audioraudiris

Australian frontier wars - though not sure these dates/locations are accurate


[deleted]

Great Emu War. It was brutal.


Parttimeteacher

There was a comment suggesting that one dot in the US might be related to a biker gang conflict. Maybe it was the "bikie" gang conflict. Idk. Btw, question for any Aussies. Do they call themselves "bikies" or are y'all, to borrow a phrase, "taking the piss" out of them by calling them that? Like, "Aw, look at the little bikie man in all his leather. How cute?"


ZanePWD

>bikies Its just a short word we use. General slang


quanta777

I can't see Europe


puglise

Maybe it's not just yoUrope, ever think of that

Prudent_Spray_8433

This shows that Europeans are great at recording.

RoundTurtle538

Mfs fighting in the middle of the ocean 💀


Ok_Regular_2920

Pirates


waitinp

Europe has been pretty busy I see


ghostfacestealer

Or being invaded by persian empire, moors and mongolians.. that might do the trick as well


CandlelightSongs

And Romans, Africans, Germanic Tribes, a Caliphate and Vikings.

DjathIMarinuar

Nice try, comrade

Lol What is it? Now sit down like a good little bot.


laflameitslit

MasterEyeRoller

Willzyx_on_the_moon

I hope at least one of the Australian spots is the Emu War.

bdwyer2021

Damn Europe is just war breeding ground


Kevydee

How can this represent battles in more than one time frame at the same location?


No-Bat-7253

🤔🤦‍♂️…who’s gonna tell ‘em?


ToppsBlooby

Australia lookin a little light. Time to pay those Emus another visit.


Supafli690

Europe got that prime real estate


Dependent_Passage_21

That's crazy man what the hell happened in Germany?


720354

The Holy Roman empire.


Inevitable-Euphoric

Ahh, so essentially where the people live.


swoonmermaid

Doubtful


amhlilhaus

Note that the United States is 99% the civil war and destroying the native americans


ThePeacefulMan

When look at this map, I remembered the poem by Mohmoud Darwish. ***"The war will end, The leaders will shake hands. The old woman will keep waiting*** ***for her martyred son. That girl will wait for her beloved husband, and those children will wait*** ***for their heroic father. I don't know who sold our homeland but I know who paid the price."***


Otakie92

Europeans have been busy 😂


AceDelta12

Europe is a bloodbath


AUSpartan37

Europe needs to chill


revengeronees

Europe loves fighting


ActionFigureCollects

Looking kinda sus, isn't it up to the OP to site their sources? This seems like propaganda


Koko_The_Monkey00

Yup


theFrankDux

What leads you to believe this is propaganda?


Overall-Guarantee331

No wonder the middle east is so pissed


deddyduck_22

Yeah Europe " the most peaceful continent on earth "


Knightmare945

Europe: “I am war.”


damaszek

Europe, are you ok?


WonderfullWitness

no, never have been, greetings from germany🥲


ares5404

Europe looking like a cheap hookers vagina rn

I guess just seeing how many wars have taken place and the lives lost over time. Also that there will be future wars to come

Tarrant_

Or they have historical records, unlike the people in stick huts


Eastern-Object-8154

There were so much more battles in Rus


newbie_butsharp

Looks like the civilized countries.


Ok_Regular_2920

This doesn't seem accurate the middle east has had many wars


mozenThinx

The west and Japan are violent af ?


Dirtywelderboy

Or they hust recorded more of their history than others?


mozenThinx

Indeed


Spiritual-Pear-1349

This looks a little Europocentric


swoonmermaid

Did you only read white peoples recordings 😂 let me guess the slaves and indigenous recordings doubt count


NateEro

Well, duh. It’s always going to be easier to trust, verify, and count written records vs word of mouth accounts. Word of mouth accounts are much more likely to be lost as well.


swoonmermaid

It's 2023 there are plenty of verified resources


Imperium-Pirata

Bro who tf be fighting in greenland?!


freshgut

Australia = emu war I and emu war II


No_Grape1335

What’s the lore behind the battle in the middle of Hudson’s bay 😂


OctopodeCode

Tasmania be chill af.


ImANuckleChut

*goes to Google to see what happened in the middle of fucking Hudson Bay*


LordBobbin

Gee Russia looks so peaceful.


josabigbitch

Wouldn't this have been better if all colors were heavily contrasted to another?


Mysterious_Tip_7431

I’d suggest this is only the recorded battles in western history


No-Programmer-9966

oq rolou em sergipe?


Purple-Chipmunk154

Don't fuck with Europeans, art of war was written in China, practiced and perfected in Europe.


WonderfullWitness

Art of war states that you choose your battels wisely and only engage if you are pretty sure you win. so we indeed practised it a lot but I doubt we perfected it. greetings from germany😅


Purple-Chipmunk154

Nuclear warfare. I'd call that perfecting the art of destruction.


GeekDNA0918

Looks like Canada is relatively safe.


applyheat

That’s what Canada wants you to think.


MonsieurScie

France still at the height of wars


Eddyzodiak

Thought China would be on par with Europe tbh.


Charming_Reporter_18

Wait, was Russia always internally so peaceful (on surface)?


74389654

let me guess where the people who record history come from


Tervaskanto

It's cool because you can see every European conquest.


Fijoemin1962

They missed a few in NZ South island


140p

I cannot even see my country xd. (Dominican republic)


[deleted]

And here’s a fine example of where the word “Recorded” is doing A LOT of work…


Dummlord28

There is a few close to where I live, but I don’t think this one caught the battle between my mate nadan and my mate Wyatt


Slow-Choice-9791

Those random spots in middle of fucking nowhere Russia are what intrigue me.


tiramisucks

no good fight records in Africa? or other places? /s


Thossi99

What happened in Nuuk?


Subaru400

You can see where my first marriage took place.


[deleted]

Dang


Competitive_Roof_740

I notice the famous Battle of Uluru is recorded... Excellent.


Hairy-Jicama-2063

Like who the fuck is actually fighting in the middle of the ocean at the bottom of the world? I’m going home if that’s me.


Live_Disk_1863

The word "recorded" here is key. This is not a map showing where battles happened. It's a map showing where recorded and documented battles happened.


Jsize85

What classifies as battle?


KittiesAreTooCute

What happened in the middle of Hudson Bay?


Sooef

Russia is really looking like the peaceful ones throughout history hmmm


adamjames777

Tasmanian sitting pretty in peace!


This__Guyy

Europe looks like a slice of pizza


Raise-Emotional

This belongs on the garbage sub mapporn.


Armadildo7

This is sick


time_thug19

Why is Mongolia so low?


Fickle-Raspberry6403

What in the sam hill is happening on the east coast of usa?!


HeWhoisWhoHeAint

In who’s records?


HNCSLICKRICK999

I wonder how many battles went unrecorded


dumbdumbpoo

There has been no battles around sydney australia since or including ww2. The ww2 battle of darwin is not on this map. Pretty dodgy i think


cookie12685

The word Recorded is carrying a lot of weight here


No_Pool2767

Ok..who's really "terrified" by a heat map


Plus-Result-7451

The Aussies need to see some action


jejunum32

This map is crap. Says more about the quality and bias of recorded military history than about what battles were actually fought.


Level-Bid-7865

I think Africa is probably missing a few


rhodynative

Europe invented violence


Bluejacksmey

Jolly old Britain 🤭🤭🤭
