Welcome to HistoryOfWar.org. We aim to make our site your first call for information on any aspect of military history. If we don't have what you want,then contact us via our military history discussion forum or contact us directly
Currently we have 2,356 articles, 667 pictures, 314 maps, 139 unit histories and over 1,725,200 words in original articles. We don't just cover the best known conflicts, although we do have good coverage of the First and Second World Wars, the Napoleonic Wars and now the American Civil War.
We now open a new section of the site, a day-by-day history of the Second World War, covering the 2,214 days of the war from the German invasion of Poland on 1 September 1939 to the Japanese surrender in Hong Kong on 16 September 1945 (two weeks after the surrender in Tokyo Bay), and currently containing 5,242 individual facts.

Check our recent articles page (last update 8 May 2008) to see what we are doing at the moment. New articles will also be announced on our Blog, our forum and our mailing list (sign up using the form at the base of this page).
In 2006 we ran our first two themed months, on the Napoleonic Wars, where we more than doubled our coverage of the period, and more recently on the American Civil War. Our first theme of 2007 was on War in the Air. The first day of the War in the Air theme also saw us post our 1,000th article, on the Supermarine Spitfire Mk XII
We have now added out 2,000th article, a look at the German battlecruiser Von der Tann, part of our recent focus on the First World War.
Our newest venture is into historical documents. We are starting with a selection of documents about the Napoleonic Wars and the American Civil War, and will soon be adding documents relating to the Second World War. We already have over 610,000 words of documentary sources related to the history of war and will be expanding this section rapidly. We have also added a section of reviews of new book and DVD releases (last update 7 May 2008).
