Military History

Roles: combatant, battle, strategy, outcome, cost

Documented military events, campaigns, and strategic doctrines drawn from the historical record. Distinct from the war frame (which covers war as an abstract source domain) and from mythology (which covers sacred narratives). Military-history entries are grounded in specific battles, commanders, and outcomes that became proverbial through historiography, not myth.
