Synopsis

Since ancient times, groups of people have been invading one another's territory and conquering each other. In addition to death and destruction, these events have brought many important changes in the societies and cultures both of the winners and the losers. This illustrated encyclopedia describes over 200 invasions, conquests, battles, and occupations (for example, the Israelite invasion of Canaan, the Norman conquests, the Nazi invasion of Poland, and Iraq's invasion of Kuwait); events (for example, World War II); countries and regions (for example, Egypt and Normandy); and individuals (for examples, Alexander the Great, Hitler, and Genghis Khan).
