And 2008 UEFA Cup Final Riots in Manchester. "Battles" in Europe post 1946 was definitely the first thing I noticed that looked odd.

There also seems to be a surprising lack of battles across the eastern steppes by the Mongols.

Definitely could use some more information of how they decided what a battle is - or the data source at least

There's very little data on the Mongols unfortunately, especially since they were nomadic and moved so much, one dot in the middle of Mongolia just says "Mongol Battles".

But the data for much of their conquests doesn't exist.

Right. It's ridiculous that the most violent and dominating empire in the history of mankind is not included here.

I thought the UK was rather well represented actually.
