Dataset status

A working research release, not a finished chronology

The map currently contains 6 campaign records and 22 event records. Every historical claim is marked review-required pending final owner approval; unreviewed strength figures and exact battlefield geometry are intentionally withheld.

Physical geography is derived from Natural Earth. Present-day locality centroids are from OpenStreetMap and never stand in for historical borders or precise troop positions.
