Battle Of Bordj Ménaïel
A battle is an occurrence of combat in warfare between opposing military units of any number or size. A war usually consists of multiple battles.

Generally, the word "battle" is used for such campaigns if referring to a protracted combat encounter in which either one or both of the combatants had the same methods, resources, and strategic objectives throughout the encounter. Some prominent examples of this would be the Battle of the Atlantic, Battle of Britain, and Battle of Stalingrad, all in World War II.
