Some prominent examples of this would be the Battle of the Atlantic, Battle of Britain, and Battle of Stalingrad, all in World War II.

The was located in the northwestern part of Honshu, the main island of Japan. It lay along the Sea of Japan within the Chūbu region, which it is currently a part of. It is almost equivalent to Koshi Province and Hokurikudō area in pre-modern Japan.

Siege Of Ichijōdani Castle
The 1573 was undertaken by Oda Nobunaga, a powerful warlord (''daimyō'') of Japan's Sengoku period.
