I went through Wikipedia’s list of battles to find the 7 best-named battles ever. So now you don’t have to go through the list yourself. I’m a time saver, let me tell you.
7. Battle of the 300 Champions
This one is a must for any list. Not only did those 300 bad asses hold off the evil Persians, but they… ummm… well, they held off the evil Persians.
6. Battle of the Forum Gallorum
Now I don’t know a damn thing about this battle, but with a name that rhymes, what’s not to love, besides the dying and injuries?
5. Battle of Ogdensburg
Ogdensburg is a town or city in upstate New York. Ogdensburg. Who’d have thunk it would be worth fighting over? I would have expected North Haverbrook, but Ogdensburg?
4. Battle of the Lone Pine
Only one person died in this battle. Doc. When the Libyans came in their VW van and embedded many many bullets into his chest. Fortunately, Marty was able to escape to 1955.
3. Battle of the Bulge
A battle named after the struggle between human and waistline. Tasty.
2. Battle of Pork Chop Hill
Any battle named after meat is a-ok in my book.
1. Battle of Bloody Ridge
I guess this one pretty much says it all. I’m still waiting for a battle to be named ‘Battle with Miscellaneous Body Parts Left to Rot in the Aftermath’
