The first article we present from Kyle Weissman's blog on Mainestategop are about 10 great battles in history that hardly anybody knows about. These are battles that were won using tactical genius against all odds and that are not known in history.

Given this, not a terrible list. I think the absence of Belisarius (Vandal, Ostragoth campaigns) is distressing, but those battles are relatively well known amongst military historians compared to most on this list.

The author did qualify his list by saying these are all battles that many have not heard about. I confess that I was not aware of several of them before reading this. The well-known events are not considered for this list.

Here’s another that’s not generally well-known:

Battle of Zama, 202 B.C. Scipio Africanus defeats Hannibal’s army and Rome puts an end to the Carthaginian threat.
