It can happen anywhere. Even armed police or military understand that being outnumbered by a high enough ratio guarantees your defeat. Gen. Custer established that.

Aitch-e-el-el, Leonidas established that a long time before Custer. And if I thought about it for a while I bet I could come up with someone before Leonidas.

I imagine the results of vastly outnumbering ones opponent in battle were discovered by very early humans - and probably discussed over a dinner of grilled mastodon steaks.
