In that case, would a link to the Wikipedia articles, detailling the context around the battles/wars, be a quick win to implement?

[sorry, I'm old school. I still Wikipedia is a damn good single source of truth]

Certainly a good source of linked data. I was just using it to investigate why there's a fort called "Babylon" in Egypt, and then admiring the well-preserved brickwork. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babylon_Fortress
