What is TrendingLoop?

TrendingLoop is a place for history fans to settle the great "who would win" debates. Each battle page looks at the armies, weapons, tactics and leaders on both sides, explains what actually happened (or what most likely would have), and then lets you vote.

Votes feed the all-time leaderboard, so the rankings above are decided by readers, not by us. Want to suggest a matchup? Get in touch or read more about the project.
