From the transcript

What defines battle? From the palinx, the chariot, and the horse archer of ancient history, to the siege of force and castles, to the advent of tanks, submarines, and aerial power, the parameters of the battle, and indeed of a war, are defined by the tools and tactics available to each side.

Nations with powerful navies will seek out naval combat, as society from the high mountains will do their best to fight a desert adversary in the snow and bitter cold and vice versa.

No matter the confrontation, no matter the conflict, wars are always defined by the conditions under which all sides choose to meet, but there's one set of conditions that lie so far out of the norm with so many key differences from any other sort of battlefield, but it deserves discussion all on its own. Urban warfare.
