Scottish Wars

The Scottish Wars, primarily during the late 13th and early 14th centuries, were conflicts between Scotland and England over Scottish independence. Key events include the Wars of Scottish Independence, sparked by Edward I of England's attempts to assert control over Scotland. Notable figures include William Wallace, a leader of resistance, and Robert the Bruce, who later secured Scotland's independence after victories at battles like Bannockburn in 1314. These wars were crucial in shaping Scottish national identity and led to the eventual recognition of Scotland as an independent nation within the British Isles.
