time war
Chronological combat scenario
A time war is a conflict waged across multiple eras using time travel, where combatants attempt to alter history to defeat their enemies.
The concept appears in science fiction, most notably in *Doctor Who*, where rival factions erase events, rewrite timelines, and weaponize paradoxes.
By extension, any struggle over historical narrative or memory: The culture war is really a time war over whose version of the past gets taught.
