    It's Paraguayans vs Brazilians. Going to guess it's the battle of Tuyutí.

    Tuyutí is the correct answer! One of the bloodiest engagements of a particularly devastating conflict.

    That's correct. The first battle between Egypt and the Achaemenid Empire. The Achaemenid empire is also called the first Persian empire, presumably named after their fearsome beasts of war.
