Question: which battle took place first Battle of Stones River or Battle of Belleau Wood ?
Context: Stones River National Battlefield, a 570 acre park along the Stones River in Rutherford County, Tennessee, three miles (5 km) northwest of Murfreesboro and twenty-eight miles southeast of Nashville, memorializes the Battle of Stones River, a key battle of the American Civil War that took place on December 31, 1862 and January 2, 1863, which resulted in a strategic Union victory. The Battle of Kuwait International Airport occurred on February 27, 1991 during the 1st Gulf War.  It was a tank battle between the United States and Ba'athist Iraq.  Despite being a very large battle it is often overlooked compared to the other battles which took place during the war.  No less than elements of 18 divisions total participated in this battle.  U.S. Army Special Forces units and multiple Iraqi Commando units were also in theatre.  In reality the battle took place over a span of three days despite the primary battle at Kuwait International Airport lasting only one day.  Much of the combat actually took place en route to the airport.  The battle featured the "Reveille Engagement" which went on to become the biggest and fastest tank battle in United States Marine Corps' entire history. The Battle of Belleau Wood (1–26 June 1918) occurred during the German Spring Offensive in World War I, near the Marne River in France.  The battle was fought between the U.S. 2nd (under the command of Major General Omar Bundy) and 3rd Divisions along with French and British forces against an assortment of German units including elements from the 237th, 10th, 197th, 87th, and 28th Divisions.  The battle has become a key component of the lore of the United States Marine Corps. The Battle of the Allia was fought between the Senones (one of the Gallic tribes which had invaded northern Italy) and the Romans.  It was fought at the confluence of the rivers Tiber and Allia, eleven Roman miles (16 km) north of Rome.  The Romans were routed and subsequently the Senones sacked Rome.  The common date given for the battle is 390 BC.  This is based on the account of the battle by the Roman historian Livy and the Varronian Chronology, a Roman dating system.  The ancient Greek historian Polybius, who used a Greek dating system, derived the date 387/6 BC.  Plutarch wrote that the battle took place just after the summer solstice when the moon was near the full, a little more than three hundred and sixty years from the foundation of Rome.  That would be shortly after 393 BC.  Tacitus said that the battle took place the 15 before the Kalends of August, which is 18 July. The Second Battle of Passchendaele was the culminating attack during the Third Battle of Ypres of the First World War.  The battle took place in the Ypres Salient area of the Western Front, in and around the Belgian village of Passchendaele, between 26 October and 10 November 1917.  The Canadian Corps relieved the exhausted II Anzac Corps, continuing the advance started with the First Battle of Passchendaele and ultimately capturing the village.  Beyond gaining favourable observation positions, the battle was intended to gain drier winter positions on higher ground. The Battle of Ticinus was a battle of the Second Punic War fought between the Carthaginian forces of Hannibal and the Romans under Publius Cornelius Scipio in November 218 BC.  The battle took place in the flat country of Pavia county on the right bank of the Ticino River, not far north from its confluence (from the north) with the Po River.  The battle is named from the river, not the nearby contemporaneous settlement of Ticinum (today's Pavia).  Although the precise location is not known, it is generally accepted that a settlement known today as Vigevano is mentioned in Livy's text and that Scipio's camp was to the south at Gambolo, whose coordinates are given on the map.  The conflict would have been west of there.  It was the first battle of the war against the Romans that was fought on Italian soil and the first battle of the war to employ legion-sized forces.  Its loss by the Romans, and the temporary disablement of Scipio's command, set the stage for the Roman disaster at the Battle of Trebbia in December. The Battle of Asculum took place in 279 BC between the Roman Republic under the command of the consuls Publius Decius Mus and Publius Sulpicius Saverrio and the forces of Pyrhus the king of Epirus.  The battle took place during the Pyrrhic War, after the Battle of Heraclea of 280 BC, which was the first battle of the war.  There exist accounts of this battle by three ancient historians: Dionysius of Halicarnassus, Plutarch and Cassius Dio.  Asculum was in Lucanian territory, In southern Italy. The First Transjordan attack on Amman (known to the British as the First Attack on Amman) and to their enemy as the First Battle of the Jordan took place between 21 March and 2 April 1918, as a consequence of the successful Battle of Tell 'Asur which occurred after the Capture of Jericho in February and the Occupation of the Jordan Valley began, during the Sinai and Palestine Campaign of World War I.  During the First Transjordan attack large incursions into Ottoman territory occurred.  Firstly the Passage of the Jordan River, was successfully captured between 21 and 23 March, followed by the first occupation of Es Salt in the hills of Moab between 24 and 25 March.  The First Battle of Amman took place between 27 and 31 March when the Anzac Mounted Division and the Imperial Camel Corps Brigade (fighting dismounted as infantry) were reinforced by two battalions of 181st Brigade followed by a second two battalions from the 180th Brigade (60th London Division) and artillery.  The Fourth Army headquarters located in Amman was strongly garrisoned and during the battle received reinforcements on the Hejaz railway, the strength of which eventually forced the attacking force to retire back to the Jordan Valley between 31 March and 2 April.  The Jordan Valley would continue to be occupied by the Egyptian Expeditionary Force (EEF) through the summer until the middle of September 1918 when the Battle of Megiddo began. The Battle of Savo Island, also known as the First Battle of Savo Island and, in Japanese sources, as the First Battle of the Solomon Sea (第一次ソロモン海戦 , Dai-ichi-ji Soromon Kaisen ) , and colloquially among Allied Guadalcanal veterans as The Battle of the Five Sitting Ducks, was a naval battle of the Pacific Campaign of World War II between the Imperial Japanese Navy and Allied naval forces.  The battle took place on August 8–9, 1942 and was the first major naval engagement of the Guadalcanal campaign, and the first of several naval battles in the straits later named Ironbottom Sound, near the island of Guadalcanal. The Battle of Stones River or Second Battle of Murfreesboro, was fought from December 31, 1862, to January 2, 1863, in Middle Tennessee, as the culmination of the Stones River Campaign in the Western Theater of the American Civil War.  Of the major battles of the Civil War, Stones River had the highest percentage of casualties on both sides.  Although the battle itself was inconclusive, the Union Army's repulse of two Confederate attacks and the subsequent Confederate withdrawal were a much-needed boost to Union morale after the defeat at the Battle of Fredericksburg, and it dashed Confederate aspirations for control of Middle Tennessee.
