Plan de Sánchez is a village in the municipality of Rabinal, Baja Verapaz department, Guatemala.
 On July 18, 1982, while General Efraín Ríos Montt was President of Guatemala, a massacre was committed there by government forces during which over 200 people were killed.
 The massacre was a part of what is known as the scorched earth policy where the Guatemalan army eliminated up to 200,000 Mayan and indigenous peoples in a 36-year civil war until 1996.
 In 2000 President Alfonso Portillo admitted that the government was responsible for the massacre in the village.
Camulogene was an Aulerci elder and leader of the 52 BC coalition of the Seine peoples according to Caesar.
 He put a scorched earth policy in place, burning Lutetia then trying to ensnare Titus Labienus's troops.
 He died in the battle of Lutetia.
 The Rue Camulogène in Paris is named after him.
Field Marshal Horatio Herbert Kitchener, 1st Earl Kitchener, ( ; 24 June 1850 – 5 June 1916) was a senior British Army officer and colonial administrator who won notoriety for his imperial campaigns, most especially his scorched earth policy against the Boers and his establishment of concentration camps during the Second Boer War, and later played a central role in the early part of the First World War.
Karl Ludwig von Phull (or Pfuel) (6 November 1757 – 25 April 1826) was a German general in the service of the Kingdom of Prussia and the Russian Empire.
 Phull served as Chief of the General Staff of King Frederick William III of Prussia in the Battle of Jena-Auerstedt.
 While in Russian service, he successfully advocated for a scorched earth policy during Napoleon's invasion of Russia.
At the Battle of Omdurman (2 September 1898), an army commanded by the British General Sir Herbert Kitchener defeated the army of Abdullah al-Taashi, the successor to the self-proclaimed Mahdi, Muhammad Ahmad.
 Kitchener was seeking revenge for the 1885 death of General Gordon.
 It was a demonstration of the superiority of a highly disciplined army equipped with modern rifles, machine guns, and artillery over a force twice their size armed with older weapons, and marked the success of British efforts to re-conquer the Sudan.
 However, it was not until the 1899 Battle of Umm Diwaykarat that the final Mahdist forces were defeated.
Memnon of Rhodes (Μέμνων ὁ Ῥόδιος, 380 – 333 BC) was the commander of the Greek mercenaries in the service of the Persian king Darius III when Alexander the Great of Macedonia invaded the Persian Empire in 334 BC.
 Memnon famously advocated a scorched earth policy against Alexander, aware of the Macedonian's lack of supplies and funds.
 He commanded the mercenaries at the Battle of the Granicus River, where his troops were massacred by the victorious Macedonians.
The Spanish invasion of Portugal between 5 May and 24 November 1762 was a main military episode of the wider Seven Years' War, where Spain and France were heavily defeated by the Anglo-Portuguese Alliance (including broad popular resistance).
 It initially involved the forces of Spain and Portugal, before the French and British intervened in the conflict on the side of their respective allies.
 The war was also strongly marked by a national guerilla warfare in the mountainous country, cutting off supplies from Spain and a hostile peasantry that enforced a scorched earth policy as the invading armies approached, leaving the invaders starving and short of military supplies.
The Three Alls Policy (, Japanese: 三光作戦 Sankō Sakusen) was a Japanese scorched earth policy adopted in China during World War II, the three "alls" being "kill all, burn all, loot all" ().
 This policy was designed as retaliation against the Chinese for the Communist-led Hundred Regiments Offensive in December 1940.
 Contemporary Japanese documents referred to the policy as "The Burn to Ash Strategy" (燼滅作戦 , Jinmetsu Sakusen ) .
The Kuwaiti oil fires were caused by Iraqi military forces setting fire to a reported 605 to 732 oil wells along with an unspecified number of oil filled low-lying areas, such as oil lakes and fire trenches, as part of a scorched earth policy while retreating from Kuwait in 1991 due to the advances of Coalition military forces in the Persian Gulf War.
 The fires were started in January and February 1991, and the first well fires were extinguished in early April 1991, with the last well capped on November 6, 1991.
Operation Nordlicht ("Northern Light") was a German operation during the end of World War II.
 After Finland had made peace with the USSR, the Germans planned to fall back to defense lines built and equipped in advance across Finnish Lapland (Operation Birke).
 During the operation, the "Oberkommando der Wehrmacht" gave an order to move from Operation Birke to Operation Nordlicht on 4 October 1944.
 This meant that instead of evacuating everything and then fortifying on the strong defensive positions German 20th Mountain Army was to retreat according to a set timetable to a new defense line in Lyngen, Norway.
 The Germans retreated using scorched earth tactics, and destroyed almost all buildings and all boats in Finnmark, thus denying the enemy any facilities in the area.
 These same tactics had already been used in Finnish Lapland.
 The retreat ended on January 30, 1945.
