The making of Dorset's military heritage has been a dramatic, brutal, and often turbulent affair. Successive and bloody invasions by Roman, Anglo-Saxon, Viking and Norman forces have paved the way for revolution, civil uprising, insurrection and rebellions that history defines as the Peasants' Revolt, the Swing and Monmouth Rebellions, the rise of the Dorset Clubmen, the Anarchy and English Civil Wars. From the time of the Durotriges tribes and their spectacular Iron Age strongholds, to the more modern sea forts and blast-proof nuclear bunkers of the Cold War, Dorset's landscape has been shaped by generations of defensive countermeasures.
Men of the local volunteers, militias, yeomanry, and Dorsetshire's Regiment of Foot have fought bravely and with In Tudor times the ships of Elizabeth I's navy dropped anchor in Dorset's waters before engaging the Spanish Armada off Portland.
