English term or phrase: seat of war
I am translating a book about the French intervention in Mexico. The sentence I am having trouble with is "And in another letter, written on the eve of his departure for the seat of war, he repeats the same complaints." My try is: "Y en otra carta, escrita en la víspera de su salida guiado por la guerra, él repite las mismas quejas." Thanks.

asiento de la guerra/frente


Explanation:
He encontrado algunas referencias como "asiento de la guerra", en textos antiguos. Sin embargo, se podría traducir también como "la víspera/el día antes de partir al frente"...

Saludos.

teatro de operaciones


Explanation:
En terminología militar, se denomina **teatro de operaciones** o simplemente teatro a un área geográfica específica en la cual se desarrolla un conflicto armado. Una guerra tiene que desarrollarse en una proporción considerable del globo terráqueo para que se la considere suficientemente grande para tener teatros, término que no se usa nunca en singular: una guerra tiene dos o más teatros o ninguno.

Suerte
