The quote is an example of a personification explain why.

"It was evident that their battle cry was "conqure or die"."

The quote is an example of a personification because Personification is a literary device that writers use to give human qualities or attitudes to inanimate things.

Explanation:

The sentence "It was evident that their battle cry was "conquer or die". is not referring to cry as the action of a human in moment of sorrow but to a shout to express what they want, then the sentence puts war in the position of a human as a way to express what that cry means which is "conquer or die" war represents an invisible being that talks this.

Because the battle didn't actually "cry" as a person would. It's just an expression that was used in the quote
