Battle is a keyword action.

Details

It is an event that occurs when a creature attacks another creature or becomes blocked by another creature, as well as by Force Battle effects.

This causes the 2 creatures to compare power, with the creature with the lowest power being put into their owner's graveyard. If both creatures have the same power, both creatures are put into their owner's graveyard. If an effect prevents the creature with the lower power from being destroyed, both creatures remain tapped. The only exceptions are Win All Battles abilities where a creature with lower power may destroy a creature with a higher power in a direct battle.

A battle does NOT occur when an unblocked creature attacks your opponent in order to break a shield or win the game.
