Evolution of Warfare

Since existence, human beings have always waged war. It is claimed that the first action the Homo sapiens engaged in on the global stage was genocide with the complete obliteration of the Neanderthals even though there is no implication of a prearranged war endeavor.

Abstract

The historic incident of the U.S attack on the Iraqi Ba’arthist troops headed by Saddam Hussein on 1991 and the annexation of the country in 2003 have generated different debates on the actual intention of the stakeholders.

These critics believe that America took over the ethical duty to organize the law and order of Iraq and establish a democratic ...

The Challenges Faced by Military, Naval Support Transportation and Flow of Support During the Past Wars.

This arm of the military specializes in water combat, and it is essential for all nations across the globe to have a well trained and equipped naval force. This is because it serves to compliment the efforts of all the other branches of the military (Creveld 2004, p. 12). In fact, a well equipped naval force facilitates the putting up of a formidable fight when the need arises. Over the years, countries have engaged in a broad range of naval warfare.

This change coincided with the industrial revolution which brought wide ranging changes to manufacturing processes. The production line allowed weapons and other instruments of warfare to be produced in mass numbers never before seen. More advanced manufacturing techniques meant more secure ammunition, ...

‘Warfare state’ or ‘welfare state’: which better describes the British State in the 20th century?

Great Britain has been a witness to many conflicts that had led to a shift in international and regional politics, triggering the onset of policies and programs directed to either war or welfare. As a veteran of the Great Wars and one of the world’s influential hegemons, Britain had succumbed to both victory and immense loss especially in economic and social development. With the trauma caused by the Great Wars to the nation, the British government alongside the monarchy had revised its programs to revive the once dominant British state towards the 20th century. However, experts have argued as to what ...

INTRODUCTION

War is one of the ugliest and damaging of all human behaviors. Many atrocities are committed against enemies in times of war. However, while most people do not encourage war, they may endorse it under certain circumstances. Many see warfare as an inevitability in a diverse world; a necessary evil. People of all genders, races, ages and religions have participated in warfare throughout the ages. Christianity has been involved in its share of warfare since its earliest origins 2000 years ago (Charles, 1-2). Of course, there are many Christian denominations, and they sometimes do not see eye-to-eye is where “good” Christians ...

Eye-Deep In Hell: Trench Warfare In World War I (1989) - John Ellis

When it comes to wars that are an exercise of futility, nothing good can come out of them. Although all wars can be considered an exercise of futility, this is particularly true of the First World War. Although World War I was not the first time that trench warfare has been employed but trenches were certainly a prominent part of World War I. Undoubtedly, the thousands of eager soldiers who signed up for World War I in August 1914 had no clue of what was to come but they soon realized how futile the war really was. Trench warfare in ...

In order to ensure thatUSCYBERCOM is effective in its operations, there is need for sufficient communication from the US ARMY. This gives the force a direction on the key areas to focus on. The US government ought to provide sufficient funding since this area can grow and new technologies are always coming up. Sourcing of experts from leading firms and institutions of higher learning to run the facility is another approach of ensuring coverage of a large scope of cyber space security (Winterfeld and Andress, 284).

Asymmetric warfare involves a manner of thinking, organizing, and acting that is different from the opponent (Patterson 2002). This enables one to maximize their own advantages or exploit the weaknesses of their enemies. It involves the use of new capabilities that are not perceived or understood by the enemies. They enable one to counter or exceed the enemies’ capabilities or consist of capabilities that involve entirely new methods of defense or attack. According to Carter (2012), asymmetric warfare is a “war between combatants whose relative power differs significantly or whose strategies or tactics differ significantly” (Carter 2012, second paragraph). An ...

During the end times of the World War II, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill was quoted for saying that the Britons would not stop fighting for their country. They would fight on the hilltops, in the plains, in the valleys, in the skies, and every other front that could help them to achieve their goal. This phrase might have been taken to mean that the war was to go on, but looked from the modern perspective, it is clear that the prime minister implied that they could use any means possible to win the war. This is actually what ...

Throughout the semester, I have learned about the security, and security is one of the most important issues in the world. Many people think security means safety and peace as same as I thought, and I thought security is like a password. Nowadays, many people have a password to protect their information in the world. When we use the internet and bank service, they always require a password, and many people have different passwords each other because of protecting personal information. Of course, it is one of the security issues, but security divided by three parts. According to the “Global Politics,” security ...

A. In the 20th Century, there have been many explanations for the causes or warfare, such that it is a biological or psychological instinct, a cultural invention, or a political and historic necessity of states acting in their own rational self-interests. Sigmund Freud theorized that the human psyche was split between Eros and Thantos, the love instinct and the death instinct, and that the latter was responsible for war and aggression. Thantos also used reason and the intellect to invent ever more expensive technologies of death and destruction, but Freud hoped that Eros and the intellect could unite to overcome Thantos, so ...

Introduction

The United States was and still the most powerful military and economic force around the globe. The country’s number one position is maintained through intervention into some countries they believe unfriendly to the United States interest.

The United States may have lacked some concrete insurgency and guerilla warfare plans throughout the war in Vietnam. Way back 1973; fifty eight thousand American soldiers lost their lives during the war in Vietnam in ...

The Civil War was different from any other war as it confirms evidence that it may have been the first ‘total’ and ‘modern’ war, namely in its technology and its tactics. This research paper will show that the Civil War was different from other wars prior to it; although, continuities undoubtedly existed and differences were not total; the rationale behind it’s undoubtedly position within the annotations on other wars. One of the approaches the Civil War may be argued as different from any other war prior to it may be through the claim that, it was first ‘ ...

Introduction

The First World War mirrored a technological trend toward the use of mass production procedures to the use of weapons for warfare. This development started half a century before the First World War and persisted in various conflicts in which weapons were brought to test. The Civil War was heavily influenced by new advancements in technology, especially railroads and guns. However, when the First World War began, the United States discovered itself to lack military technology. The earlier periods of World War I symbolized a clash of the twentieth era technology with the nineteenth era combat in the form of unsuccessful ...

One of the most important factors to consider when discussing the military in early North America is that each colony had its own militia organization that theoretically was supposed to include all able-bodied white males who were generally expected to provide their own weapons. These militias were also called up in the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, the Mexican War and the Civil War, as well as the various wars against the Native Americans. In a country that had a weak central government—and none at all during the colonial era—along with a string distrust of standing armies of the ...

Abstract

Although the methodology and technology of warfare had evolved together with human civilization, the main ideas of preparation, preemption, intelligence collection and overall awareness of enemy’s capabilities remain relevant today just as two thousand years ago. The aim of the current research is to investigate a specific issue of intelligence and surveillance, meaning the influence of the modern Revolution in Military Affairs (RMA) on the aerial surveillance. In this context, a specific issue of the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) as means of surveillance collection is discussed in the framework of its benefits and possible challenges for the future intelligence and ...

Throughout centuries of fighting, the fundamental basis of warfare remains the ideological or militaristic conflict between two opposing sides.

Primarily we must know what we mean by unmanned vehicles, unmanned vehicles refer to all mechanic organisms capable of movement without direct human control. Although the birth of this unmanned human technology has reduced the chances of errors, the risk of human life (for the attacker) and has given wide access to attacking units it has created a negative image of these unmanned vehicles. According to an article by CNN Robotic Warfare expert Peter Singer says that although this technology has allowed the US to target an increasing number of terrorist leaders, perhaps it has also given them a better recruiting ...

Wilfred Owen, the poet who poured his heart out in the lines of the war-poem, Dulce et Decorum Est, was himself a soldier who faced the harrowing experiences of war and was left with an everlasting scar on his mind. He could never get over the trauma and tragedy of warfare and his poems are among the most emphatic piece of literary works which denounce warfare and exemplify the brutalities of violence and the ultimate futility which leads to irreplaceable loss of lives and psychological strain. The poem is a first-hand account of the mental effect of war on the mind ...

Child Soldiers Role in Warfare Conclusion Ways in which children soldiers have been used for warfare Introduction Child soldiers are extremely common in developing nations where there is political, economical, and social instability (Tiefenbrun 421). The formation of new international laws has not been able to curb child soldiering completely. Children have been used as child soldiers in the last couple of centuries. According to Rosen (1), approximately between 250,000 and 300,000 child soldiers are being used in wars around the world at any given time. In 2004, the rebels and the government ...

Abstract

With the advancement in technology, there are many ways in which technology have been applied in the military.

Introducing Political Warfare

‘Political Warfare’ is the strategy which is applied upon the opposing ...

The work that Clausewitz has done on the strategy of war is important because it presents insight into how many of the generals and tacticians who came after were informed by his insights. While it is often understood that his work reflects the importance of raw power, as well as the projection of will, there are also two other important factors in war that he discusses. While he does argue that power is important, he also saw the importance of both the inevitability of random chance and the purpose, motives, or endgame of those ...

The Savannah Campaign

According to Civil War Historian Anne J. Bailey, the Savannah Campaign was “the most destructive campaign against a civilian population during the Civil War (1861-65)” and is significant because it incorporated psychological warfare (2002). The campaign began in November of 1864 and lasted a little over a month. In this campaign, General William Sherman of the Union Army took his troops across Georgia to the Atlantic Ocean (Bailey 2002). By the time Sherman began his “March to the Sea” as the Savannah Campaign is often called, the Confederate Army of Tennessee had moved to Alabama. This left Georgia unprotected. According to Bailey, ...

Guerrilla warfare and urban terrorism.

The period starting 1970 towards the 21st century has seen a number of attacks by organized groups against established governments in the struggle for control of resources. Terrorism is an activity that has taken publicity in the recent years. The 9/11 bombing of the world trade centre is a vivid example of terrorism activity. A closely linked version of retaliation and struggle to wield power and control is the guerrilla warfare. This model has existed for some time. It employs undercover tactics that target a rather unstable government. Looking at the operations of terrorist groups and guerrilla warfare tactics, we come to a ...

The Conscription of Wealth: Mass Warfare and the Demand for Progressive Taxation (2010) by Kenneth Scheve and David Stasavage.

Scheve and Stasavage assert that redistribution of wealthy through progressive taxation has remained a major concern for governments for many years. Most governments adopt tax policies, which support the use of progressive taxation to lower income disparity, promote investment and minimize collective sacrifice and suffrage of citizens in warfare (Scheve & Stasavage 529). However, the increase in demand for progressive taxation is fuelled by existence of political parties, which mobilize mass to participate in warfare and the establishment of ...

Throughout centuries of fighting, the fundamental basis of warfare remains the ideological or militaristic conflict between two opposing sides. While the means, methods and strategies of warfare have changed dramatically in the last four hundred years, governments and militaries have always needed to find a way to ensure that morale remains on their side and encourage antipathy towards their opponents. To that end, propaganda was created – the biased historical and cultural narratives created by cultures and governments to vilify their opponents and uplift their own military forces. Propaganda has survived four centuries of change through its durability and malleability throughout ...

Persian Gulf War

The Arab Gulf Region has been through two historically devastating wars: one was the prolonged conflict in 1980s between Iran and Iraq, and the other that followed was the war that started when the President of Iraq took the world by surprise and ordered the invasion of Kuwait.

Nora Eisenberg recounted what the Executive Director of Gulf War veterans said, that the war not only lingers in the body of ...

War remains one of the challenges facing the world today. Eruption of war is not a new phenomenon because it has existed for many years and continues affecting regional integration, economic, political, and social development, worldwide.

In the last hundred years, the course of human civilization has taken a number of dramatic turns; we have gone from a relatively equitable and imperial pre-industrial society to a very one-sided, technologically advanced and globalized place. Colonialism has been dramatically reduced, technology has advanced by leaps and bounds as a result of World War II and the arms race, and more. Racial and ethnic conflicts have begun to come to a head, either being resolved or advanced greatly (the Civil Rights movement) or perpetuated beyond measure (the Israeli-Palestine conflict). Toward that end, it is important to consider how the world has changed, both ...

1. Discuss the cultural connections and parallels between Classical Greece and the Hellenistic world and the Roman Empire in terms of art, literature, religion and philosophy.

United States Military Strategy and Policy 1. Describe Washington’s strategy in the American Revolution.

George Washington wore the British and their Hessian mercenaries down small battle by small battle with his Strategy of Attrition. There were practical reasons for using this strategy. The Continental Army had 220,000 but only about half of those soldiers had militia training while on the other hand the British had 162,000 well trained British troops and German mercenaries. The odds against the American revolutionaries were frightening because the New England soldiers were not an army yet when Washington arrived in ...

The Crimean war which apparently began over a trivial control of the Orthodox Christians of the holy cities of Jerusalem and Nazareth was actually the culmination of a long power struggle in Europe. The aggressive expansionism of Russia coupled with its pledge to rule over the Ottoman Empire in order to gain control of the route to Asia and the consequent British fear of losing its business trades to Asia and to check Russian expansionism resulted in eruption of the Crimean war. Ultimately, the Russians had to meekly surrender to the Allied forces of Britain, France, Turkey and a neutral attitude of ...

According to the chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) classification of hazards, each of the individual types of agents can result in various types of injuries at different periods depending on the time they have been released (CBRNE Task Force Statement, 2008). Both chemical and biological agents result in injuries that fundamentally affect human beings via internal cellular pathways (CBRNE Task Force Statement, 2008). Unlike biological agents, which are transmitted through infection, chemical agents do not have any infectious attributes (CBRNE Task Force Statement, 2008). However, usually, the consequences of noxious chemical agents, especially pulmonary toxins such as nerve ...

Abstract

Video games have evolved a thousand times since their first introduction to consumers. They have increased not only in price but in intensity. Violence seems to be a central theme in some games and with that there is the consequential impact on today’s youth.

It aims to simply describe two popular selections that have quite a few things in common, despite their obvious differences. Call of Duty allows for traveling through time from World War II to ...
