Information about Military history

Military history is the recording (in writing or otherwise) of the events in
the history of Man that fall within the category of "conflict". This may
range from a dispute between two tribes that come to blow over a plot of
land, to a world war.

Types of warfare

"Conventional" warfare involves well-identified, armed soldiers fighting one
another in a relatively open and straightforward way.

"Unconventional", or Asymmetric warfare, involves guerrilla, insurgency, and
terrorist tactics. This type of warfare has a longer history than most
people imagine.
