adequate for explaining warfare in the modern era. The paper will introduce Clausewitz’s very systematic approach to the subject of war and will prove how useful it remains for formulating a definition of war that is able to conceptualize the many different forms of modern war. To achieve this task, the definitions “war is more than a chameleon” and “the wondrous trinity”, come to demonstrate that the theories of Carl Von Clausewitz are still adequate for explaining warfare in the modern era.

There were three main types of guerilla warfare during the Civil War. The first type of irregular warfare was used as a military tool.

The second type of guerilla warfare was known as community control. This took place more between neighbors than between the North and South

Getting people to listen, to follow, to make a change, is one of the cornerstones of every history book you can find. Not only is this a part of American history, but as we have learned the first four weeks of this class, it is global. Does a peaceful protest truly accomplish anything? Or is force required to open people’s eyes to the revolution that is beginning? We have been, in this class, exposed to two distinctly different tactics on how to make a change in a country, how to accomplish a goal

of new technology in influencing the nature of warfare in the years 1845-1991” In order to ascertain the effect that technological advances had on the nature of warfare within this 146 year period, it is necessary to break down the definition of the “nature” of warfare.

Introduction The terrorist attacks in America have since publicized controversial attitudes in understanding and defining terrorism.
