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
