*WIKILIST OF “ONGOING ARMED CONFLICTS”*
.
(“military history” is a ‘humanities discipline’ within the scope of ‘general historical recording’ of ‘armed conflict’ in the history of ‘humanity’, and its impact on the ‘societies’, their ‘cultures’, ‘economies’, and changing ‘intra’ + ‘inter’ national relationships)
(‘professional historians’ normally focus on ‘military affairs’ that had a major impact on the ‘societies’ involved as well as the ‘aftermath of conflicts’, while ‘amateur historians’ + ‘hobbyists’ often take a larger interest in the details of ‘battles’, ‘equipment’, and ‘uniforms’ in use)
(the essential subjects of ‘military history study’ are…)
*the causes of war*
*the ‘social’ + ‘cultural’ foundations*
*’military doctrine’ on each side*
*the ‘logistics’ / ‘leadership’ / ‘technology’ / ‘strategy’ / ‘tactics used’*
*how these changed over time*
.
(on the other hand, ‘just war theory’ explores the ‘moral dimensions’ of ‘warfare’, and to better limit the ‘destructive reality’ caused by ‘war’, seeks to establish a doctrine of “military ethics”)
(as an “applied field”, ‘military history’ has been studied at ‘academies’ and ‘service schools’ because the ‘military command’ seeks to not repeat ‘past mistakes’, and improve upon its ‘current performance’ by instilling an ability in ‘commanders’ to perceive ‘historical parallels’ during a ‘battle’, so as to capitalize on the lessons learned from the past)
(when certifying ‘military history instructors’, the “combat studies institute” de-emphasizes ‘rote detail memorization’ and focuses on ‘themes’ and ‘context’ in relation to ‘current’ + ‘future conflict’ using the motto “past is prologue”)
(the ‘discipline’ of ‘military history’ is ‘dynamic’, changing with ‘development’ (as much of the ‘subject area’ as the ‘societies’ and ‘organizations’ that make use of it)
(the ‘dynamic nature’ of the ‘discipline’ of ‘military history’ is largely related to the ‘rapidity of change’ the ‘military forces’ (and the ‘art’ + ‘science’ of managing them), as well as the ‘frenetic pace’ of ‘technological development’ that had taken place during the period known as the “industrial revolution”, and more recently in the ‘nuclear’ + ‘information’ ages)
(an important recent concept is the “revolution in ‘military affairs’ (aka ‘RMA’) which attempts to explain how ‘warfare’ has been shaped by ’emerging technologies’ (such as ‘gunpowder’))
.
(it highlights the short outbursts of ‘rapid change’ followed by periods of ‘relative stability’)
