Topic:Military History
War has been a more or less natural condition of human societies for the entire span of recorded history. Warfare has been conducted on many different levels, from hand to hand honor duels to multinational instances of total war. The human desire for better military technology has not only drove us to the exploration of space, but have handed us for the first time the tools needed to destroy us all. The massive influence that military conquest and defeat have had on the development of societies on every corner of the earth make an understanding of Military History critical to students. An understanding of the events, peoples, and technologies man has called on in it's darkest hours will allow the student to develop a more thorough view of their world, the peoples who fight for it as well as against it, and allow a full understanding of the events that are, and have, molded nations.
