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.
