The 20th century was by far the world's most destructive century with two global wars marking its first half and the constant fear of nuclear annihilation haunting the second. Examining warfare in Europe from the Fashoda conflict to the Iraqi conflict, this text treats warfare as a function of larger political, cultural, social and economic issues.

Despite the catastrophic effects of war, wars have also proved to be instrumental to long-term change in world history. This text is the first of its kind to survey how warfare has developed from ancient times to the present day.
