Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Elements of Strategy Offensive and Defensive War. - War is a contest waged between two belligerents for the purpose of determining questions at issue which cannot be settled by ordinary diplomatic means. The contest is usually directed by the chief executive power of a state acting as the supreme controller of the national armies and navies. During the progress of a great war all the powers of the nation should be centered in bringing the war to a speedy and successful termination by diplomacy, and by the utilization of the resources of the nation to raise its armed strength to a state commensurate with the task before it, and to maintain this state throughout the contest. The contest itself is carried on by the armed strength of the belligerents directed by the commanders of the land and sea forces. A war is offensive on the part of the belligerent whose armed strength enables him to invade and maintain himself in his adversary´s territory; it is defensive on the part of the one who is unable to protect himself from such invasion. When the belligerents are approximately equal in armed strength, the war may become alternately offensive and defensive, or it may be offensive in one part of the territory and defensive in another.
