It is commonplace that warfare was integral to the European
expansion, pitting the superiorities of the European against the
inferiorities of the 'native'. The aim of this book is to look
deeper, and to examine the technological, political and economic
structures and capacities of the competing forces that shaped their
ability to wage war, and the impact that colonial wars had on
European and non-European states and societies alike. Questions of
the extent to which one side could adapt its military institutions,
tactics and technology to those of its opponents figure
prominently. This was far from an inevitable one-way process, and
environment and disease remained vital factors. The studies also
situate these conflicts within the broader debate concerning the
so-called military revolution, and show that our ideas of this need
to be reconsidered in the light of what was happening outside
Europe.
