establishing European colonial empires in Asia and Africa is
examined. Conflicts covered include the Boer Wars, the American
Civil War, the Austro-Prussian War, the Franco-Prussian War, the
Russo-Turkish War, World War I, the Finnish Civil War, the Spanish
Civil War, World War II and the French Indochina War.
