This book covers 26 independence wars that have irrevocably changed
the world, beginning with the Maccabean Revolt against Rome
(167–160 BCE) and ending with the Tamil War for Independence in
Sri Lanka (1983–2009). Throughout history, people longing for
independence have fought wars to win their freedom. Some of these
wars, such as the American Revolution and the Israeli War of
Independence, were great successes. Others, such as the Jewish
Revolt against the Roman Empire, were devastating failures. In some
cases, most notably the Arab Revolt, the outcome had immense
repercussions that are still felt today all over the world. This
book examines 26 of the most significant independence wars, from
ancient times to the modern era and identifies the origins and
consequences of these key conflicts. Comprehensive overview essays
as well as explanations of the causes and consequences of each war
give readers the background needed to understand the importance of
these seminal events. Additional learning tools include detailed
timelines that contextualize all of the key events in the conflict,
maps of several of the key battles that help readers visualize the
strategies of both sides, and a lengthy bibliography that offers a
wealth of options for students looking to further investigate any
of the conflicts.
