Colonial war[edit]

Myself and User:Ve3 discovered that there was no page for colonial war, so this one has been created. Hopefully other Wikipedians on the project can chip in with this page, so that we can turn it into a quality article! Rusty2005 17:24, 29 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Kirill Lokshin[edit]

A good start. Off the top of my head, some more topics that might be discussed here:

  • Anglo-Franco-Spanish colonial warfare in North America (e.g. French and Indian War and so forth). This would probably be easy to expand, since we have fairly extensive series of articles on those conflicts.
  • Aspects of WWI and WWII tied to colonial warfare, particularly the WWI East Africa campaigns.
  • Maybe discuss wars of independence to some extent here?
  • Gunboat diplomacy, banana republics, and so forth? Not sure to what extent this would fit under "colonial" warfare, though.

Mostly, the article just needs more material ;-) Kirill Lokshin 20:29, 30 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
