Total war is a war of unlimited scope in which a belligerent engages in a mobilization of all available resources at their disposal, whether human, industrial, agricultural, military, natural,; technological, or otherwise, in order to entirely destroy or render, beyond use their rival’s capacity to continue resistance.

Afghanistan was a classic case that proved the limitations of modern war in the non-European world. Afghanistan was not nation state with a capital but a decentralized tribal structure.

Technology shapes warfare, not war. War is timeless and universal. It has afflicted virtually every state known to human history. Warfare is the conduct of war. It is the clash of arms or the maneuver of armed forces in the field.

The polarization of Europe’s politics into Left and Right also encouraged new ideas of the revolution which led to radical upheavals and subversion of such basic social institutions as family and property.

The French Revolution (1789-1799) was a period of radical social and political upheaval in French and European history.
