Technology_And_Warfare

Technology And Warfare The Evolution of Technology and Warfare Warfare has built up and devastated nations, it has molded and destroyed cultures, since the beginning of civilization, warfare has left its impact on humanity, and it affects every aspect of human culture and life. Some historians and psychologists argue that humans naturally engage in warfare. Therefore, as long as the human race continues to exist, so will the art of warfare. Others have different views, claiming that warfare arose as human civilizations developed; the politics involved between towns, states, and countries created the conflicts that raged into war. Although the origin and future of warfare remains uncertain, history shows that many changes took place throughout the existence of war. From the small tribal conflicts of primitive man to the global threat of nuclear warfare, warfare has drastically changed. This paper will discuss the evolution of warfare, as well as the impact that technology has on it. Defining warfare is a very difficult task. A simple definition is “the use of physical force to settle disputes between organized groups” (Walsh 62). On the other hand, a more complex idea states that war is “an organized struggle between groups in which each side seeks to displace war, warfare, wars, technology, people, between, time, nations, human, gallie, first, evolution, each, during, world, weapons, two, technological, states, new, impact, idea, history, groups, future, fight, effort, constant, classic, changed, capabilities, brought, army, although, advances, about
