Excerpt from A Course of Instruction in the Elements of the Art and Science of War: For the Use of Cadets of the United States Military Academy
1. Nations often become involved with other nations or states in quarrels or disputes which can not be settled or composed by peaceful measures. Military force is then employed and the resulting contest is known as "war."
2. War has therefore been defined to be "a contest between nations, states, or parts of states, carried on by force."
Wars are classified in various ways. They are classified from the nature of the military operations employed in their prosecution; into offensive or defensive wars: from the end to be attained; into wars of conquest, wars of independence, etc.: from the causes producing the war; into wars of insurrection, religious wars, etc.: from the general locality in which they are waged; into American, African, European, etc. Other classifications than these are also used, being based on the nature and object of the war.
The subdivisions and classifications employed are generally of so marked a character that the reader will easily perceive the reasons governing their use by the writer.
