It is said that those who do not learn from the mistakes of history are doomed to repeat them. The history of war in this period birthed the development of so many new tactics as the technology changed the face of warfare: from the floundering experiments with early tanks and submarines to the magnificent airships that floated in, and then quickly out, of the modern world. From the Great War to the Falklands. From The Spanish War to the Japanese invasion of China.The Changing Nature of Warfare Complete Student Book is an extension of the bullet text book. It draws together the common themes of such a vast and pivotal part of military history, looking in detail at everything from the types of war, the experience of troops on the ground to the aims and mistakes of the leaders at the time. A selection of essay-enhancing quotes from powerful figures of history reflects on and elucidates the views of the divergent ideologies. Buried within the political landscape of Europe and beyond in the early 20th Century, there lies a story of humanitarian loss - the broken eggs that made the omelette of the advancement of warfare.This concise IGCSE guide is excellent for revision, is peppered with facts and figures to improve grades and to inspire a passion for history in the hearts and minds of a generation now removed from the reality of early 20th-century warfare.The Changing Nature of Warfare full book now contains maps, visual icons and more fun facts to reinforce and link together concepts in a way that promotes deeper thought and analysis, providing the student with an encyclopaedia of knowledge that they can mentally reference and organise, to apply to answering essay questions with ease and confident clarity.The combination of student and teacher resources makes for a seamless module of material that works in a perfectly complimentary way, while still allowing for professional selection and tailoring of material to meet the individual needs of student learning styles.Contents:Chapter 1; War, huh, what is it good for?Chapter 2; The nature of warfare in the early 1930s.Tanks, Navy, Military Aircraft, Artillery and Gas.Chapter 3; The changing nature of sea warfare.Battle of the Atlantic, Nuclear Submarines, Aircraft Carriers, Battle of the Pacific including, Pearl Harbour, Battle of the Coral Sea and the Battle for Midway and The Falklands Conflict.Chapter 4; Land Warfare WW2.Blitzkrieg, Invasion of Poland, Invasion of the Low Countries and France, Operation Barbarossa and Battle of the Bulge.Chapter 5; The changing nature of air warfare The Battle of Britain, The Blitz, V weapons and allied bombing of Germany.Chapter 6; Middle Eastern ConflictThe Six Day War, The War of Yom Kippur, the First Gulf War, and The Second Gulf War.Chapter 7; Guerrilla WarfarePurpose of Guerrilla Warfare or Blitzkrieg, Blitzkrieg vs guerrilla Strategy, Strategy and tactics of Guerrilla Warfare, Vietnam war and Afghanistan war.Chapter 8; Amphibious OperationsWorld War 2: D-Day, What was the Allies' plan?
