Abstract

In today's world, we can point to many international disputes and interstate conflicts fueled by past events. Historical resentments or memories of past suffering or fame are often used to justify political, economic and even territorial demands. Inter-state disputes and historical conflicts should be understood as evidence of political and social tensions related to active, serious differences in the assessment of the common past. The book explains the role of such conflicts in international relations and suggests ways of classifying them. It presents examples of the internationally relevant instrumentalisation of history from different regions of the world and outlines ways of overcoming them.

Abstract

War is always related to many different aspects, e.g. religion, technology etc. However, one of the aspects of central importance for the history of warfare is geography. The present volume will analyze this interrelationship from several different perspectives.Geography is not only integral to the planning of tactics and strategies, but plays an important role in the outcome of war and its longterm aftermath. Furthermore, the interplay between war and geography is not purely a modern phenomenon but can be traced back through the ages of history. Geography always had the potential of providing an advantage or disadvantage. The aim of the volume is to grant historical perspectives on that special interrelationship in different time periods and regional settings. The purpose is to provide a deeper insight and an interdisciplinary discussion, which will open new perspectives on military history in general and the history of warfare in particular.

Abstract

Die Geschichte des Krieges als Geschichte des Todes zu schreiben, führt ins Zentrum einer Militärgeschichte als Geschichte organisierter Gewalt. Das gegenseitige Töten und die Toten bilden eine elementare Herausforderung kriegerischen Planens, Handelns und Denkens. Jede Gesellschaft, heroisch oder postheroisch, ist auf die Unterstützung zumindest eines Teiles ihrer Mitglieder angewiesen, um Kriege zu führen. Der Rechtfertigungsdruck, den Kriege erzeugen, nimmt durch Anzahl und Qualität der Kriegstoten zu. Diese werden heroisiert, marginalisiert, ökonomisiert, kontextualisiert oder geleugnet.
