Students of History, SU and others
Is anybody aware of any conflicts where the combatants were interspersed partially throughout a population and some of the combatants used terror against civilian populations where the subduing power won?
The closest I have come, is in the UK Northern Ireland conflict. However, I'm not certain that Britain ever succeeded in the Middle East or India. Any world historians aware of any situations where the terroists ultimately did not win, i.e., driving the "occupiers" from their lands? |
How about the American Civil War?
|
Not really.
In that one, one side had an army which could be defeated and thus occupation set in. I imagine there were some terroistic actions taken after the War, but ... I don't think that qualifies. |
Chechnya?

I'm not aware of a committed guerilla war ever failing. |

The US should rarely if ever anticipate becoming an occupying force. Hit and run should be the only policy ever envisaged, given our limited political resolve. |
