Description

Gain a deep understanding of African conflict through the Historical Dictionary of Civil Wars in Africa. Published by Scarecrow Press, this essential reference covers the complex history of warfare on the continent from the end of World War II through the post-colonial era. Since 1960, when seventeen African colonies gained independence, the continent has faced diverse military challenges. This book tracks the evolution of these struggles, from liberation movements against colonial powers to internal power struggles following independence. It provides context for border wars between new states and civil wars fought between ethnic groups. Readers can examine how outside forces and major global powers intervened in these local conflicts, shaping the geopolitical landscape of Africa. Whether you are studying military history, political science, or African studies, this dictionary serves as a comprehensive resource for understanding the roots and progression of regional unrest and revolution.
