摘要

这篇短文阐述了欧洲军队在19世纪帝国主义的“小规模战争”中所采用的理论和实践是在殖民征服的独特现代和全球背景下产生的军事创新。殖民地的军事经验催生了新的战术和战略,这些战术和战略被英国和法国的军事理论家写在论文中,同时它们也改变了殖民地的战争性质——通常具有毁灭性的影响。为应对这些“小型战争”而发展起来的军事方法具有重要的遗产,既塑造了后殖民时期非洲军事行动的轮廓,也为21世纪的全球“反叛乱”理论做出了贡献。了解产生殖民暴力的具体历史背景,有助于更全面地理解帝国战争的意义、影响和多重遗产。

Sizing Up the “Small Wars” of African Empire
This short essay makes the case that the theories and practices employed by European armies during the “small wars” of nineteenth-century imperialism were military innovations produced within the distinctly modern and global context of colonial conquest. Colonial military experiences spurred new tactics and strategies which were captured in treatises written by British and French military theorists at the same time that they transformed the nature of warfare in colonized spaces—often with devastating effects. Military approaches developed in response to these “small wars” have important legacies, both in shaping the contours of military operations within postcolonial Africa and contributing to worldwide “counterinsurgency” theories of the twenty-first century. Understanding the specific historical context in which colonial violence was produced can contribute to a fuller understanding of the meaning, impact and multiple legacies of imperial warfare.
