Talk:African military systems after 1900

Created page with outline. Not all events can be covered so only important developments like the algerian War, Ethiopia, survey of southern african conflicts, rise of terrorism, coups civil wars etc- blurbs on each etc, basically military systems keep evolving and growing.

Obviously every minor skrimish or revolt cannot be covered. There should be some significant illustration of a war event, tactical system, weapons system or general trend or pattern. It should be kept military and be of some significance. A nationalist political rally or demonstration might have set the stage for something bigger politically but doesnt really belong here. Likewise a small rebellion like the Bambata rebellion in Zululand would not make the cut. If it was one of a series of guerrilla rebellions across the region then it would form part of a general warfare pattern and would be significant, but it was not part of any such pattern. Just some guidelines. Any interested- go for it!
