Civil Wars Throughout the World
In pursuit of its primary mission, the United States Civil War Center has set as its primary goal for 1999 the creation of a separate page for each profession, occupation, and academic discipline to provide factual, exploratory, and speculative perspectives on the Civil War. The material you find on this page represents a beginning; whether modest or ambitious, it is only a beginning.
Purpose of the Interdisciplinary Project
From the Contributor:
These are my first preliminary questions and notes for a course and subsequently
for an article and/or book. I have not yet started research. What follows is
pretty much from memory of stored knowledge (risking a little inaccuracy) and
what I had time to set down. I welcome any and all suggestions. I asked Secretary
of State Madeline Allbright whether in her work she would benefit from having
a book, written somewhat in the manner of Machiavelli's The Prince, describing
Civil War per se, with examples from throughout history, worldwide. She replied,
enthusiastically, yes! Perhaps such a book would help leaders avoid Civil War,
or conduct it with better understanding of its nature, and emerge from it with
fewer long-term negative effects.

Currently, this page is incomplete, but we hope you will not
leave it so.
The Center welcomes the participation of experts in the creation of each page.
Non-experts may also contribute by making comments that open up inquiry
or by asking specific or general questions.
