Since the mere existence of "generations" in modern warfare is subject to ongoing debate, I prefer to delete these links to other non-existing CZ entries. They could be re-inserted later, when basic facts about modern warfare would be laid down in this entry and ongoing debates introduced. For now, I think it's better not to take position on this debate and to replace the subcategories with more neutral ones.

Fair enough.

Even if it may prove useful to distinguish, until 19th century, warfare in Europe and in the Asian, African or American continents, don't you think maintaining such a separation in the "modern" era looses its meaning?

It is true that in the modern era there has been much cross-pollination between various cultures in the practices of war, but each still has distinct military philosophies and doctrines which characterize the way they fight. The ongoing development of Chinese military doctrine is very distinct from the way most Western nations think about warfare, shaped as they are by very long histories of military thought.--David Marcoe 01:16, 14 April 2007 (CDT)

Isn't 'Modern Warfare' the same all over the World ?
