The aim of this course is to introduce students into the issues of war and battle activity.  The key issues discussed include: (i) Ability of political units to wage a war; (ii) Strategic feasibility of conflict; (iii) Role of space and distance in military affairs (strategic and tactical level); (iv) Tactical patterns on the battlefield. The course is structured along three basic military levels - strategic, operational and tactical. ON WAR I. discusses military issues from ancient Greece to 1st WW. Modern epoch is discussed in the ON WAR II course, which takes place at the summer semester. At the end of the semester students should be able to understand main aspects of wars in the pre-modern era. They should understand reasons for development in military issues over the past 2 000 years. In addition, effects of military competition on (i) international system formation and (ii) formation of modern nation-state will be discussed. Further students will gain notion of basic terms like strategy, tactic, or terms connected with military organization (like company, battalion, regiment, division etc.).
