The book brings a great picture about the lives of people who lived in Illinois in 1800s. In it, Faragher examined the development of the Sugar Creek area of Sangamon County, Illinois from 1817 through the 1880s.

Commerce, art, health, political organization; every aspect of their lives is related to what happens in and about the lakes.

| | | | Using examples from H100, explain Geoffrey Parker’s concept of the “Western way of war.” How does the “Western way of war” influence current US actions in Afghanistan and Iraq? Many argue that Western warfare is irrelevant in today’s environment, however, Geoffrey Parker’s five principles of Western war remain influential in the U.S conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. In describing Western warfare, Parker states that the concept rests the five principles of technology, discipline, aggressive military tradition, the ability to finance wars, and innovation. In applying the principles to our current conflicts, all five are relevant and impact our operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. Examples that support the relevance and influence of Parker’s principles during Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) are the rapid acquisition of the Mine Resistant, Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicle, the Army Force Generation (ARFORGEN) model and troop surges in both conflicts.

This type of war followed a set of rules like the Geneva Convention and with an enemy we knew and the methods and means at their disposal. General Sir Rupert Smith said it best though “It is now time to recognize that a paradigm shift in war has undoubtedly occurred.” As we begin to come to grips with a war that has been protracted now for over ten years, and just reached a milestone of 2,000 killed in action (KIA), some basic questions still remain about our current and future adversaries. Are they state sponsored, an organization, network, movement or ideology that we find ourselves fighting? What are their long term objectives and do they have a Clausewitz type center of gravity, or should we even use the term enemy or just terrorist?
key causes of war: Depending on which conflict that is being referred to the key causes of war are many and very broad. The key causes that are put foward include the theory of Structuralism which refers to the changing in the distribution of power within the global system as the primary factor in determining a states behavior.
