Guerrilla warfare

1797

Arthur Wellesley (in India 1797-1805) had commanded forces assigned to defeat Pazhassi's techniques, but failed. The Moroccan national hero Abd el-Krim ( - 1963) and his father unified the Moroccan tribes under their control and took up arms against the Spanish and French invaders in 1920.

1809

In correct Spanish usage, a person who is a member of a guerrilla unit is a guerrillero () if male, or a guerrillera ([geriˈʎeɾa]) if female. The term guerrilla was used in English as early as 1809 to refer to the individual fighters (e.g., "The town was taken by the guerrillas"), and also (as in Spanish) to denote a group or band of such fighters.

For the first time in history, tunnel warfare was used alongside modern guerrilla tactics, which caused considerable damage and annoyance to both the colonial armies in Morocco. In the early 20th century Michael Collins and Tom Barry both developed many tactical features of guerrilla warfare during the guerrilla phase of the 1919-1921 Irish War of Independence.

1920

Arthur Wellesley (in India 1797-1805) had commanded forces assigned to defeat Pazhassi's techniques, but failed. The Moroccan national hero Abd el-Krim ( - 1963) and his father unified the Moroccan tribes under their control and took up arms against the Spanish and French invaders in 1920.

The best example of this occurred on Bloody Sunday (21 November 1920), when Collins's assassination unit, known as "The Squad", wiped out a group of British intelligence agents ("the Cairo Gang") early in the morning (14 were killed, six were wounded) - some regular officers were also killed in the purge.

The Kilmichael Ambush in November 1920 and the Crossbarry Ambush in March 1921 are the most famous examples of Barry's flying columns causing large casualties to enemy forces. ==Strategy, tactics and methods== === Strategy === Guerrilla warfare is a type of asymmetric warfare: competition between opponents of unequal strength.
