WAR AND MILITARY DOCTRINE IN THE YEARS 1921-1939
Journal Title: Scientific Journal of the Military University of Land Forces - Year 2012, Vol 164, Issue 2
Abstract
Theoretical military thought from the interwar period pointed towards the issues of war and war doctrines many times. The views of the nature of future war developed in the context of real conditions, formed after World War I. Many interpretations of war and military doctrine were developed, including their objectives. The main goal was to leave the idea of positional warfare. It has been suggested that future war would be maneuvering, coalitional and total.Among military theorists, and not only, the opinion prevailed that the effectiveness of military doctrine, and also the effectiveness of war, will depend on the organization of armed forces. This means the principles and methods to change the forms of living and material forces of the nation into national defense. The war was not anymore among the armed forces but it became the war of the nations. It was important to find ways and methods to defend the nation, using not only armed forces, but also all the areas of life of the nation. It would mainly depend on the co-operation between civilian and military authorities.
