colonial wars  

Définition

  • The term colonial war is used to refer to conflicts fought to determine the future status of potential colonies, or currently held colonies, that generate at least one thousand battlefield casualties per year. This definition may be applied to two distinct categories of conflict: wars fought between great powers over a (potential) colony, and wars fought between a great power and a colony over its future status, otherwise referred to as asymmetric conflicts.
