Modern Western War is really a direct offshoot of the intensive, decisive, quick battles that the Ancient Greeks waged among themselves.
[This is a name I'll bet you never heard of. This is the first White man I've come across who developed his own tactics to kill the Blacks and drive them away. Look at the tricks he used during the first race wars, the Xhosa wars, and how many Blacks he killed at a time. Jan]
This is what Wikipedia says about his methods:-
The First Frontier War broke out in 1779 between Boer frontiersmen and the Xhosa. In December 1779, an armed clash occurred, resulting from allegations of cattle theft by Xhosa people. In November 1780, the Cape governor, Baron van Plettenberg declared that the eastern border of the Cape colony was the entire length of the Great Fish river despite that many Xhosa polities were already established west of the river, and no negotiations revolving around this decision were made with them before so.[7] Van Plettenberg appointed Adreaan Van Jaarsveld to lead commandoes to force the Xhosa to move east of the river, if they were unresponsive to requests to do so. This led to multiple attacks by the commandoes to forcefully remove Xhosa polities out of the area. When the imiDange refused to move, Van Jaarsveld and his commandoes had their chief, Jalamba, agree to another meeting for discussions. During the meeting he scattered large amounts of tobacco around and let the Xhosa have it. While some were distracted picking up the tobacco, Van Jaarsveld and his gunmen proceeded to shoot at them leading to a death toll of anywhere from 100 to 200, including Jalamba.[8][7] Soon after this, the Van Jaarsveld commandoes began attacking and looting the cattle of multiple other chiefdoms in the Zuurveld which included the amaGwali, amaNtinde, and amaMbalu. A large amount of the Xhosa population west of the river became dispersed and Van Jaarsveld disbanded his commandoes on July 19, 1781, feeling as if he fulfilled his job at expelling the Xhosa although many of them were able to move back into the area soon after.[8][7]
