Abstract

ABSTRACT The paper probes colonial counterinsurgency operations in Northeast India and Northwest Burma from the First Anglo-Burmese War (1825–26) to the end of the First World War. While the nature and objective of insurgency movements differ from raid to resistance and then to a full-scale war or gal against the colonial ruler, colonial counterinsurgency operations also employed different strategies and tactics. The paper argues that in its desperate attempt to bring the opponents to submission, colonial rulers turned what they initially considered as ‘petty warfare’ into ‘savage warfare’, beyond the framework of the principles and practice of ‘small wars’.

小规模战争是“野蛮战争”:重新思考印度东北部和缅甸西北部的殖民反叛乱行动(1826-1919)
本文探讨了从第一次英缅战争(1825-26)到第一次世界大战结束,印度东北部和缅甸西北部的殖民地平叛行动。虽然叛乱运动的性质和目标不同,从突袭到抵抗,再到针对殖民统治者的全面战争或政变,但殖民地反叛乱行动也采用了不同的战略和战术。该论文认为,殖民统治者在不顾一切地试图让反对者屈服的过程中,将他们最初认为的“小规模战争”变成了“野蛮战争”,超出了“小型战争”的原则和实践的框架。
