Guardians of empire

The armed forces of the colonial powers c. 1700–1964

Editors: David Killingray

 and David Omissi

For imperialists, the concept of guardian is specifically to the armed forces that kept watch on the frontiers and in the heartlands of imperial territories. Large parts of Asia and Africa, and the islands of the Pacific and the Caribbean were imperial possessions. This book discusses how military requirements and North Indian military culture, shaped the cantonments and considers the problems posed by venereal diseases and alcohol, and the sanitary strategies pursued to combat them. The trans-border Pathan tribes remained an insistent problem in Indian defence between 1849 and 1947. The book examines the process by which the Dutch elite recruited military allies, and the contribution of Indonesian soldiers to the actual fighting. The idea of naval guardianship as expressed in the campaign against the South Pacific labour trade is examined. The book reveals the extent of military influence of the Schutztruppen on the political developments in the German protectorates in German South-West Africa and German East Africa. The U.S. Army, charged with defending the Pacific possessions of the Philippines and Hawaii, encountered a predicament similar to that of the mythological Cerberus. The regimentation of military families linked access to women with reliable service, and enabled the King's African Rifles to inspire a high level of discipline in its African soldiers, askaris. The book explains the political and military pressures which drove successive French governments to widen the scope of French military operations in Algeria between 1954 and 1958. It also explores gender issues and African colonial armies.Show Less

对于帝国主义者来说，守卫者的概念是专门指在帝国领土的边疆和腹地守望的武装力量。亚洲和非洲的大部分地区，以及太平洋和加勒比海的岛屿都是帝国的财产。这本书讨论了军事要求和北印度军事文化如何塑造营地，并考虑了性病和酒精带来的问题，以及为对抗这些疾病而采取的卫生策略。1849 年至 1947 年间，跨界的帕坦部落一直是印度国防中的一个顽固问题。这本书审视了荷兰精英招募军事盟友的过程，以及印度尼西亚士兵在实际战斗中的贡献。研究了反对南太平洋劳务贸易运动中所表达的海军监护思想。Schutztruppen关于德属西南非洲和德属东非的德国保护国的政治发展。负责保卫菲律宾和夏威夷太平洋领地的美国陆军遇到了与神话中的地狱犬类似的困境。军人家庭的军团将获得妇女与可靠的服务联系起来，并使国王的非洲步枪能够激发其非洲士兵askaris的高度纪律。这本书解释了 1954 年至 1958 年间促使历届法国政府扩大法国在阿尔及利亚军事行动范围的政治和军事压力。它还探讨了性别问题和非洲殖民军队。显示较少
