Military Science

Military History is a component of military science, dedicated to the origin, construction and actions of the armed forces (military formations) of the countries  or peoples of the world. In addition to history, military history contains elements of political science and communications, since it should assess the political context and circumstances that affect the course of the war. In addition, military history assesses the successes or failures of the armies, analyzes the causes of successes and failures, identifies the most successful strategies and make the basis for the theory of military affairs on the basis of this background. Usually, military history curricula are dedicated to specific wars or military events. The main difficulty in studying military history is connected with the secrecy of many military events, therefore it is sometimes very difficult to restore the correct course of events.
