Partner Discussion When studying 20th century warfare, IB divides the conflicts into different types of war (total, limited, guerilla, civil, revolutionary). Is it possible for a war to be multiple types? Why or why not? Think of some examples!!! How did WWII impact European empires & colonies? Who was Charles de Gaulle?
