Guerrilla warfare (Spanish: guerrilla "small war") is warfare where one or more sides use unconventional tactics such as stealth, intelligence, sabotage, assassination and espionage, combined with small raids against larger more conventional forces.[1] The Spanish resistance to Napoleon after their nation had been "defeated" is a classic example of guerrilla warfare.[2] Other oft drawn-upon examples of guerrilla warfare are those of the Colonial troops during the Revolutionary War and the Viet Cong resistance during the Vietnam War.
