** 02-Jun-2020 World View: Civil war
During the Revolutionary war, it was the British army vs the Colonial
army. During the Civil War, it was the Northern army vs the Southern
army. Today, there are no such armies.
China's previous crisis wars, the Taiping Rebellion and the Communist
Revolution, were both organic wars.
