CONT

D'après la théorie de Lind, la guerre de première génération (G1G) est définie comme étant linéaire, avec un certain « ordre » militaire et les États-nations y jouissent d'un monopole face au recours à la guerre pour atteindre des objectifs politiques.

Les guerres de première génération se caractérisaient par leurs effectifs massifs, leur point culminant se situant pendant les guerres napoléoniennes.
