TACTICA INFANTERIEI ÎN RĂZBOAIELE DE LA MIJLOCUL SECOLULUI AL 19-LEA: O PROBLEMĂ ISTORIOGRAFICĂ.

Tactics is a classic field of study in military history, which has been radically transformed by research in recent decades. Our paper aims to investigate how, since the 1970s, historical studies of tactics have developed new concepts, introduced new themes, and highlighted new aspects of this field of research. We have only considered the studies regarding the period 1850-1880, when there was an intense debate within the ranks of the European armies over the tactics that had to be developed as a result of the adoption of new infantry armament. The recent research carried out on the Western armies from the second half of the 19th century offers an interesting starting point for reappraising the history of the Romanian army.
