A plus for every war

When I first stumbled across our article on the Uganda–Tanzania War in early July 2018, it was rated at C-class and had a readable prose size of 7726 bytes. The accompanying campaignbox template of battles had three red links and two blue links to actual articles. Of these articles, one—Battle of Lukaya—was three short paragraphs with a single source, and the other—Fall of Kampala—was a five-sentence stub. It struck me as very disappointing that the Fall of Kampala was so poorly covered, since it marked a major event in history—the overthrow of Idi Amin, the installation of a new Ugandan government, and first-time seizure of an African capital by a foreign African country in the post-colonial era. I began work on improving the article in earnest in October of that year, and after several months was able to, with the much needed assistance of other editors, bring it up to Featured Article status.

I had originally envisioned this as a one-time foray into an area outside of my regular content domain, but I quickly realized that by doing so much work to improve one section of content on the wider war, I had "broken the ice" and made it much easier for both myself and others to shore up the rest of the topic.

The article now has a readable prose size of 76 kilobytes.

Modern African military historiography is lacking.

The Second Fall of Rhodesia: A Cautionary Tale

"With very few exceptions, post-colonial conflicts are largely warless wars in much of the literature. Though Southern African conflicts, such as the Rhodesian Bush War and the South African Border War have extensive military historiographies, other wars, like the Ethiopian-Somali Ogaden war, despite their scale and even international dimensions, have left a very small imprint in military matters."[1]

"Much has been written about the Rhodesian 'bush war' [...] Many of these writings are popularized accounts of the war, focusing, in the main, on the catalogue of fighting experiences. In so doing they, at worst, risk mythologizing the war's conduct. At best, they risk removing the bush war from the political context of the time."[2]
