From ancient fortifications and mediaeval warfare to gunpowder empires and modern mechanised armies, defence has shaped civilisations. Innovations like tanks, radar, nuclear weapons, and cyber warfare reflect ongoing adaptation. Defence history mirrors humanity’s constant pursuit of security and dominance.
