How did the French Republic change the nature of modern warfare?

Napoleon developed the use of massed battlefield artillery. Rifled Infantry weapons began to improve, leading to the improved effectiveness of light infantry as opposed to the mass column. As Infantry became more potent Cavalry began to lose its battlefield supremacy. Technological improvements in time make Artillery more deadly and accurate. By the First world War the Tank & Aeroplane appear. The first use of Chemical weapons. WW2 brings Radar & the Jet Engine.The British begin the use of 'Special Forces' in the desert campaign (The LRDG). Japan uses Suicide bombing with the Kamakazi attack. The Germans use the first Ballistic Missile, the V2.Even now warfare is changing in Afghanistan & Iraq, the individual soldier on the ground now has more power than ever before. Satelite technology revolutionises communications.


How many soldiers were in a troop for World War 2?

A "troop" would normally indicate a single unit of a body of troops. However, the military use is as a subunit equivalent to a "platoon" consisting of two or more squads. A modern infantry platoon would typically be between 15 and 30 soldiers, and a squad between 8 and 12 soldiers.In World War 2, however, the basic rifle squad consisted of 12 men, and there were usually 3 squads per platoon, which with command personnel made a platoon (troop) 45 to 50 men, commanded by a commissioned officer.(With a squad leader and assistant squad leader, and two or more heavy weapons, such as the BAR and submachine gun, a squad would often split up and engage tactically in 6-man teams.)


Was a samurai like a soldier?

A samurai was exactly like a soldier. They were trained in many different weapons, and obeyed their daimyo (lord/commander), regardless of what the order was, so pretty much exactly like a modern-day soldier. I'm speaking of course about the samurai class in general, not individuals, as samurai were obviously very different people when compared to modern day soldiers.
