Making the enemy think you are going to do something different to what you are actually going to do, or deluding him into thinking that you have equipment that you don't have. For example, in WW2 a dead body in uniform was put into the Mediterranean Sea. The body had papers on it which were designed to make the Germans think that the allies were going to attack in Greece, not Sicily. They then attacked in Sicily and the Germans were not ready for this.
Also lifelike model aeroplanes and tanks were made to make the enemy think we had equipment to bomb, and so waste the bombs.
Carl von Clausewitz, in his seminal work "On War," emphasizes that deception is a crucial element of warfare. He argues that war is not just a clash of arms but also a contest of wills, where misleading the enemy can provide a significant advantage. Deception can take many forms, including misinformation and feigned movements, and is essential to create uncertainty and exploit the opponent's vulnerabilities. Ultimately, Clausewitz views deception as an integral part of strategy, underscoring its importance in achieving military objectives.
Surprise means to keep hidden so the enemy doesn't know anything about it until it is executed. Deception is to mis-lead the enemy into thinking something is or isn't going to happen. Often deception is a big reason that surprise can occur.
Benedict Arnold is a well-known person from the American Revolutionary War period because of his curious combination of honor and courage, on the one hand, and, on the other, dishonor and deception. He began the war as a dashing officer fighting for independence. Later, he attempted to betray his fellow Americans by offering war-secrets to the British and planning to switch allegiances altogether.
American criticism of the Vietnam War increased due to several factors, including the rising number of American casualties, the graphic media coverage that brought the brutal realities of war into people's living rooms, and the perception that the war was unwinnable. Additionally, the release of information such as the Pentagon Papers revealed government deception about the war's progress and objectives, fueling public distrust. The anti-war movement gained momentum as more Americans questioned the morality and justification of U.S. involvement in Vietnam.
It really was not appeasement that lead to war it was the deception by Hitler that angered the nations who signed non-aggression pacts with Hitler. They declared war on him when he attacked Poland (who had not signed a non-aggression pact with Hitler). In truth it was not the violation of appeasement non-aggression pacts that started the war it was the violation of the Treaty of Versailles that incensed the French and Brits. They declared war after Hitler went after Poland with a military force he was not supposed to have and for an aggression he was not supposed to carry out.
