How did the British feel about guerrilla warfare during the American Revolutionary War?
During the revolutionary War (1775-1783) the British Army considered Americans to be cowards and acting in an un-gentlemanly manner, by deploying such tactics (guerilla warfare). Guerilla war was dirty fighting and un-civilized. Yes, it depends on which war is referred to. The Spanish Guerillos in the Peninsular war were a very big thorn in the side of the French invaders in the Napoleonic wars, aiding Wellingtons campaign more than the regular Spanish forces ever did. I suppose the Chindits of WW2 in Burma might well be considered Guerillas, against the Japanese. Guerilla is spanish for little war.
