In another order of ideas, and in the study of the different struggles for power, territory, injustice, among others, we observe how the most vulnerable parties have developed a type of war that has been able in one way or another to fight that giant, from the time of Goliath until today, facts that have been mutating, and it is there the main point of study as the second point in this work, called the polyformism of the revolutionary war.
