Detailed explanation-1: -Guerrilla warfare is a form of irregular warfare in which small groups of combatants, such as paramilitary personnel, armed civilians, or irregulars, use military tactics including ambushes, sabotage, raids, petty warfare, hit-and-run tactics, and mobility, to fight a larger and less-mobile traditional military.
Detailed explanation-2: -One of the most successful guerrilla wars was led by George Kastrioti Skanderbeg against the invading Ottoman Empire. In 1443 he rallied Albanian forces and drove the Turks from his homeland.
Detailed explanation-3: -George Washington suffered numerous defeats at the hands of the British. But by using guerrilla tactics, he altered the course of the American Revolution.
Detailed explanation-4: -Guerrilla tactics were used to aggravate or funnel the British into a larger military encounter. One of the best examples of this is the Battle of Saratoga in New York. Militia units from across New York and New England picked at British forces.
