恩格斯在长期的理论创造活动中,为了给无产阶级进行暴力革命提供理论上的指导,用极大的精力和热情,悉心研究军事问题,先后读过250余册各类军事著作,研究了18、19世纪各次重大战争,特别是1848—1849年欧洲人民武装斗争历史的详细资料,撰写了150余万字的军事历史和理论著作。从这些著作中,我们不仅可以获得许多至今仍闪烁着真理光芒的军事理论原则,同时也可以学习恩格斯研究军事历史的方法。 (一) 历史方法和逻辑方法,是恩格斯研究军事历史的基本方法。恩格斯在《卡尔·马克思〈政治经济学批判〉》一书中,首次使用了历史方法和逻辑方法,尔后在整个科学研究活动中,包括对军事历史的研究,始终坚持历史方法和逻辑方法的辩证统一,在研究大量历史资料的基础上,抽象出人类社会军事活动的规律以及军事历史发展的公理性认识。他运用历史方法研究军事领域诸多方面的发展轨迹,以 Engels, in his long-term theoretical creation activities, provided theoretical guidance for violent revolutions of the proletariat and devoted himself to studying military issues with great energy and enthusiasm.

In his book Karl Marx Critique of Political Economy, Engels firstly used the historical method and logic method. Later on, in the whole scientific research activity, including the study of military history, he persisted in the dialectic of historical method and logical method On the basis of studying a great deal of historical data, we abstract the law of military activities in human society and the axiomatic understanding of military history. He used historical methods to study the development trajectory of many aspects of the military field
