Abstract
This article examines the Amritsar Slaughter of 1919, one of the most infamous episodes in British imperialism, from the viewpoint of the British Army's concept of employing the minimum amount of force required to achieve objectives. The massacre has been remembered ever since it happened as the worst failure to use little force in British Army history. For those who did not agree with Brigadier General Reginald Dyer, the massacre at Amritsar may have seemed like the insane actions of a bloodthirsty fool. The notion of civic-military links was likely well established at the time of the war, since the idea that a civil judge and a military commander should work together to put down a riot is indicative of this. However, the local Amritsaris definitely turned over city governance to the military forces without playing a direct involvement in the events leading up to that point. It's possible that reluctance to become engaged, ignorance of obligations, or both played roles here. There's no denying that the military has assumed civil authority in this city. In this study, the commonly held idea that the murder at Amritsar was an example of the ineffectiveness of utilising little force is challenged via a fresh look at the arguments surrounding the killing and the role of Brigadier-General Dyer.
