QUÉ SIGNIFICA SIEGE EN INGLÉS

Cerco

Siege

Un asedio es un bloqueo militar de una ciudad o fortaleza con la intención de conquistar por desgaste o asalto. El término deriva de sedere, latín para "sentarse". La guerra de asedio es una forma de conflicto constante y de baja intensidad, caracterizada por el hecho de que una parte mantiene una posición defensiva fuerte y estática. En consecuencia, no es infrecuente una oportunidad de negociación entre combatientes, ya que la proximidad y la fluctuación de las ventajas pueden fomentar la diplomacia. Un asedio ocurre cuando un atacante encuentra una ciudad o fortaleza que no puede ser fácilmente tomada por un golpe de estado y se niega a rendirse. Los asedios implican rodear el objetivo y bloquear el refuerzo o el escape de tropas o la provisión de suministros, típicamente junto con intentos de reducir las fortificaciones mediante motores de asedio, bombardeo de artillería, minería o el uso de engaño o traición para evitar las defensas. A falta de un resultado militar, los asedios a menudo pueden decidirse por la inanición, la sed o la enfermedad, que pueden afectar tanto al atacante como al defensor. Los asedios probablemente preceden al desarrollo de las ciudades como grandes centros de población.

A siege is a military blockade of a city or fortress with the intent of conquering by attrition or assault. The term derives from sedere, Latin for "to sit". Siege warfare is a form of constant, low-intensity conflict characterized by one party holding a strong, static defensive position. Consequently, an opportunity for negotiation between combatants is not uncommon, as proximity and fluctuating advantage can encourage diplomacy. A siege occurs when an attacker encounters a city or fortress that cannot be easily taken by a coup de main and refuses to surrender. Sieges involve surrounding the target and blocking the reinforcement or escape of troops or provision of supplies, typically coupled with attempts to reduce the fortifications by means of siege engines, artillery bombardment, mining, or the use of deception or treachery to bypass defences. Failing a military outcome, sieges can often be decided by starvation, thirst or disease, which can afflict either the attacker or defender. Sieges probably predate the development of cities as large population centres.
