	Mercenary - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mercenaries fought for the Biafrans in the 4th Commando Brigade during the Nigerian Civil War, (1967-1970).
		Swiss mercenaries were sought after during the late 15th and early 16th centuries as being an effective fighting force, until their somewhat rigid battle formations became vulnerable to arquebuses and artillery being developed at about that period.
		It was then that the German landsknechts, colorful mercenaries with a redoubtable reputation, took over the Swiss forces' legacy and became the most formidable force of the late 15th and throughout the 16th century, being hired by all the powers in Europe and often fighting at opposite sides.

	Mercenary War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The war began as a dispute between the mercenary armies who fought the First Punic War on Carthage's behalf, and a destitute Carthage (who had lost most of its wealth due to the indemnities imposed by Rome as part of the peace treaty) over payment of money owed the mercenaries.
		The mercenaries were angered at the rejection of their demands, and were mistrustful of Hanno, much preferring to deal with the commanders they had served under in Sicily (such as Hamilcar) who had seen their worth and furthermore made promises to them.
		Given their newly strengthened bargaining position, the mercenaries vastly inflated their original demands, even requiring the extension of the payments to the Libyans whom Carthage had conscripted (and who were not mercenaries) as well as other Numidians and to the escaped slaves and the like who had joined their ranks against Carthage.

	Nicaragua - Central America: nicaragua republic, continues struggle, american mercenary, civil war, strong u
		In the 1990s Nicaragua was among the poorest nations in Central America, after suffering from years of corrupt dictatorships, natural disasters, revolution, and civil war.
		Disputes and warfare between Liberal and Conservative factions were constant during the country’s first century, and armed U.S. forces intervened several times: in the 1850s, when an American mercenary took over Nicaragua, and between 1912 and 1933, when U.S. Marines were stationed there to impose order.
		However, these efforts declined as the government fought a devastating civil war through the 1980s against rebels, known as contras, who were supported by the United States and Nicaragua’s neighbor Honduras.
