  Street fighting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The term "street fighting" is sometimes used to describe military combat between opposing armies (regular or irregular) within a city as part of a war, civil war or revolution.
Factional street fighting differs from war in that governments are not usually involved, modern weapons and soldiers are not involved, and the intent is not usually to kill.
Street fighting was also a byproduct of the 1934 Minneapolis General Strike which saw confrontations between "workers defense brigades" set up by the Teamsters union and representatives of business owners as well as the police.

In some cases the entire street was included within the zone of a unit; in other cases the boundaries were drawn down the middle of the street.
