Abstract: Rene Descartes developed the principle of the scientific method as a reasoning that avoids errors of judgment and discovers the truth by respecting four precepts (critical restraint; rule of synthesis; rule of enumeration) that can be applied in any science, therefore also in military science. Using this principle, this article demonstrates that the hypotheses and predictions formulated after the end of the First World War (the Great War) are verified and validated in the Second World War. Therefore. the theory of knowledge developed by Descartes can also be applied in military science. Keywords: military science, theory of knowledge, principle of scientific method, hypotheses, predictions.
