The Second Boer War would be a classic example. The British faced guerilla warfare from the Boers who were dressed in regular clothing sniping at British soldiers. The British became frustrated with guerilla warfare in the First Boer War and eventually gave up (though their peace treaty gave a victory on paper to the British). In the Second, the British crushed the Boer resistance.

I am not sure why I wanted to make this point, but there you have it. Btw, I think Saddam did attempt to assert imperial control over the kurds and the Kurds are not the minority in significant parts of northern Iraq. Do you disagree with those statements?
