Conflict and War

Conflict and War refer to organized, ongoing confrontations between groups or nations that often involve armed forces. Conflict generally denotes a broader categorization of disagreement or struggle, which can be social, political, or economic in nature, while war specifically denotes extreme forms of conflict that manifest as violent confrontations with sustained military engagement. Such events often entail significant mobilization of resources, loss of life, and impacts on society, economy, and international relations. Wars can arise from various causes, including territorial disputes, the quest for power, ideological differences, and resource scarcity. The study of conflict and war examines the origins, causes, strategies, implications, and resolutions associated with these events, as well as their impact on human history and societal evolution.
