Conflict and War

Conflict and War refer to the state of armed hostilities and disputes between organized groups, typically nations or political factions. Conflict is generally seen as a broader term that encompasses various forms of disagreement or opposition, including social, economic, and political disputes. When such disputes escalate to the point of armed violence, they are classified as war. War is characterized by sustained combat, significant mobilization of resources, and organized military forces aiming to achieve specific goals, such as territorial gain, political dominance, or ideological supremacy. The complexities of conflict and war often involve historical grievances, cultural tensions, and the struggle for power and resources, and they can have profound social, economic, and humanitarian impacts on societies involved.
