War, also known as armed conflict, is a state of organized and often sustained violent conflict between states, nations, or other groups. It is typically characterized by the use of lethal weapons and military tactics to achieve specific objectives, such as territorial control or political dominance. Wars can arise from a variety of causes, including disputes over land, resources, ideology, religion, or power. They can be fought for defensive or offensive purposes, with both sides often believing that their cause is just and necessary. Wars can also have a profound impact on societies, causing massive loss of life, destruction of infrastructure, displacement of populations, and long-lasting social and economic damage. Throughout history, wars have been a common feature of human civilization. Examples of significant wars include World War I and World War II, which were global conflicts involving multiple nations; the Vietnam War, which was fought between North and South Vietnam with involvement from the United States and other countries; and the Cold War, which was a period of tense ideological and political rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union. Efforts have been made to limit the occurrence of war and promote peaceful resolution of conflicts. International organizations such as the United Nations and treaties such as the Geneva Conventions aim to establish rules and norms for conducting warfare and mediating disputes. However, war continues to be a reality in many parts of the world, highlighting the complex and enduring nature of this phenomenon.
