War is a behaviour pattern exhibited by many primate species including humans,
and
also found in many ant species.
The primary feature of this
behaviour
pattern is a certain state of organized violent conflict that is engaged in between two
or
more separate social entities.
Such a conflict is always an attempt at altering either the psychological hierarchy
or
the material hierarchy of domination
or
equality between two
or
more groups.
In all cases,
at
least one participant (group)
in the conflict perceives the need to either psychologically or materially dominate the other participant.
Amongst humans, the perceived need for domination often arises from the belief that either an ideology is so incompatible, or a resource is so scarce, as to threaten the fundamental existence of the one group experiencing the need to dominate the other group.
Leaders will sometimes enter into a war under the pretext that their actions are primarily defensive, however when viewed objectively, their actions may more closely resemble a form of unprovoked, unwarranted, or disproportionate aggression.In all wars,
the group(s)
experiencing the need to dominate
other group(s)
are
unable and unwilling to accept or permit the possibility of a relationship of fundamental
equality
to exist between the groups who have opted for
group violence
(war).
The aspect of domination that is a precipitating factor in all wars, i.e. one group wishing to dominate another, is also often a precipitating factor in individual one-on-one violence outside of the context of war,
i.e. one individual wishing to dominate another.
In 2003, Nobel Laureate Richard E. Smalley identified war as the sixth
(of ten)
biggest problems facing the
society
of
mankind
{African Americans}
for the next fifty years.
In the 1832 book
"On War",
by Prussian military general and theoretician Carl Von Clausewitz, the author refers to war as the
"continuation of political intercourse, carried on with other means."
War is an interaction in which two or more opposing forces have a
“struggle of wills”.
The term is also used as a metaphor for non-military conflict, such as in the example of class war.
War has generally been considered to be a seemingly inescapable and integral aspect of human culture, its practice not linked to any single type of political organization or society.
Rather, as discussed
by
John Keegan in his History Of Warfare,
war is a universal phenomenon whose form and scope is defined by the society that wages it.
The conduct of war extends along a continuum, from the almost universal primitive local tribal warfare that began well before recorded human history, to advanced nuclear warfare between global alliances, with the recently developed ultimate potential for human extinction.
More recently, other experts Douglas P. Fry and Judith Hand have argued that war only emerges in certain types of societies or cultures, being rare or absent, for example , in nomadic foragers societies and becoming common when humans take up settled living, particularly at the Agricultural Revolution.

We are all human beings, yet we have different views on some issues in life. Why would we try to kill the earth, because of our differences?
We all have and share the same common goal,
SURVIVAL.
Only an idiot would kill
everything
inexistence,
just to live alone on earth, duh.
If you were alone on earth, what would you do?
By yourself?

For the two 20th century conflicts,
see
World War I and World War II.
For the possibility of a third world war,
see
World War III.
A world war is a war affecting the majority of the world's most powerful
and
populous nations.
World wars span multiple countries on multiple continents, with battles fought in multiple theaters, and
last for multiple years.
The term has usually been applied to two conflicts of unprecedented scale that occurred during the 20th century:
World War I (1914–1918),
World War II (1939–1945),
although in retrospect a number of earlier conflicts may be regarded as
"world wars".
The other most common usage of the term is in the context of
World War III,
a phrase usually used
to describe
any
hypothetical
future
global conflict.
