Actually, I don't really like the topic above. I don't like war..because war
means bombing, tank, attack, gun shoots everywhere then many innocent people get
killed. Women and childrens lost their father..their brother. No place to stay because
it ruin by bomb. War is nothing but human ego. To show whose the strong and powerfull. In war there is
no winner...even they won the war. What exactly war is? War is a conflict carried
on by force of arms, as between nations or between parties within a nation; warfare,
as by land, sea, or air. (a state or period of armed hostility or active military
operations: The two nations were at war with each other a contest carried on by
force of arms, as in a series of battles)
War is an organized and often prolonged conflict that is carried out by states
or non-state. It is generally characterised by extreme violence, social disruption
and economic destruction. War should be understood as an actual, intentional and
widespread armed conflict between political communities and therefore is defined
as a form of political violence or intervention. The set of techniques used by a
group to carry out war is known as warfare. An absence of war is usually called
peace.
Here, I'll give you a list of 10 Most Famous War in History ever :
1. World War II
World War II ( WWII or WW2 ), also known as the Second World War, was a global
war that lasted from 1939 to 1945. It involved the vast majority of the world's
nations including all of the great powers, eventuallyforming two opposing military
alliances: the Allies and the Axis. It was the most widespread war in history, and
directly involved more than 100 million people, from more than 30 different countries.
In a state of "total war ", the major participants threw their entire
economic, industrial and scientific capabilities behind the war effort, erasing
the distinction between civilian and military resources. Marked by mass deaths of
civilians, including the Holocaust, the strategic bombing of enemy industrial and/or
population centers. In World War II first use of nuclear weapon, it resulted in
an estimated 50 million to 85 million fatalities. These made World War II the deadliest
conflict in human history .
2. World War I
The main causes of World War I, which began in central Europe in late July 1914,
included many factors, such as the conflicts and hostility between the great European
powers of the four decades leading up to the war. Militarism, alliances, imperialism
and nationalism played major roles in the conflict as well. The immediate origins
of the war, however, lay in the decisions taken by statesmen and generals during
the July Crisis of 1914 caused by the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand
and his wife Sophie by Gavrilo Princip , an ethnic Serb and Yugoslav nationalist
from the group Young Bosnia , which was supported by the Black Hand , a nationalist
organization in Serbia.
3. American Civil War
The American Civil War, also known as the War Between the States or simply the
Civil War was a civil war fought from 1861 to 1865, after seven Southern slave states
declared their secession and formed the Confederate States of America (the "Confederacy"
or the "South", which grew to include eleven states). The states that
remained in the Union were known as the "Union " or the "North".
The war had its origin in the fractious issue of slavery, especially the extension
of slavery into the western territories. Foreign powers did not intervene. After
four years of bloody combat that left over 600,000 Union and Confederate soldiers
dead and destroyed much of the South's infrastructure, the Confederacy collapsed,
slavery was abolished and the difficult Reconstruction process of restoring national
unity and guaranteeing civil rights to the freed slaves began.
4. Crusades War
The Crusades were a series of military campaigns during the time of Medieval
England against the Muslims of the Middle East. In 1076, the Muslims had captured
Jerusalem, the most holy of holy places for Christians. Jesus had been born in nearby
Bethlehem and Jesus had spent most of his life in Jerusalem. He was crucified on
Calvary Hill, also in Jerusalem. There was no more important place on Earth than
Jerusalem for a true Christian which is why Christians called Jerusalem the "City
of God". However, Jerusalem was also extremely important for the Muslims as
Muhammad, the founder of the Muslim faith, had been there and there was great joy
in the Muslim world when Jerusalem was captured. Thus the Christians fought to get
Jerusalem back while the Muslims fought to keep Jerusalem. These wars were to last
nearly 200 years.
5. Vietnam War
The Vietnam War also known as the Second Indochina War and known in Vietnam
as the Resistance War Against America or simply the American War, was a Cold War,
era proxy war that occurred in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia from 1 November 1955 to
the fall of Saigon on 30 April 1975. This war followed the First Indochina War and
was fought between North Vietnam, supported by the Soviet Union, China and other
communist allies and the government of South Vietnam supported by the United States
and other anti-communist allies.The Viet Cong (also known as the National Liberation
Front, or NLF), a lightly armed South Vietnamese communist common front aided by
the North, fought a guerrilla war against anti-communist forces in the region. The
People's Army of Vietnam engaged in a more conventional war, at times committing
large units into battle.
6. Iraq - Iran War - Gulf Conflict
The Iran–Iraq War, also known as the First Persian Gulf War was an armed conflict
between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Republic of Iraq lasting from September
1980 to August 1988, making it the 20th century's longest conventional war. It was
initially referred to in English as the "Gulf War" prior to the Persian
Gulf War of the early 1990s. The Iran–Iraq War began when Iraq invaded Iran via
air and land on 22 September 1980. It followed a long history of border disputes
and was motivated by fears that the Iranian Revolution in 1979 would inspire insurgency
among Iraq's long-suppressed Shia majority as well as Iraq's desire to replace Iran
as the dominant Persian Gulf state. For the next six years, Iran was on the offensive.
7. The Trojan War
The Trojan War, is a war between Greeks and the defenders of the city of Troy
in Anatolia sometime in the late Bronze Age, has grabbed the imagination for millennia.
A conflict between Mycenaeans and Hittites may well have occurred, but its representation
in epic literature such as Homer ’s Iliad is almost certainly more myth than reality.
Nevertheless, it has defined and shaped the way ancient Greek culture has been viewed
right up to the 21st century CE. The story of gods and heroic warriors is perhaps
one of the richest single surviving sources from antiquity and offers insights into
the warfare, religion, customs and attitudes of the ancient Greeks.
8. 'The Cold War' (USA vs USSR*)
The Cold War was a sustained state of political and military tension between
powers in the Western Block, the United States as a NATO allies and others fight
powers in the Eastern Block the Soviet Union and its allies in Warsaw Pact. Historians
have not fully agreed on the dates, but 1947–1991 is common. It was "cold"
because there was no large, scale fighting directly between the two sides. The Cold
War split the temporary wartime alliance against Nazi Germany, leaving the USSR
and the US as two superpowers with profound economic and political differences over
totalitarian communism and capitalist democracy.
9. War in Afghanistan.
The War in Afghanistan (2001–present ) refers to the intervention by North Atlantic
Treat Organisation (NATO) and allied forces in the ongoing Afghan civil war. The
war followed the September 11 attacks, and its public aims were to dismantle al-Qaeda
and eliminate its safe haven by removing the Taliban from power. U.S. President
George W. Bush demanded that the Taliban hand over Osama bin Laden and expel al-Qaeda.
The Taliban requested that bin Laden leave the country, but declined to extradite
him without evidence of his involvement in the 9/11 attacks. The United States refused
to negotiate and launched Operation Enduring Freedom on 7 October 2001 with the
United Kingdom. The two were later joined by other forces, including the Northern
Alliance. The U.S. and its allies drove the Taliban from power and built military
bases near major cities across the country.
10. Persian War
The Greco-Persian Wars also often called the Persian Wars, Greek : were a series
of conflicts between the Achaemenid Empire of Persia and city-states of the Hellenic
world that started in 499 BC and lasted until 449 BC. The collision between the
fractious political world of the Greeks and the enormous empire of the Persians
began when Cyrus the Great conquered Ionia in 547 BC. Struggling to rule the independent-minded
cities of Ionia, the Persians appointed tyrants to rule each of them. This would
prove to be the source of much trouble for the Greeks and Persians alike.
