War
War is a state of prolonged violent, large scale conflict involving two or more groups of people. Wars may be prosecuted simultaneously in one or more different
theaters. Within each theater, there may be one or more consecutive
military campaigns. Individual actions of war within a specific campaign are traditionally called
battles, although this terminology is not always applied to contentions involving aircraft, missiles or bombs alone in the absence of ground troops or naval forces.
