'''War''' is a prolonged state of violent conflict between two or more states.  War has been conducted for many purposes, such as the acquisition of goods, seizing enemy territory, to satisfy the honor of the [[sovereign]], eliminating a threat to the homeland, stamping out rival religious sects (see [[Religious_war]]), or exporting political ideologies.  Warfare between factions within a single [[state]] is called [[civil war]].

Wars have often been periods of great technological innovation as each side finds itself faced with the necessity of creating new methods of offense and defense to ensure national survival.
