A '''war of attrition''' is a war in which the competing sides seek to win by exhausting the enemy's resources, rather than by a decisive battlefield victory. Such wars tend to be long-lasting, with relatively static battlefronts. Probably the best modern example of a war of attrition was the conflict on the Western Front in the [[First World War]] (1914-1918); another is the [[Iran]]-[[Iraq]] War (1980-1988).
