Is peace a gap between wars? if so, have we enjoyed much peace so far, after WW-II?

Answer 1

It is a fallacy to say that we have enjoyed 'much peace so far' since WW2. In fact, ever since that war ended that has been conflict some where in the world. Major conflicts have included Korea, the Six Day and Yom Kippur Wars, Vietnam, the two Gulf Wars and now Iraq and Afghanistan. YOU can add to these thousands of 'little wars' which have gone on for days or decades. Just think of Darfur. Perhaps they don't affect people outside the conflict zones as much - no rationing (except, occasionally, of petrol/gas), but if you are involved they are just as traumatic. Try and get hold of Niall Ferguson's book 'The Age of Hatred' to get a proper perspective on the last 70 years or so.

Answer 2

No, the peace is the blashpemy that everyone other country speaks off to avoid the war!!! The gap between the WWII and today has been the results of our fear and hard lesson learnt but not passed the high school that war maybe devastating , yet there is long way to graduate , When will anybody come across the true sense of peace is yet to be ascertain , till then its still the PEACE V/s WAR over borders, terrorism, arms race , economic benefits etc.... etc..... etc..... etc.... etc.... etc.... etc....etc..... etc. I hope the list ends !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 3

Well that depends on what part of the world you're talking about.

Because there's always places that have had wars. And as far as some parts of the world are concerned they haven't seen peace for years and maybe never have.


Well like I said it depends on who you're talking about.

Answer 4

With a correction, that we have enjoyedmuch peace so far with lot of Localised skirmish and disturbances.

Answer 5
