Â World Warb> II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

While Gibraltar was never under direct attack, Alexandria and Malta were hit repeatedly by Axis attacks; the thrusts towards the Suez Canal for the former, and the 1940/42 Blitz for the latter, which made the island of Malta the most heavily bombed place on earth.
The warb> was responsible for the re-drawing of national boundaries and the creation of new nations, the end of western colonialism, and the beginning of the Cold Warb>.
The Italian declaration of warb> in June 1940 challenged the British supremacy of the Mediterranean, hinged on Gibraltar, Malta, and Alexandria.

Â Just Warb> Theory [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]

In such cases, the ethic of warb> is considered, or is implicitly held to be, beyond the norms of peaceful ethics and therefore deserving a separate moral realm where "fair is foul and foul is fair" (Shakespeare, Macbeth I.i).
Michael Walzer, in his Just and Unjust Wars (1977) claims that the lack of identification does not give a government the right to kill indiscriminatelyÂ—the onus is on the government to identify the combatants.
In the Summa Theologicae Aquinas presents the general outline of what becomes the just warb> theory.

Â CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Warb>

The hanging of spies, though commonly said to be merely a measure of menace against a peculiar peril of warb>, would seem to have behind it a remote suggestion of punishment of a form of deceit which is intrinsically wrong.
The source of the right of warb> is the natural law which confers upon states, as upon individuals, the moral powers or rights which are the necessary means to the essential purpose set by the natural law for the individual and the State to accomplish.
The right of warb> is the right of a sovereign state to wage a contention at arms against another, and is in its analysis an instance of the general moral power of coercion, i.e.

Â The Philosophy of Warb> [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]

For example, the notion that wars only involve states-as Clausewitz implies-belies a strong political theory that assumes politics can only involve states and that warb> is in some manner or form a reflection of political activity.
Others, who emphasize man's freedom to choose, claim that warb> is a product of his choice and hence is completely his responsibility.
The OED definition also seems to echo a Heraclitean metaphysics, in which opposing forces act on each other to generate change and in which warb> is the product of such a metaphysics.

Â Warb>

A pacifist objects to killing (not just violence) in general and, in particular, she objects to the mass killing, for political reasons, which is part and parcel of the wartime experience.
In other words, “all's fair in love and warb>.” During the grim circumstances of warb>, “anything goes.” So if adhering to the rules of just warb> theory, or international law, hinders a state during wartime, it should disregard them and stick steadfastly to its fundamental interests in power, security and economic growth.
As Johnson notes, in its origins just warb> theory is a synthesis of classical Greco-Roman, as well as Christian, values.

The generals who led the Gulf Warb> of 1991 speak out against this impending warb> as foolish, unnecessary, dangerous.
How soon that will happen depends not only on the millions now - whether actively or silently -- in the anti-warb> movement, but also on the emergence of whistle blowers inside the Establishment who begin to talk,, of journalists who become tired of being manipulated by the government, and begin to write to truth.
And of dissident soldiers sick of a warb> that is not a warb> but a massacre --how else describe the mayhem caused by the most powerful military machine on earth raining thousands of bombs on a fifth-rate military power already reduced to poverty by two wars and ten years of economic sanctions?

Â Warb> - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The economic theories also form a part of the Marxist theory of warb>, which argues that all warb> grows out of the class warb>.
A warb> to liberate an occupied country is sometimes characterised as a "warb> of liberation", while a warb> between internal elements of the same state may constitute a civil warb>.
Today warb> is generally seen as undesirable and, by some, morally problematic, although many view warb>, or at least the preparation and readiness and willingness to engage in warb>, as a necessary precursor to the defense of their country against aggressors.

The warb> became notorious for the starvation in some of the besieged warb>-bound regions, and the consequent claims of genocide made by the largely Igbo people of those regions.
The Nigerian Civil Warb>, 1967- 1970, was an ethnic and political conflict caused by the attempted secession of the South-eastern provinces of Nigeria as the self-proclaimed republic of Biafra.

Â Aceh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The major ethnic groups are the Acehnese (who are distributed throughout Aceh), Gayo (in Aceh Tengah and some parts of Aceh Timur, Bener Meriah and Gayo Lues); Alas (in Aceh Tenggara); Tamiang (in Aceh Tamiang); Aneuk Jamee (concentrated in Aceh Selatan and Aceh Barat Daya); Kluet (in Aceh Selatan) and Simeulue (on Simeulue Island).
The broadly secular policies of Suharto 's New Order regime (1965-1998) were especially unpopular in Aceh, where many resented the central government's policy of promoting a unified 'Indonesian culture'.
Aceh was the closest point of land to the epicenter of the massive 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake, which triggered a tsunami that devastated much of the western coast of the region, including the capital of Banda Aceh.

Â Glossary of Terms: So

Social democrats often say that the most effective way of defending and improving workers’ living standards is not to award pay rises, but to increase the benefits that workers receive via state services.
The dominance of the social movements in political life has frequently caused people to conclude that “class politics” or “party politics” was “out of date”, but this is really only tenable if one denies the very existence of class.
Even though only political parties, with their roots in social classes, were capable of running the country and holding government, the political parties had to adapt themselves to the social movements in order to survive.

Â 1982 Lebanon Warb> - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Another reason given for the invasion was as an intervention in the ongoing Lebanese Civil Warb> to counteract Syrian influences in Lebanon, and possibly enable the establishment of a stable Lebanese leadership from the Christian population, which would strengthen a central Lebanese Army, restore security and agree to diplomatic relations with Israel.
Tyre and Sidon (major cities in the south of Lebanon, still within the 40 kilometre limit) were heavily damaged, and the Lebanese capital Beirut was shelled for ten weeks, killing both PLO members and civilians.
From 1970 to 1973, the PLO was engaged in the Jordanian Civil Warb>, which routed a large number of Palestinian fighters and refugees into neighboring Lebanon.

SS doctors, inparticular, were marked as warb> criminals due to the wide range of human medical experimentation which had been conducted duringthe Second World Warb> as well as the role SS doctors had played in the gas chamber selections of the Holocaust.

Â Corinth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

600 BC After the end of the Peloponnesian Warb>, Corinth and Thebes, which were former allies with Sparta in the Peloponnesian League, had grown dissatisfied with the hegemony of Sparta and started the Corinthian Warb> against it, which further weakened the city-states of the Peloponnese.
In 431 BC, one of the factors leading to the Peloponnesian Warb> was the dispute between Corinth and Athens over the Corinthian colony of Corcyra (Corfu), which probably stemmed from the traditional trade rivalry between the two cities.
This weakeness allowed for the subsequent invasion of the Macedonians of the north and the forging of the Corinthian League by Philip II of Macedon against the Persian Empire.

Â Corinthian Warb> - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The freedom of the Ionian Greeks had been a rallying cry since the beginning of the 5th century, but after the Corinthian Warb> the mainland states made no further attempts to interfere with Persia's control of the region.
The effects of the warb>, therefore, were to establish Persia's ability to interfere successfully in Greek politics and to affirm Sparta's hegemonic position in the Greek political system.
King Artaxerxes thinks it just that the cities in Asia should belong to him, as well as Clazomenae and Cyprus among the islands, and that the other Greek cities, both small and great, should be left independent, except Lemnos, Imbros, and Scyros; and these should belong, as of old, to the Athenians.

To wage warb> in Sicily, the Romans were forced to build a navy; learning swiftly, the Romans crushed the Carthaginian fleet off Mylae in 260 BCE.
When the warb> ended, Egypt was in control of almost the entire coastline of the eastern mediterannean basin.
The indecisiveness of the First Macedonian warb> did not suit the Roman temperament, and after an invitation by the Aitolians and Athenians, Rome intervened in Greek affairs and declared warb> on Philip V.

It claimed that Kosovo's status in 1986 was a worse historical defeat for the Serbs than any event since liberation from the Ottomans in 1804, thus ranking it above such catastrophes as the Nazi occupation or the First World Warb> occupation of Serbia by the Austro-Hungarians.
However, in comparison with the anti-warb> protests against the 2003 invasion of Iraq, the campaign against the warb> in Kosovo aroused much less public support.
The term Kosovo Warb> or Kosovo Conflict is often used to describe two sequential and at times parallel armed conflicts (a civil warb> followed by an international warb>) in Kosovo, formally a part of the former Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
