What is War and How Has It Affected Our World?

War is the inevitable aspect of human civilization and society as common disagreements and opinions often escalate at a parliamentary level leading to wide spread controversy between the opposing groups and eventually to war if a solution cannot be reached between the two groups.

They hope to help the fifty-thousand other amputees in South Sudan affected by unintentional fire. The main effects of war on people today are poverty because of the destruction of properties and businesses which can take months to rebuild. It can also lead to poor economic performance or inflation and have an impact on civilian health, because weapons including the atomic bomb are highly radioactive.
