How many wars are going on right now?

Answer 1

AnswerNot many wars still occur today as they did in the past. Discrimination against others does still go on. When you think back in history you can probably name many wars that occurred including the first and second world wars.

Today, the main war is The Gaza War, codenamed Operation Cast Lead by Israel, and known as the Gaza massacre in the Arab world, began on December 27, 2008 when Israel launched a military attack on the Gaza Strip. The stated aim of the operation was to stop Hamas rocket attacks on southern Israel and arms smuggling into Gaza.

AnswerAccording to Wikipedia twenty-seven ongoing conflicts exist in the world as of 04-09-10.

Of those, the following list provides information related to the cumulative deaths resulting from the most violent:

* Civil War in Afghanistan (5th Phase) 6000,000 - 2,000,000

* Iraq War 100,000-1,366,350 (see: Casualties of the Iraq War)

* Somali Civil War (6th Phase) 300,000[6] -400,000[7]

The main war then, according to the number of deaths would be the war in Afganistan.

According to GlobalSecurity.org, thirty-eight war conflicts exist in the world. This number does not include the so-called 'war' on drugs in the United States.

If you count all current conflicts where hostilities are still present, and conflicts that have ceased hostilities but are still unresolved there are approx 41. This includes the obvious conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq, as well as conflicts like the Korean War that have cease fires in place but are still unresolved and the 2 sides still stare at each other over a gun barrel.
