Abstract

Analysis of wars and conflicts between regions has been an important topic of interest throughout the history of humankind. In the latter part of the 20th century, in the aftermath of two World Wars and the shadow of nuclear, biological, and chemical holocaust, more was written on the subject than ever before. Wars have a negative impact on a country's economy, social order, infrastructure, and public health. In this paper, we study the wars fought in history and draw conclusions from that. We explore the participation of countries in wars and the nature of relationships between various countries during different timelines. A big part of today's wars is fought against terrorism. Therefore, this study also attempts to shed light on different countries' exposure to terrorist encounters and analyses the impact of wars on a country's economy in terms of change in GDP.
