War is a state of organized, armed and often prolonged conflict carried on between states, nations, or other parties typified by extreme aggression, social disruption, and usually high mortality. In addition to the existence of this organized behavior pattern amongst human primates, very similar organized warlike behavior patterns are also found in many other primate species such as chimpanzees, as well as in many ant species.The set of techniques used by a group to carry out war is known as warfare. An absence of war is usually called peace.
War generally involves two or more organized groups or parties. Such a conflict is always an attempt at altering either the psychological or material inter-group relationship of equality or domination between such groups. In all cases, at least one participant (group) in the conflict perceives the need to either psychologically or materially dominate the other participant and is unable or unwilling to accept or permit the possibility of a true relationship of fundamental equality to exist between the groups who have opted for group violence (war).
The attempt to establish or maintain domination and to avoid equality, is a precipitating factor in all wars, i.e., one group wishing to dominate another. Attempts at domination are also often the primary precipitating factor in individual one-on-one violence outside of the context of war, i.e., one individual attempting to dominate another.

The World War I began on 28th July, 1914 and eventually ended on 11th November, 1918. This is predominantly called the 1st World War ever to take place in the history of the world.
The war ran for more than 4 years in a row. It was a war between 2 opposing alliances, one the Allies which consisted of countries like Russia, UK and France and the central power countries consisting of Germany, Italy and Austria-Hungary. But Italy did not enter the war.
Though the war ended by the countries signing treaties, what eventually happened was that there were more than 40 million casualties wherein millions of innocent civilians also had to pay with their lives. Why do humans kill humans? Why are the poor and the underprivileged made to work like animals by making them fight against other countries while the people who make such decisions are sitting and watching the war at peace? They too must be made to fight the war. It will be then that they will realize the pain which these poor soldiers and innocent civilians suffer in a war.
Not only were there millions of casualties, the war also produced more than 21 million injuries. This war was termed as one of the biggest war of all times and it also attained the nick name ‘the war to end all wars.’
It is high time that we end such war for the good of humans. Nobody will be at peace whenever a war begins. The US-Iraq war which began in the year 2003 is another example. Millions of innocent US and Iraqi soldiers had to lay down their lives and their families back home had to live without their loved ones for the rest of their lives. Some of them were newly married and who had recently joined the US Army. This is what happens when a war takes place. Therefore, the best way is to avoid the war completely and let the world be a peaceful place to live in.
