Rather than mark the end of conflict, the end of World War II began
a half century of ideological, political, military, economic
struggles, and many with century-old antecedents. This work brings
together in encyclopedic format most of the major events of the
last half century that can be classified as conflict. While war is
the ultimate conflict, the volume includes assassinations, coups,
insurgency, terrorism, massacres, and genocide. It provides
detailed information on the people, places and events that have
produced conflict and its resolution since 1945. Many entries trace
the antecedents of events back through history to illustrate
continuity and change. The troubled Middle East and Africa, for
instance, are seen today as the result of tensions that have
developed over decades, of colonialism, exploitation, and
ethno-religious antagonism. The reader will be able to understand
the backgrounds of the individual players and gain a better
understanding of why conflicts occur and how they can be resolved.
