Preferred term

environment and war  

Definition

  • War has had dramatic consequences for America's natural environment, not only from the inevitable physical destruction caused by battle but also by the processes of mobilization and training, and the technological developments that enable armed forces to participate in war. This is especially true of the conflicts beginning in the mid-19th century, when the outlines of modern warfare began to emerge. [Source: Encyclopedia of War & American Society; Environment and War]
