interstate war  

Definition

  • Interstate war is prolonged, organized conflict between two sovereign states (the belligerents), in contrast with civil war, a war fought between factions within a state. Typically, conflicts are considered war, in the modern era, only if they result in at least 1,000 violent deaths per year. [Source: Encyclopedia of Crisis Management; Interstate War]
