List of military conflicts spanning multiple wars

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Early histories of a war typically describe the war as it was declared by the states involved. It is not uncommon for later historians to group together a series of wars over a long period or spread over several theaters as part of a broader conflict or strategic campaign. The most familiar of these in the present day are probably the Cold War, which included the Korean War (1950–1953), the Vietnam War (1955–1975), and the Persian Gulf War (1990–1991), and the War on terror, which included the War in Afghanistan (2001–2021) and the Iraq War (2003–2011). These groupings provide useful context for the wars involved. Note that some groupings overlap time periods and it is possible for more than one war to be going on at the same time.
