New Delhi: If we look back at history, it is full of armed conflicts and wars as wars would decide the survival or dominance of one side over other sides. In fact, the world has witnessed massive loss of life and infrastructure during the two World Wars.
Wars have and still play an important role in a person's life and in shaping the world's politics. Wars have been fought to establish and destroy civilizations, and for the expansion of states.
There have been so many wars and battles fought that many of them might not have been documented. The same applies to the number of people killed in them.
Here, we are talking about a country in the world which has fought the most wars and where India ranks on this list.
Many reports mention that France is the country that has fought the most wars. France has a significant colonial history, having enslaved many countries around the world during which several battles were fought. Up until now, France has fought 13 wars in the 20th century. According to a report by 247wallst, in these 13 wars, France participated in Afghanistan from 2001 to 2021 as a member country of NATO.
The French military has also been entangled in the struggles in Maghreb in Africa for a long time. France participated in the civil war in Ivory Coast. There has also been participation of French forces in the civil war in Chad. France has also engaged in the Somali civil war. Additionally, the French military has openly participated in battles against Boko Haram, the Libyan civil war, warfare in Mali, the Syrian civil war, and the Iraqi civil war. Where does India stand
When it comes to the wars of the 20th century, India has fought wars with both Pakistan and China. The major wars include those fought in 1947, 1962, 1965, 1971, and 1999, in addition to occasional skirmishes between the Indian Army and the forces of China and Pakistan. Based on participation in wars, India is considered to hold the fifth position globally, although this number could be doubtful.
