How have past wars influences the future?

In recent years, war has changed its face.
Today’s wars are mainly civil wars—wars between opposing groups of citizens of the same country. And civil wars often last longer, leave the population more traumatized, and destroy countries more thoroughly than wars fought between nations.
In considering the prospect of future war, we should not forget the menacing presence of nuclear weapons. The Futurist magazine predicts: “The continuing proliferation of atomic weapons makes it increasingly likely that we shall have one or more atomic wars during the next 30 years. In addition, atomic weapons may be used by terrorists.”
