Abstract
It is more than forty years since the end of the last world war. Yet it can hardly be said that the world has been at peace. In the past decade alone, there have been major conflicts involving the big world powers in almost every continent. If you add up all the people in the military forces of the world, they would amount to half of the population of the United Kingdom.
