To annotate ...
1. Ancient, medieval and modern wars required more than 10,000 people from both sides to fight, while modern wars required more than 50,000 people from both sides to fight for more than three months. However, there are some special cases, such as the far-reaching impact of war, which leads to international diplomatic problems lasting for more than a year, and it is not a small military conflict. Examples include the Bay of Pigs incident, Treasure Island incident and the Anglo-Arab War.
In addition, modern Africa is the region with the most frequent civil wars in the world, and it is difficult to record them all. To know all the wars in Africa, please refer to the list of African wars.
