Answer 1

I think its just a comparison one is less extreme than the other ;).  Like a toned down version.  Its like fat to obese.  Anorexic to skinny....that sort of thing.

Answer 2

Refuse:  Not accept

Deny:  Not admit the truth (or not admit)

Battle:  A brief period of fighting (an episode in the war)

War:  An ongoing period of fighting (the overall thing)

(They may have won the battle, but we will win the war.)

Fight:  To get physically agressive
