What other War on Terrors are there?

Question

Could someone please give me some other wars that would be a War on Terror? I'm getting confused with a certain question I'm getting for an essay but I want to make sure that the war in Iraq isn't the only one IF that's true.

Answer 1

Do you mean different conflict that are part of the "War on Terror", or different past campaigns against terrorist like groups?

If you mean the first one, you could include the conflicts in Afghanistan, Somalia, Tribal Pakistan, and various other areas where there are Islamist insurgencies - Nigeria, Sudan, Thailand, the Phillipines. Plus cell-based Islamic terrorist groups in places like Algeria, Morrocco, Turkey, India, Indonesia, and so on. They exist pretty much everywhere from N. Africa to SE Asia.

If you mean other past military/police campaigns to get rid of terrorist like groups, you could probably reference the Barbary Pirates, or Anarchist movements of the late 19th century.  Or possibly the campaign against FARC in Columbia.

Answer 2

dinner time at my parent's place. war in itself.

Answer 3

It could be medical. War on terror such as combating bateria (the real nasty ones) cancer etc. by scientists. Firefighters and their battle with an onslaught of fire. Their combat with fire, now that's a threat to civilians. That's all I can think of right now. I hope I helped and opened up other ideas.
