International conflicts

Description

International conflicts have been a driving force for all major changes in the world's political and social map. Solved either by military resolution or peaceful agreement, every conflict has a long lasting effect in the minds of people and their attitude towards each other. Basically an international conflict is a dispute between two or more (sovereign) countries. Most of the time international legal bodies mediate/influence the outcome of the conflict. Such international interference is not always welcome by one of the sides in the conflict. Usually many interests (lives) are affected by such conflicts and it is extremely difficult to come with a fair solution, thus at the end there are always people not happy with the outcome. With the development of technologies many of those international conflicts are accompanied by some sort of cyber activities. Each time they are defined differently - cyber war, cyber crime, or cyber terrorism. Nevertheless, the results/actions are the same - a computer system has been attacked and taken control over even for a short period of time.
