The difference between a war and a battle is similar to the difference between a book and a chapter. War usually refers to a series of battles.


I AGREE BUT




War is a term that applies to military conflict between two or more countries which transpire over months or years.

Battle is a term that applies to a localized military conflict between two enemy armies or smaller military units that occur on 1 or more days.

The main difference between the American Civil War and the American Revolutionary War was that the Revolutionary War was fought between the British Empire and the American Colonies, the latter of which declared independence; and the "Civil War" was fought between the United States, and the Confederated States of America--two separate and distinct countries. So, in actuality, the "Civil War" was not a civil war, since it was a war between to countries.
