CONFLICT
1. Inequality refers to unjust distribution of resources and
opportunities.
2. Countries with greater economic inequality between the rich
and the poor do not see more violent conflict than those with
lower economic inequality.
3. A greatly increased probability of armed conflict is associated
with inequality between groups that are identified by their
religion, ethnicity, or regional identities.
4. Conflicts between different nation-states as well as conflicts
between individuals and groups inside different nation-states
were both referred to as "international conflict.“
5. International conflicts are mostly next to impossible to solve.

inequality and international conflict.

and international conflict is always heart
wrenching as both of them led to destruction and
