The Effects of War and Conflict in East Africa

"I do not know about myself anymore, I think Somalia has been lost, there is no Somalia, this is just a name" Human rights activist Somalia-born human rights activist Hawah Abi. This is an example of the impact of war and conflict in Somalia and East Africa as a whole.

The international conflict that affected the United States during this period included the end of European colonialism in Asia and Africa, and the most direct Cold War and its related nuclear weapons competition. At the end of World War II, the colonization of East Asia and Africa began to become serious. This process is politically unstable, but mostly nonviolent.

This has brought about intensifying competition between the two countries, especially during times when colonization is progressing globally.

Although the war declaration is not common in traditional sense, it has been mainly confined to the conflict areas of West Asia and East Africa since 1945. Furthermore, in the face of hostile invasion and occupation, some small countries such as the United States, Britain, Russia unilaterally declared a war with the world's great powers.
