List of bloodless wars
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A bloodless war is generally a small conflict, crisis, or dispute between rival groups that is resolved without human death or injury, though the threat of violence may seem likely at the time. Intentional property damage, however, may still occur. Such events may be referred to as wars, though the term "war" generally implies violence. Therefore, the term "bloodless war" is somewhat of an oxymoron.
