   War \War\, n. [OE. & AS. werre; akin to OHG. werra scandal,
      quarrel, sedition, werran to confound, mix, D. warren, G.
      wirren, verwirren, to embroil, confound, disturb, and perhaps
      to E. worse; cf. OF. werre war, F. querre, of Teutonic
      origin. Cf. {Guerrilla}, {Warrior}.]
      1. A contest between nations or states, carried on by force,
            whether for defence, for revenging insults and redressing
            wrongs, for the extension of commerce, for the acquisition
            of territory, for obtaining and establishing the
            superiority and dominion of one over the other, or for any
            other purpose; armed conflict of sovereign powers;
            declared and open hostilities.
