When you think of a war most of you will probably think about 2 or maybe more countries fighting with each other. This is a type of war we call interstate wars.
Inter means between so the name is between states. for interstate wars the armies of the countries at war will be used to fight each other.
Another type of war is intrastate. Intra means within, so a war within a state. For this type of war to happen you need different groups within a state or country to go against each other. These wars are often called Civil wars and they are the most common type of conflict in the world.
An example is rebels going against the government. We call rebels insurgents.
Insurgents ► Someone who uses illigal violent force to overthrow the government.
