You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.214.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 16:45, 10 January 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

((War))
A '''limited war''' is one in which the [[belligerent]]s do not expend all of the [[Factors of production|resource]]s at their disposal, whether human, industrial, agricultural, military, natural, technological, or otherwise in a specific conflict.<ref>Osgood, Robert Endicott. "Limited War: The Challenge To American Security." University of Chicago Press, 1957. pp. 1-2. Print.</ref>  This may be to preserve those resources for other purposes, or because it might be more difficult for the participants to use all of an area's resources rather than part of them. Limited war is the opposite concept to [[total war]].

==Examples==

===American Indians===
Many [[Indigenous peoples of the Americas|American Indians]] practiced limited warfare or similar behaviors. Eastern groups at the time of contact with Europeans often would not kill all enemies but would capture many for adoption to replenish their own populations. That is related to mourning wars. The [[Aztec]] did [[flower wars]] to keep subordinate nations symbolically defeated and capture sacrificial victims, who were symbolically adopted. The wars left noncombatants and materials without risk of physical harm.

=== Crimean War ===
[[British Prime Minister]] [[Lord Palmerston]] decided to fight a limited war against [[Russia]] since waging a total war would have required massive reform of the armed forces.

=== Korean War ===
At the beginning of the [[Korean War]], US President [[Harry S. Truman]] and General [[Douglas MacArthur]] strongly disagreed with each other. Truman believed in the [[containment]] of [[North Korea]] north of the [[division of Korea|38th parallel]]. MacArthur pressed for the destroying and routing ([[rollback]]) of [[North Korea]]. The disagreement escalated to the end of MacArthur's command and career after he had exasperated and frustrated Truman's limited war policy. Truman gave the following reasons for the policy:

<blockquote>
"The Kremlin [Soviet Union] is trying, and has been trying for a long time, to drive a wedge between us and the other nations. It wants to see us isolated. It wants to see us distrusted. It wants to see us feared and hated by our allies. Our allies agree with us in the course we are following. They do not believe that we should take the initiative to widen the conflict in the [[Far East]]. If the [[United States]] were to widen the conflict, we might well have to go it alone.... If we go it alone in Asia, we may destroy the unity of the free nations against aggression. Our European allies are nearer Russia than we are. They are in far greater danger.... Going it alone brought the world to the disaster of World War II.... I do not propose to strip this country of its allies in the face of Soviet danger. The path of collected security is our only sure defense against the dangers that threaten us."<ref>Appleby, Joyce Oldham. "Different Viewpoints." The American Republic since 1877. New York: Glencoe/McGraw-Hill, 2005. pp. 664-65. Print.</ref></blockquote>

=== Vietnam War ===
The concept of limited war was also used in the [[Vietnam War]] by the [[United States]] under Presidents [[John F. Kennedy]] and [[Lyndon B. Johnson]] as part of a strategy to contain the spread of [[communism]] without provoking a wider confrontation with the [[Soviet Union]]. [[Richard Barnet]], who quit the [[State Department]] in 1963 after because he disagreed with Kennedy's incremental Vietnam escalation, described his misgivings in 1968: "The President had rejected major military intervention as a conscious policy, but he had set in force the bureaucratic momentum that would make it a certainty."<ref>Chester, Hodgson & Page, An American Melodrama: The Presidential Campaign of 1968, Viking Press, 1969, pg. 25</ref>

===War of Attrition===
The [[War of Attrition]], fought between [[Israel]] and [[Egypt]] from 1967 to 1970, mostly consisted of artillery shelling, aerial warfare, and small-scale raids.

===Falklands War===
Often seen as a "textbook example of a limited war - limited in time, in location, in objectives and in means,"<ref>Lawrence, Freedman, "Britain and the Falklands War"(Oxford: Basil Blackwell, 1988), p. 1. Print.</ref> the [[Falklands War]] was fought over the course of 10 weeks and ended with just over 1000 casualties on both sides.

===NATO bombing of Yugoslavia===
The [[NATO bombing of Yugoslavia]], part of the [[Kosovo War]], was a limited war for [[NATO]],<ref name="BieberDaskalovski2004">((cite book|author1=Florian Bieber|author2=Zidas Daskalovski|title=Understanding the War in Kosovo|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=6OiQAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA325|date=2 August 2004|publisher=Routledge|isbn=978-1-135-76155-4|pages=325–))</ref> which predominantly used a large-scale [[aerial warfare|air campaign]] to destroy [[Yugoslavia|Yugoslav]] military infrastructure from high altitudes.

===Second Sino Indian War===
The Second Sino-Indian War was fought in 1967 between [[China]] and [[India]] in the [[Sikkim]] sector of the [[Line of Actual Control]]. It is also known as the [[1967 Nathu La and Cho La clashes]].
