| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. With the increasing mechanization of war, opposition to its horrors grew, particularly in the wake of the First World War. Many anti-war activists began to voice their opinion through protests and other grassroots means to attempt to pressure a government to put an end to a particular war or conflict. There was considerable opposition to the 2001 Afghanistan War in the United States and the United Kingdom. The anti-war position gained renewed support and attention in the build up to the 2003 invasion of Iraq by the U.S. and its allies. Organised opposition to a possible future military attack against Iran by the United States is known to have started during 2005-2006. This book studies world's opposition to wars including nuclear disarmament, opposition to the American Civil War, draft dodger, and peace churches.
