Group 3 Response: (Group 6)

This group's definition is pretty similar to ours. The main difference between the two definitions is that they specified that a war must either be a verbal or physical dispute, whereas we did not make that distinction.

This group also included some minor wars which we did not, such as the Mexican-American War and the Apache War, which allowed them to have a higher percentage than us. However, this group did not include the Cold War at all, which is was a great boost in our war percentage.
