Regional conflicts refer to disputes or tensions that arise between different groups or nations within a specific geographic area. These conflicts can be driven by various factors, including ethnic differences, territorial claims, resource competition, or political power struggles. They often lead to violence, displacement of people, and humanitarian crises, affecting the stability of the region. Examples of regional conflicts include the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the Kashmir dispute between India and Pakistan, and tensions in the South China Sea. Such conflicts can have broader implications, influencing international relations and prompting interventions from global powers or organizations like the United Nations.
