A Bloodless War is generally a small conflict, crisis, or dispute between rival groups that is resolved without death or injury (Intentional property damage may still occur.), although the threat of violence usually seem very likely but never happens. Typically these events are recorded in history as wars even though the term "war" generally implies violence. Therefore, the term "bloodless war" is somewhat of an oxymoron. Nevertheless, there have been many conflicts throughout history labeled as such.
