One hundred years ago World War I broke out. And in July, 120 years ago, the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 broke out. In July, 77 years ago, Japan launched its full invasion of China. And in July, 61 years ago, the cease-fire agreement of the Korean War (1950-1953) was signed. People should reflect on the series of wars.

Statistics show that since the 36th century BC there have been more than 14,600 wars, which have claimed more than 3 billion lives. And from the end of World War II to 1994 there were more than 200 military conflicts, which killed millions of people.
