Abstract :21st century has taken its place in the historical books as a century in which the most tempestuous developments were experienced regarding the World history. This century in which many important events took place such as the two major world wars, disappearing of tens of states from the scene of the history, great economical crisis, collapse of the communism in the Soviets experience, creation of a new life form after the technology has been placed in the centre of the life, political crisis and atom bomb, has also the nature of being one of the most bloody centuries about which the world history had witnessed. When we look at the aforementioned events, we see that the crisis and wars formed the milestones of this century. What is ironic is that the Human Rights Declaration was also proclaimed and ratified in this century. Wars are the time periods in which the intercultural interactions are most intensive and destructive. The definitions of `Cold War` and `hot war` made related with the intensities or profiles of the wars display that basically any time period without any war, conflict or struggle is not possible.
