Origin of the word war game

The term "war game" originated in the early 20th century as a way to describe military exercises and training simulations. During World War I, military commanders recognized the value of simulating battles on maps and using toy soldiers as a teaching aid for their troops. These exercises were called "war games" and were designed to test strategies, evaluate tactics, and prepare officers for the realities of combat. The popularity of these games grew during the Cold War era as advanced technologies allowed for more complex simulations. Today, war games are used to develop military doctrine, train soldiers, and analyze operational concepts in conflict zones around the world. The continued evolution of war games reflects their practical utility in preparation for military engagements, as well as their cultural importance as a tool of history and strategic education.
