I'm reading The Little Prince and there is a phrase:
"Is this warfare between the sheep and the flowers not important?"
Is it correct to exchange warfare for war? When to use war instead of warfare? Is there a difference?

Yes, I have to look for the mean but I don't understand. Both war and warfare are nouns. dictionary.cambridge.org/es/diccionario/ingles/warfare - dictionary.cambridge.org/es/diccionario/ingles/war. For me are the same.– CarmorenoNov 6, 2020 at 3:37

3It's nuanced. War is "a state of armed conflict between different nations or states or different groups within a nation or state.". "Warfare" is the engagement and form of war.– Cascabel_StandWithUkraine_Nov 6, 2020 at 3:40
