Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:
Non-PRO (1): Muriel Vasconcellos
When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

armed conflict
Hi Ana,
I think this expression is far more usual in English (around 4.7 million web references). Ok, in Spanish we also use "conflicto armado" and each may have subtleties to them, but I would say the are mostly interchangeable
Good luck!
Álvaro :O) :O)

Armed clash (mira explicación)
Estando totalmente de acuerdo con la definición de Alvaro Blanch y de security (Armed clash), quizás por tu pregunta te refieres a un "encontronazo" armado de poca entidad como los que suele haber en la frontera entre Corea del Norte y del Sur, sería un "armed clash".

La verdad es que, como sugiere Alvaro, hoy en día "conflicto armado" es un eufemismo" de "guerra" , de la misma forma que casi todos los paises han sustituido "Ministerio de la Guerra" por "Misnisterio de defensa" o "Bajas civiles" (no desesadas) por "Daños colaterales" y en un ámbito "más civil", "incierto" por "mentira"

: ¡Hola jc! Esto podría ser más choque o enfrentamiento armado (incluso escaramuza), conflicto bélico me suena 'más gordo'. Pero es bueno tener dónde elegir y me gusta tu colección de eufemismos. Veo más cerca el Mº del Amor de Orwell...¡da miedo! :O) :O)

Exacto, algo de menor entidad ya que conflicto armado y guerra en la practica eslo mismo (quizas porque es necesario autorizacion de los parlamentos para declarar laguerra y además esta es contraria a la ONU, Ahora no hay guerras sino conflictos armados
