Proxy wars are conflicts where superpowers finance and arm competing local factions to achieve their geopolitical goals without direct military involvement. This strategy allows superpowers to exert influence and compete for dominance while minimizing the risks and costs associated with direct confrontation. By supporting local actors, they can pursue their interests indirectly, often leading to prolonged conflicts with significant humanitarian consequences. The term "proxy" reflects the use of local entities as stand-ins or representatives for the superpowers' broader objectives.
