Army:
1) ground forces as part of the armed forces of the state;
2) the connection of a significant mass of armed forces in one theater of war, under the authority of one person, in order to achieve a certain goal.

In primitive society, the people and the army were identical concepts. All free males capable of carrying weapons were warriors.

During the Second World War, conscription armies were re-established in Great Britain and the United States, which survived after it ended due to the outbreak of the Cold War (in Great Britain – until 1960, in the United States – until 1973). During the Cold War, all the Warsaw Pact countries and most of the NATO countries had recruiting armies.
