I'm not sure though. Korea might or might not have been delcared. I heard it wasn't recently. I'll do some checking.

No war has been declared since 1939. War was declaired abhorrent and illegal by the United Nations which stated that actions in self defence are the only legitimate form of armed action. Since then, the world has been at peace

So, Korea and the 1991 Gulf War come under acts of collective security

The Falklands becomes the 1982 South Atlantic Crisis (The official UK name)

The 2003 Gulf War becomes an Act of Self Defence

And Vietnam... ...never happened.
