Ministry of War

The Ministry of War was a government department responsible for managing a country's military affairs, including defense strategy, troop organization, and military planning. Historically, it coordinated resources, weapons, and policies to ensure national security and wartime readiness. Its role was to oversee the armed forces and support military operations, often working alongside other government agencies. The specific functions and existence of such a ministry have evolved over time, with many countries replacing or rebranding it—for example, to a Ministry of Defense—to reflect broader responsibilities for national security.
