war-weariness
Tired of fighting
War-weariness is exhaustion and diminished morale from prolonged conflict.
It affects soldiers, civilians, and entire nations when fighting drags on without resolution.
War-weariness erodes public support for continuing a war and often pressures governments toward negotiation or withdrawal: War-weariness set in after the third winter of fighting.
