world peace
A state of peace, friendship, and cooperation among all peoples and nations of the world, without wars or violent conflicts.
Die Vereinten Nationen haben die Sicherung des Weltfriedens als eines ihrer obersten Ziele.
The United Nations has the preservation of world peace as one of its highest goals.
The word is a simple compound made from 'Welt' (world) and 'Frieden' (peace). The meaning is therefore directly understandable.
Viele Menschen engagieren sich für den Weltfrieden.
Many people are committed to world peace.
'Weltfrieden' is often combined with verbs like 'sichern' (to secure), 'bewahren' (to preserve), or 'gefährden' (to endanger). Common expressions are also 'für den Weltfrieden eintreten' (to stand up for world peace) and 'für den Weltfrieden kämpfen' (to fight for world peace).
Diplomaten arbeiten daran, den Weltfrieden zu sichern.
Diplomats are working to secure world peace.
As a general ideal or wish, 'Weltfrieden' often appears without an article. However, when talking about peace as a concrete state that is, for example, under threat, the definite article 'der' is used.
Sie demonstrieren für Weltfrieden und Gerechtigkeit.
They are demonstrating for world peace and justice.
war
'Der Krieg' and 'der Weltfrieden' stand in clear opposition. 'Der Krieg' means that states, peoples, or groups fight against one another with weapons. 'Der Weltfrieden' means a state in which the peoples and nations of the world live together peacefully and do not wage wars. 'Weltfrieden' is broader than just peace in one country. It is about peace throughout the whole world.
Viele Menschen hoffen, dass der Weltfrieden eines Tages möglich wird.
Many people hope that world peace will one day become possible.
