Demilitarisation

Hey kiddo, I'll tell you all about demilitarisation in a way that you can understand!

So, have you ever played with toys or games that involve soldiers and guns? Well, imagine if those toys and games suddenly disappeared and were replaced with things that don't involve violence. That's kind of what demilitarisation is like.

It means getting rid of the weapons, soldiers and military bases in a certain area or country. People might want to do this because they want to live in a world where there is less fighting and more peace.

Demilitarisation can happen in different ways. Sometimes, it's because countries decide to make a peace treaty and agree to stop fighting. Other times, it's because a country decides that it wants to spend its money on things like schools, hospitals and parks instead of weapons.

Overall, demilitarisation is like putting down the toys that cause fighting and finding new ways to have fun and play nicely with each other.
