Abstract
This thesis examines the impact of the tsunami of 2004 on both the conflicts in Sri Lanka and Indonesia. Several vectors led to peace in Indonesia while they fuelled the war in Sri Lanka. It isn’t the catastrophe by itself that led to divergent situations but a sum of different factors such as international pressure, military victory, lack of coordination etc. This thesis, after describing both wars, analyses the several variables conducting to peace in one situation and escalating to war in the other one.
