Bible Answer:
Definition of the word “war.” (New World Dictionary of American English-College Edition.)
War: Open armed conflict between countries or between factions within the same country.

Answer: No.

After the battle of Armageddon, the Millennium takes place.
During the Millennium, Satan is bound one thousand years in the bottomless pit.

Revelation 20:1-3 KJV
[1] And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
[2] And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
[3] And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.

After the thousand years, he is loosed, to go out and deceive the nations, which he does.

Revelation 19:19-20 KJV
[19] And I saw the beast (Anti-Christ), and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him that sat on the horse, and against His army.
(This is the end of the battle of Armageddon, the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, with His saints.)
[20] And the beast (Anti-Christ) was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

This all happens at the Second Coming of Christ, the end of Armageddon, the beginning of the Millennium (thousand year rule of peace, with Christ, the Prince of Peace, on earth.)

Revelation 20:7-10 KJV
[7] And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
[8] And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle (they wanted to fight the people of God):
the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
[9] And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city:
and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.
[10] And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone,
where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

Satan, gathers his followers to do battle, but there is “no,” battle, because God rains down fire upon them and devours them. This is not in any sense a war.
Satan, is cast forever into the Lake of Fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet, have already been for one thousand years, and not burnt up.
The battle of Armageddon is the battle to end all battles, a place of great slaughter, such as this world has never seen before, nor will ever see again.
