Conscious a conflict leads to peace, ultimately (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aware

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'conscious' is the definition.
('aware' can be similar in meaning to 'conscious')

'a conflict leads to peace ultimately' is the wordplay.
'conflict leads' becomes 'war' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'ultimately' says to take the final letters.
The final letter of 'peace' is 'e'.
'a'+'war'+'e'='AWARE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for aware that I've seen before include "Acquainted with or mindful of" , "Knowing (of something)" , "Having knowledge of, informed" , "Conscious, knowing about" , "Apprised or informed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
