Outbreak vs. outburst

My bilingual dictionary agrees on the same meaning at these words. When I had taken a look at the monolingual dictionary, I wasn't any clearer. And of course, I mean the meaning in terms of a war, especially.

Outbreak
Outburst

Thank you in advance for any bit of explanation.

'Outburst' does not apply to war; it applies to a loud fit of pique.
