Learners sometimes confuse "confrontation" with "conversation" or "conference" because they look similar. "Confrontation" always involves strong disagreement or tension, while "conversation" is just talking and "conference" is a formal meeting. Learners also sometimes say "confrontation on someone"; the usual prepositions are "confrontation with someone" or "confrontation between people/groups."
