Re: The Reason For Wars
Wars are the natural result of human nature and for that reason, there will always be wars. Unfortunately, the modern state of weapons makes war risky to the entire human population.

Re: The Reason For Wars
The question is: why is the first country invading another country in the first place? Or why is the guy who kicked the door to your house, packing up your TV?

Re: The Reason For Wars
Countries have needs and people have needs. The guy kicking down your door might need money for drugs. One country might need oil or some other resource and decide to take it. There are many reasons why these things happen, even though there is no justification for doing such things.Ranvier wrote:Present awareness

So many wars have been fought throughout history, all for various reasons. I see no reason for this behaviour not to continue.
