Why do people start wars?

Answer 1

People think that Another Country has something they want, so they say let's take it away from them.

People want other peoples land, resources, they might want to convert it to a different religion, for work. They might want power.

If the war-the starting country are aware of the other country to be powerful, they might decide to take them out before they get too powerful.

The usual cause is they try there luck to the point were they think they can get away with murder until the other side decides enough is enough and retaliates and then they scream UNFAIR!!!.

Do animals kill each other just because they looked at each other the wrong way? They believe in survival of the fittest and so do we, we are not that much smarter than animals.

I believe that even though our brain extends that of savage animal, we as mammals are still fighters.Man has always fought over land.

Bullies and cowards start wars brave men finish them with their blood.

If it was a recipe it would go like this: Take a big dose of greed, add in a few dashes of fear, and season with a disregard for human life, and you get the recipe for war.

Answer 2

People start wars when they fail to negotiate, and it is usually from stuff like i want this land, but the other person says no you cant have this. it could also be because they disagree on stuff like religion or weather things are not fair, take WW II for example Hitler thought that the treaty of Versailles. He thought that the new government and reorganized country was not fair to be held responsible for what they did in the past. The US is a perfect example of the reason of starting a war from disagreement on what they should believe or be led by. The US Civil War, people in the north though that it was not fair so hold a slave, that they were people to and should not be treated like they were animals so they went to war over it. There are many other reasons but there will never be enough time in the world to list them all.
