The reason why I choosed this topic is because I am curious about why Wars continue. I wonder if the mistakes(War actions) that happened in World War 1 and 2 repeated in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. I interviewed a friend of mine who knows alot about war(s). And I found out some of the War actions in World War 1 and 2 has repeated in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. For example, In World War 1 and 2 and our recent wars we had under estimation of enemy troop strength. We had really no clear after math plan. And most of all we waited to long to enter a war.
There are some things we could have done better. We could have observed the signs better.: What was happening in the war, what we needed to do to stop things worsing. We could have gone to war eariler or at least plan an evasion earlier.
Depends by person and/or prespective but history probably repeats itself because most people do not learn from their mistakes. Example: America did not learn that staying out of war does not help. However, we do not have to get in every war: Just the ones that are very important and are related to America. Some of the reasons why America doesn't learn from its(theirs) mistakes is because some people alter history to achieve a certain goal or agenda; many people find an answer of what they want.
A question wondered in my mind while I was thinking about this topic. The answer depends of your view. So, why do things turn out the way they do? Like I said that answer depends. It depends of your views. It is simply fate or simply a result of many happenings.
Wars are usually started because people can't agree on something or multiple things. One of the most commonly heard of were the holy wars or crusades. People were fighting everyone and everything that contradicted what their faith taught them. Many entire cities were wiped out and leveled because of these disagreements. World War I and World War II are both examples of a conflict started from a simple disagreement. A Serbian nationalist disagreed with Archduke Ferdinand but instead of tolerating him or expressing how they felt they assassinated him. This made several people angry and then their sworn allies had to join with them which made a major war. Most wars are usually over small things like a dispute over land or practices. Then instead of negotiating or when negotiations are going nowhere war breaks out. Then allies bound to either party are bound to participate as well.
