Issue Resolution: War: the First Choice? Ever the Best?

War has been a part of man’s history since time immemorial. Every corner of the world has seen the destruction and devastation it can bring. Perhaps the relative peace we are experiencing today is just an intermission before the start of another worldwide war, part of a familiar cycle, oft repeated, with little enough consideration given to the war’s aftermath. But have all the wars in history really been necessary, or could they have been prevented, thereby preserving life and the dignity of nations? Understanding this will prepare us for future eventualities. Historians offer varied perspectives about the subject. Understanding why wars are deemed necessary helps us understand the root causes. Why do countries, entities, or factions go to war against each other? Oftentimes, more than one reason is given for conflicts that result in war, and the real reasons are sometimes disguised as noble causes or cover up hidden political agenda. Understanding the reasoning behind conflict will help us determine if war is the best resolution for it. Economic and territorial gains are two of the top reasons why nations go to war. Colonial empires formerly conquered less powerful nations for economic gain in the form of minerals, spices, and/or rare commodities. Some people were also enslaved to further the economic gains of the dominating country. Today, countries are less likely to declare war for strictly economic and territorial advantages, although it is common knowledge that many intergovernmental conflicts are due to a desire to increase accessibility to oil and minerals. In many cases, declarations of religious conflict or claims of offended patriotism are merely covers for the real reasons one nation has taken up arms against another. Overthrowing a tyrant or a government that no longer serves the people is another reason why conflicts lead to civil war or revolution. Sometimes a war becomes the only way to preserve one’s homeland. Perhaps this is the only acceptable reason to go to war—the defense of a country’s sovereignty. There are many possible scenarios that may lead to future world war. In fact, some believe that the next big war has already begun. Russia, for example, seems set to recovery the territory once controlled by the former Soviet Republic. China appears determined to assert ownership of disputed islands and territories in the South China Sea. And there seems to be no end to United States involvement in the Middle East. Perhaps war does reaffirm the strength—and borders—of the nations of the world. Maybe war is the only way some issues of global importance can be resolved. War may ultimately be the only way to form strong alliances between nations. But the question remains: is it all worth it? Read the full article
