How can war make peace?

It's all about fear.\nIf one kilss enought from the other one, in the end one with less power gives up. Still your question is verry interesting as long as we are grown all the way with the idea tha force and power (read it war) is not the way to solve problems.\n In the end has nothing to do with anything else except politics, economy and so called defense industry.As long as humanity continue to produce guns it is more than obviouslly that one day , those guns must be use and consumed for the simple fact that you can not deposit an whole industry for ever.\nSo war make peace because peoples makes guns.\nIt is stupid but as well, verry real.

In the real world there are things called strategic resources which countries desperately need, they are willing to fight for them.  Also, religion makes people hate each other. ect.  It's not realistic that war will go away any time soon.

two or more groups who disagree with each other soo much that they send their citizens to kill each other over the disagreement. \nwar can be physical, like fighting/combat, or psychological, propaganda against the 'enemy' or instilling fear(think the Cold War) into the public.\n\nHow can you know peace without war, the opposite must be known to appreciate the other.

Sorry Friend, The wars will never stop when there is a lot of greedy countries who are interested in exploiting others and powering others to kneel before them. But you can stop these wars just by one weapon. LOVE a great weapon which can ruin any power and make the power to kneel before the love. Even God said love your enemy as you love yourself \n\nBecause Love will change the minds of others and make them to love you. This is bloodless method to end the war.

Of course it could.  However I don't think that will ever happen.  War is too convenient.  War is a remarkable catalyst for redistribution of funds.  A select  few in the grand scheme benefit.  War does not help the starving children.  It does however help the munition mfg. and makers of war  implements. War helps lobbyist  and the organizations they lobby for.  It also helps  political enities  who are not above a little ill gotten gold.

I can't believe playtoofast's answer.  The way to avoid war is to ruin the whole planet in order to 'save' the planet?  (we only have one atmosphere and if you haven't noticed its already pretty damaged already)  Besides, who are we saving the planet from?  People who you don't like?  Tsk Tsk\n\nAnyway just because war is and has been a part of human activity for a long time, it is never inevitable.  As soon as we think it is then we allow ourselves to take another step down the road to war.\n\nHumans can do whatever they want to do.  Each generation seems to forget the incredible stupidity and suffering attached to warfare and begins it all over again out of ignorance and ego.\n\nIf we can spread education and spread compassion for differing points of view then we can achieve peace.  It starts with each of us controlling our own negativity.

Yeah, war never solved ANYTHING, well except:\n\nNaziism, communism, expansionism, fascism, and terrorism.\n\nWe should've like, got them all together and like, just talked about stuff and like then no one would've had to die, except all the people who were already killed but like, it's better to kill you know, less...

If you stop and think about it who makes all the money from a war? It is the arms manufactures and all the other related businesses that are required to provide the final product to go kill with.\n\nAll they need to do is push the right buttons and someone will start a war somewhere. \n\nThere is much more to this story but I don't have the room or the time to tell it all. But it is power and greed that starts wars.

I think that the IDEA of making or increasing peace is attractive to everybody, but people have different ideas about how it can be done.\n\nA lot of people feel that the reason for the failure of wars like Vietnam or Iraq, is that insufficient troops were applied at an early stage. It's pretty frustrating, when they see such an obvious route to success, to hear all sorts of politicians shilly-shallying about the options. Some citizens will see even the 'hawks' in the government as indecisive and weak, so the idea of 'peaceniks' is just from a different planet!\n\nWorld War Two involved the commitment of ALL forces, and the active support of the ENTIRE population, and plenty of people are nostalgic about those days and about the feelings of national unity that existed. (The usual interpretation of WW2 is that the Allies won; in fact, many historians say that the Axis lost; mainly by disastrously attempting to invade Russia)\n\nThere is also a trend in modern society, to think of 'being duped' as more of a crime than cheating or bullying is. This idea ('don't be a mug!') has always been around, but is becoming more dominant at the moment (for example, new gameshows often focus on 'creative dishonesty' as the route to success). To anybody who supports military intervention, the idea that 'being weak' and 'saying please' can be more effective than applying strong compulsion, can be seen as deeply insulting.\n\nIn the US (with its Pioneer history, and conflict with Britain, and role in the Cold War) sensitivity about 'naive' methods of solving problems can be easy to trigger. Colt used to make a revolver called 'The Peacemaker'.\n\nIn families, disagreements over these kinds of principled matters can last for generations, and are very difficult to resolve. There may not be a solution that does not involve one side 'giving in' to the other's argument. Even if this happened, the 'victorious' side can still harbour a suspicion that the 'defeated' party is shamming.\n\nIt may be that all you can do is keep talking to them, and bearing their lack of grace, in the hope that a message of family unity may be slowly getting through.

War is never a good idea. Peace is what I call a good idea.

I disagree with your premise that war has been the only means.  There has been many, many disagreements that have been worked out and resulted in treaties.\n \nTo me, it seems the world has been moving closer and closer to peace over time, until we (U.S.) were attacked.  That brought a realization that there is a different type of enemy lurking.  \n\nI wouldn't demonize you for wanting peace.  I would demonize you for not recognizing that war can be necessary from time to time, and that war now could bring about peace later.
