Are wars fought for reasons or because of something??

both i'd have to say. The reason will always be over something... usually irrational considering the reasons behind them.

I believe even at the time there was debate about whether they were justified.  I've heard that General Lemay once remarked that if the war went the other way, they would have been tried as war criminals for their acts.  I don't have the reference for that though, I'll have to look it up.\n\nI look at it thins way, it probably was justified if you believe that war is a contest between enemy populations, and not just between militaries.  If you don't believe that, then probably not.

Religion used to be the number one cause, but now I think it's more likely National interest, i.e. protecting ones resources (oil etc), or political reasons, or simply a desire to divert attention from problems at home - a successful war will always instill a sense of national pride e.g. the UK went to war with Argentina in the 1980's and that created an immense sense of National Pride and won an election for the Conservatives, while at home unemployment was rising etc.

War is a last course of action to achieve a common goal after exhausting all other methods of negotiation, compromise, and/or conciliation. \n\nThere are those who think war is never an option because no one every truly wins, but I gave you a reason for it. :)

Sure there are numerous conflicts both internal and external.  The best conflicts though are internal as it pits the characters against themsevles.  The external conflicts are to obvious to even mention. I would list out the internal conflict with the main character (whose name escapes me) of which side to be on and the actions that are associated with that struggle.

I was drafted for the Vietnam War.  They didn't call it a war then, they called it a "police action."   I asked, the same question, "WHY?"  \n\nI think the answer was, "Because we CAN."

To justify any war is to tell your kids,fighting will solve the problem.I don't think so,we truce with them and resolve the mistakes we make in life by being civil.Yeah,thats the life we should all live by and we don't.The world would be a better place if the respect,was there.The war is any excuse to show pravery.

Fighting is never the answer unless all sensible dialog has failed, even then in most cases it is not necessarily going to prove anything to fight. Fighting is a pretty poor solution to a problem. Fight only in self defense and only when it is unavoidable.

Sad but true, all wars since world war 2 have been conflicts. from korea to iraq. every generation has seen war. or as the gov calls it conflict. tell a soldger that korea, vietnam, panama, iraq 1, iraq 2 is not a war. i wouldnt but the gov would. they would tell them it was a conflict. messed up i think.

I wholeheartedly agree with your skepticism.  There is no purpose to the war that we are fighting.  It is a quagmire, and the one who got us there in the first place is too proud to admit that.  \n\nSadly, in George Bush Sr's Memiors, he specificially said that it was a bad idea to invade Iraq because something like this would happen.

Personally, no war can be considered justified. Common citizens of rival countries usually don't have any real reason to kill each other. Their governments make them think there is a reason.

Many wars are caused by hatred. Hatred is caused by ignorance.\n\nMy friend, you have a point.\n\nMake our students study history more......Make history more accessible to adults. We need to know our own history and the history of the world. That way we can understand each other and hopefully avoid another big crisis.

I think you have the whole theme of young, scared men going off to war, fighting for something they may not completely understand. They maybe don't understand that war is a place where young men not only become heroes, but also get killed. \n\nI think that's the message that carries over.

Conflict is essential to growth of the society. History has proved that. So it is necessary that difference of opinion are expressed and they clash with each other. \n\n"Let a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend" - Chairman Mao Tse Tung
