All wars are not wrong?
The world that we live in is estimated to have the age of 5000 years plus. All wars throughout the history of the world have ended in terrible devastation and extensive destruction in terms of economic, social and political repercussions for the countries and their people (Sullivan- Wiley & Eisentein) [Sullivan-Wiley K. & Eisentein J. How are the effects of World War I similar to the effects of World War II. Retrieved February 08, 2003 at http://www.pomperaug.com/bass/a_block/kirajess/kirajess.html]
Different wars led to different end results. In some cases, the economies crashed such as the Great Depression in the United States of America after the World War 1 which reduced the value of the currency to mere its paper, cost of living escalated beyond human imagination, millions of people lost their jobs and millions could not enter the job market, the whole structure of trade and industry fell apart, private and public investment became shy and there was doom and gloom all around for the American people (Why World War II?)

Why World War II?. Last updated 29 Dec. 1999. The History Ring. 2 Mar. 2000]. On the other hand, some wars resulted in massive uprisings, mass destruction of property, indiscriminate killings of people, uprooting of the power base, widespread lawlessness through revolutions like the French Revolution, the Chinese Revolution and the Russian Revolution and most recently the Iranian Revolution. These revolutions have had far reaching repercussions for the countries in which these revolutions erupted as well as for the entire regions and the world at large. French Revolution over-turned the centuries-old monarchy and brought in republic governments which in turn changed in quick succession until the end of the Second World War (Koeller). The period between the end of monarchy and the establishment of stable republic government in France is a witness to the loss of French colonies. The Chinese Revolution turned around the people from a capitalistic economic system to socialist economic system under a new political system of communism expounded by Marx (Why World War II?). The Chinese Revolution in turn created a major rift between China and the United States in particular and the West in general. The Chinese socialist economic and communist political systems were never acceptable to the United States and the West which had totally different economic and political systems based on laissez-faire economies and democratic governments (Why World War II?). The Russian Revolution saw the fall of the centuries -old monarchy and birth of socialism and communism like the China. The United States of America and the West could not reconcile with the socialist economic and communist political system of Russia. As a result, two super powers emerged on the map of the world, namely, the United Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) on the one hand and the United State of America on the other. Both the super powers diverted their economic and human resources to the building of military might and spent billions of dollars every year on amassing war weapons of mass destruction (Why World War II?). Ultimately, the Soviet Union collapsed and independent Central Asian Republics emerged in the 90's. Likewise, the most recent Iranian Revolution overthrew the monarchy and instituted theocracy in the country. The change of guards in Iran became unacceptable to the United States and the West as well as Arabs for the free world termed Iran as a major threat to peace and tranquility in the Arabian Peninsula and the Gulf Region. That hostile attitude between the free world and Iran continues to date and does not seem to have a solution in the foreseeable future. Some wars simply ended in turmoil and chaos (Sullivan- Wiley & Eisentein), sometimes not even resolving the conflict at hand like the several
Arab-Israel Wars, Iran-Iraq War of the 80's and the Gulf War of the 90's though these wars were confined to a few countries and the world at large was saved from their devastating effects. Look at the several Arab-Israel wars fought over a period of forty plus years without resolving the burning issue of the establishment of the State of Palestine. Billions of dollars have gone into war machinery, hundreds of thousands have died and economies of the Arab world have enormously been hit. The Arab-Israel conflict remains ripe till to date....
Wells uses the idea of violence as a catalyst to explain human behavior and thinking. Violence seems the perfect solution throughout "The War of the Worlds" and regardless of how they look at the problem, both the Martians and people believe that by using violence they are probable to experience victory. However, when considering that the Martians' superior technology is not enough to provide them with the opportunity to be
This is not to suggest that either the United States or the Soviet Union were necessarily desiring this conflict, because "based on the scattered evidence now available from Soviet archives," Stalin was "wary and reluctant" in his support of the North, and only finally agreed to offer military equipment and advice when it became clear that China would intervene should the Soviet Union fail to offer support (Cumings 144).
However, in the end, they were unable to stop the war despite their best efforts. The war happened anyway, in spite of the best intentions and actions to prevent it. T he actions of the various governments were reactions to events that they had tried their best to prevent. They did not make a full-blown effort to convince their people of the need for war, until the war had
" In addition, the war in Iraq has been another opportunity to see the effects of the weapons of mass destruction, which have caused the death of approximately 300 Americans and of a countless number of Iraqi people, in the American Government's point-of-view. Even though it has been sustained for many times that "the War of Terror" is useless and meaningless, many scholars, such as David Tufte, sustain that "The short-run
War of 1812 Pretend you were alive during the War of 1812 and had a friend who has become famous in history because of standing up for America during that exciting but dangerous time. Describe the person and how he or she stood up for America. Explain why it is so important to honor such heroes when we celebrate the 200th Anniversary of the War of 1812. He stood there, hand in
War in Iraq: An Application of Conflict Theory The recent war with Iraq has been on the minds of people all across the world since well before it started. Many are worried that the United States will be seen as being too controlling, and that it should let the Iraqi people work out their own problems. Others, who are concerned about the threat of terrorist activity in this country and others,
