says the one who didnt read something simple because it was too long.

your on a website about anime, with other people who like anime. what life do you have again?

Obviously, he doesn't have one. On topic, I believe that wars are unnecessarily. Like stated, they tore apart families, bring economical issues since wars need funding. Society goes into panic, and either way, brings chaos to both nations. For whatever reason nations go to war, it a waste of time and resources that can be used for the people of such country. I personally believe in political ways to solve dilemmas between countries other than wars.

War for the most part shows an ugly side of humans.In this age Politicians &religious fanatics find reasons to start it.It something though.During WW2 we had innovations that come from that war.Jet engines,Radar,nuclear energy,refined rocket technology are just a few I can name.One could almost certainly say if it wasn't for war America wouldn't have walked the moon or we may not have had a space program,and air traffic definitely would be quite hetic with out the invention of radar.Its funny how it took a massive amount of lives lost in order for us to have such technology.

well those events defenatly influneced these, events but we don't know what would have happend, for all we know, we might have gotten to the moon fast, we just don't know. for all we know France could have conquered the whole world (insert big IF).

Ghengis Khan, History's Greenest Conqueror
Unlike modern day climate change, however, the Mongol invasion cooled the planet, effectively scrubbing around 700 million tons of carbon from the atmosphere.

So how did Genghis Khan, one of history's cruelest conquerors, earn such a glowing environmental report card? The reality may be a bit difficult for today's environmentalists to stomach, but Khan did it the same way he built his empire — with a high body count.

Over the course of the century and a half run of the Mongol Empire, about 22 percent of the world's total land area had been conquered and an estimated 40 million people were slaughtered by the horse-driven, bow-wielding hordes. Depopulation over such a large swathe of land meant that countless numbers of cultivated fields eventually returned to forests.


Even in an argument, I reject respecting someone who believes one paragraph is too long to read.

For all we know without the fear of Russians controlling the skies, we never would have started a space program.

I think I saw that point on a comedy show.

Question: What happened to warring to create funds? I watched a documentary on Rome some time ago. I recall that certain emperors would start a campaign to conquest a land for multiple reasons, one of which was to take treasures and gold to fund operations back home.

So when was the last time War happened for the sole purpose, and was displayed as that sole purpose, to create funds for that country? Looting museums, selling off priceless artifacts to other countries, raiding natural resources to claim as their own, collecting the gold and other treasures.

What would have happened if instead of sending over supplies and money to the Middle East to build their civilization back up, The United States just kept taking and tried to turn a profit?

Would citizens, or an army nowadays be too soft to believe this to be a valid reason for war? That the goal would be to generate funds for your country?
