Wars are in many cases, partly, started to distract people from the real and far more important conflict. The one between the oppressors and its opressed people.
This could be said in a simplified manner: Wars are started to distract people from the ruling class' exploitation of them.
Centralised power is bound to corrupt.
Have a nice day.
I always saw war as the result of to angry unyielding old men disagreeing on something they consider important (for better or worse)... resulting in the deaths of many people much younger than themselves.
