Causes of War

This course establishes a foundation for investigating the causes and dynamics of conflict at the interstate, regional, and global levels of analysis. It integrates theory and practice, enabling students to contextualize and assess the strategies actors employ to advance their interests, as well the underlying structural constraints shaping how these actors make decisions.

Hey so, first of thank you for your service to your country and your students, and second off, i know im reaching here, but i want to make a simulation in a computer game, and im running out of princesses to have bad guys kidnap and the old save the maiden plotline gets old. Historically speaking, what are like, 5 to ten of the most common reasons countries have gone to war in the past?

Looks interesting. Is the course on-line? It doesn't appear to be.

My chapter that I was reading was on democracy bla bla bla and after thinking a lot I came here what causes a war ?

[dummonkey]

The causes of war is when somebody has something somebody else wants or people don't agree with your opinion but how your country should be ruled I think to each their own leave each other alone and if any country wants to start a war with anybody it should be up to the world to stop it instead of one country War would be annihilated if we did that let's grow up as a species quit acting like children fighting over a toy big picture it doesn't matter

In your words, war is caused by both something and someone
Hitler was crazy psycho and he took the opportunity of anti Jew situation as well as promised peoples of winning German land that were lost in Prussia war and first world war
