One country attacks another, the other one responds, possibly the allies of each one step in to defend them.

what are the inner workings of war, how its created, its uses, etc...
some examples and pics will be nice too...

It's just the logical extension of competition and seeing someone as "other".

Simple:

  1. You draw a circle.
  2. You draw a line that splits the circle in half.
  3. Make one side better then other.
  4. War.

to try to demolish the capabilities of the enemy country(s) to gain or re-gain power and influence over own country's people and/or the entire world by using men and buildings as chess pieces. it's a game for power-hungry leaders.

How does it work?

Very simple

BEGIN:
"We don't like you motherfuckers!"

ENACT:
"Total war is a war of unlimited scope in which a belligerent engages in a mobilization of all available resources at their disposal, whether human, industrial, agricultural, military, natural, technological, or otherwise, in order to entirely destroy or render beyond use their rival's capacity to continue resistance."

FROM: Total war - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

END:"How do you like them apples?"

If, for some reason, the profit from war is more than the loss. Armies are expensive, but if your army is feeble compared to the other, soon you will lose your land.
Yes, I'm a materialist. I'm convinced things like peace of mind, ideological freedom and creativity are luxuries and only accessible if the economy is working well.
As long as the Greek are rioting, their economy won't get well. Riots don't produce riches and poverty produces riots.

Step 1: lack of resources
Step 2: conflict

That's pretty much what it all boils down to.

Game theory is a branch of mathematics that deals with social studies, including large scale conflicts and politics.

Here's an example:

War doesn't work. People work to do war. People get greedy- for power or resources or both or something else- so they demonize someone or somewhere so that they can get their greed fullfilled, and then they act upon it. And this starts war, it could be personal, insitutional, between full nations, or anyone.

Group A attacks group B, Group B retaliates and attacks group A and on and on, the winner is whoever is selling the weapons.

I never understood why people think war is a uniquely human endeavor stemming from our flaws. It's no different for us than it is for any animal. We're just capable of more.
