Summary

Causes of War

-Historians

War is like unpredictable accident.

No System can predict when or where the war will occur.

-Psychological theory
Men’s natures are violent and aggressive. And those becomes war.

-Anthropological theory

They see war as fundamentally cultural, learnt by nurture rather than nature.

-Sociological theory

Sociology has long been very concerned with the origins of war. And they try to divine war into types to get better correlation.

-Information theory

This theory thinks that all wars are based on a lack of information. If both sides at the outset knew the result neither would fight, the loser would merely surrender and avoid the cost in lives and infrastructure that a war would cause.

-Economic theory
