I saw this yesterday and was impressed by it. I wasn’t able to see some of the charts as well as I’d have liked, but it looked as if Ghengis was the #1 slayer on a per captia basis. I wonder how they determined the deaths in the early conflicts? Anyway I thought it was well done.
How do wars start?

I’m trying to figure out the nature of the larger question that’s behind the specific argument you’re making. You’re saying, basically, that wars are not caused by invaders but rather are caused when the people whose country has been invaded decide to fight back. Leaving aside the question of whether that’s correct or not, the thing I’m wondering is: what is the larger point which this argument is trying to make? Is it just a matter of semantics, a purely abstract debate over how the concept of war is defined? Or is it expressing a viewpoint about what policies a country should follow if it finds itself in such a situation? A viewpoint which could, for example, run like this:
Proposition A: Wars are caused when invaded countries defend themselves against the aggressor.
Proposition B: Wars are bad things.
Conclusion C: Avoiding war is a good thing, so invaded countries should not defend themselves when they are invaded.

War is more than one Nation attacking another. War has always existed with Man… long before there were complex Nation States.
The reasons are endless. In effect you were both right, but the question and the answer go far beyond those two triggers.

Yes I think we’ve established that. :mrgreen:

The most apt and succint reason I have ever heard to this question is.
“War is the continuation of politics.”Clausewitz

Why do French officers wear brown trousers ?
During the Napoleonic war some high French officers were POW’s in an English camp. They asked an english officer why they used red coats. He answered it was because if an officer got shot, the enlisted men should not panic because of all the blood. After that the French officers started to use brown trousers. -
Sorry I’m doing this old school. This is the part where you say “why?” :-)

To give shade to the invading armies?

Lol yes Gar. “So the Germans can march in the shade”
