For example, if we take a look at World War I, the only reason why it ended was because many of the countries that fought were exhausted and begged their leaders to call for a ceasefire. We will never reach peace by fighting because there will always be one country who suffers the most damage after the war leaving them without freedom or tranquility. As stated in a debate on whether or not war brings about peace, Kapoor (2012) explains, "Peace is a meeting of hearts and minds through understanding. When we pose for war as a solution, the aim becomes one, complete submission of the opposite party irrelevance to the humanity. When there's a problem we must focus on the problem, the reason, and the solution not the war. War only fuels war" (p.5).
Causes of the Angolan Civil War.
Angola is best known for having an abundance of diamonds and oil. Their civil war began after they declared their independence from Portugal in 1975; the war lasted for over 25 years with over 500,000 casualties (Angolan civil war, 2007). The Angolan Civil War was due to the combination of its violent dynamics and massive foreign intervention (Angolan civil war, 2007). The war became a tremendous struggle for Angola. Both the Soviet Union and the United States, along with their respective allies, provided significant military assistance to parties in conflict. .
Causes of Liberian Civil War.
Liberia is Africa's first republic that was founded in 1822 as a result of the efforts of the American colonization society to settle freed American slaves in West Africa (Liberia geography, 2006). As years went on, several unskillful dictators ruled Liberia. Then in the year 1990, Charles Taylor eliminated the former dictator and took control over Liberia (Liberia geography, 2006). He was seen as a harsh leader and many Liberians did not want him governing their nation. He maintained his supremacy by controlling the people of Liberia, including women, child soldiers, and people from different ethnic groups.
