Why do wars start? What triggers the escalation of one-way rhetoric?
How do wars start?
Naturally the common people don't want war. Neither in Russia or in England. Nor for that matter in Germany, that is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along. Whether it is the democracy of a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them, they are being attacked and denounce the peacemakers for a lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country. - Herman Goering
Incentive: Who benefits from war?
- Which politicians?
- How bad is peace for their profits?
