Why Nations Keep Fighting When Everyone Claims to Want Peace
Wars have killed over 100 million people in the past century alone. Every leader claims to desire peace, every nation professes peaceful intentions, yet conflicts persist with grim regularity. This paradox has puzzled philosophers, statesmen, and ordinary citizens for millennia. The answer lies not in a single cause but in understanding three distinct levels where conflict originates: within human nature itself, within the structure of governments, and within the anarchic system that governs how nations interact. Each level reveals different truths about why peace remains so elusive, and why our most well-intentioned solutions often fail. The framework for understanding these levels emerged from decades of studying Western political thought, distilling centuries of wisdom into a coherent structure that explains why, despite humanity's stated preferences for peace, we cannot seem to escape war's gravitational pull. Even today's leaders grapple with these same fundamental tensions when crisis erupts.
