while some wars are fought over money. the 2nd world war wasn't
it was started because of hatered. money was just a side issue. it was started because hitler and his pals though the arryan race were superior beings. it's easy to equate war with money but more often war is about control. (not of the wealth) of the person; you will do this, you won't do that etc. war was and still is often a product of religious belief.
i still giggle when i see that the usa went to war for the iraq oil, and so they could make money.
war is sometetimes used to effect an outcome outside the war zone. and yes, i think the falklands was one such war. it was never about money. the falklands was about keeping the conservatives in power.
the same with iraq, the main reason was never money. in fact that war put the world into a downward spiral financially. that war was also about keeping the sitting gov in power.
yes, you'll all tell me they made money from waepon sales and other bullshit.
the iraq qar bankrupted the usa.
