War and peace
Since the time men learned to
live in communities, in the remote past, wars have been fought at regular
intervals in various parts of the world. In fact, the history of the human race
is mainly a record of the battles and wars fought in the past between
communities and nations.
Wars are caused mainly by human greed
and ambition. In the early days of men's existence, many communities lived a
very hard life, owing perhaps to the lack of geographical advantages or
intellectual ability. As a result, the prosperity of other communities aroused
their greed and envy, and wars between communities became inevitable. One side
fought to conquer the prosperous communities in order to gain control of the
means of prosperity, and the other side fought to defend its independence and
way of life. With the passage of time, the communities developed into nations,
and wars were fought on a bigger scale; but the basic causes of war remained
the same. It was only occasionally that battles were fought with other aims
such as the capture of a woman to satisfy the sexual of a conqueror or ruler.
However, success in wars stirred the
ambition of many nations. Wars were then fought for domination and extension of
power. Several small nations soon came under the dominion of a powerful
country, which then developed into an Empire. The Roman
Empire , for example, was created mainly by conquest. Even the
personal ambitions of some individuals have been the cause of wars at times.
The ambitions of Napoleon and Hitler for world conquest caused many battles, in
which millions of people, young and old, gave their lives.
The devastation caused by wars, however, has always aroused the conscience of
several nations, and attempts have been made by such nations to prevent wars in
the future. Their leaders have met at various times, in the course of history,
to discuss peace and to find a way of removing the causes of war. It is this
urge that led to the creation of the United Nations, after the failure of the League of Nations , which today is doing its utmost to
maintain peace between nations.
But the desire peace has instead led to further wars, for peace often demands
the destruction of the ambitions of those who begin wars. The wars begun by
Napoleon and Hitler could be ended only by fighting further wars to destroy
these men, who have been responsible for the greatest sufferings in the history
of the world. Human ambition, however, is indifferent to the lessons of
history. In times of wars, men seek peace; but when there is peace, there are
attempts to begin wars. Once a war is begun, however, those responsible for it
are crushed in the end. Yet ambitious countries and individuals are still
trying to extend their power. but they are being opposed by those who love
peace. Thus, wars will continue to exist, while at the same time attempts will
be made to attain peace in the world.
