Many people believe the war could have been avoided altogether‚ but I personally feel like there was too much involved for it to have been completely avoided.

    tempting to argue that battles and entire wars are exactly as they seem. This common problem is readily found in two wars fought in the 1860s: the American Civil War (1861-1865) and the Austro-Prussian War (1866).
