Building Peace is divided into two parts. Part one is an introduction to understanding contemporary armed conflict including defining current conflicts as identitybased and locating them more internally (intra-state) than internationally‚ with diffuse power and weakened central authority characteristics. Conflicts are protracted because they become lodged in long-standing relationships and are characterised by social-psychological perceptions‚ emotions‚ and subjective and cultural experiences.

might be the only way for the world to have peace. I believe that World War II is an example of a just war. I believe this because of the need to stop Hitler and fascism and for the United State to protect itself from further attacks like Pearl Harbour. The evils of Hitler‚ such as killing Jews in Germany and throughout Europe‚ attacking neighbouring counties of Germany with his military actions‚ and setting up a dictatorship in Germany that threatened world peace‚ forced the United States to make

Was Germany To Blame For The Start Of The First World War? I believe that Germany was to blame for the start of world war 1‚ although other countries were partially to blame.

Peace and War Peace cannot be created with violence. Some might look to World War II as an example which contradicts that statement. But in fact it does not. During World War II‚ America created war‚ not peace. It was after World War II that peace was created. War never creates peace‚ and peace never creates war. When America went to war in Korea‚ they created war. And the 38th parallel has not seen peace in 50 years. Then America created war in Vietnam. Peace did not occur until after America left

Throughout 1943 and 1944‚ representatives from the United States‚ the Soviet Union‚ the United Kingdom‚ and China—allies during World War II—had met to discuss the
