Wars and conflicts are not inevitable. They are caused by human beings.
The vast upheaval of the World War set in motion forces that will either destroy civilization or raise mankind to undreamed of heights of human welfare and prosperity.

Wars based on principle are far more destructive... the attacker will not destroy that which he is after.
No war is inevitable until it breaks out.
War is the slaughter of human beings, temporarily regarded as enemies, on as large a scale as possible.
A war for a great principle ennobles a nation.
Wars don't happen on battlefields; they go on happening in people's hearts for generations and generations, and the ecological damage is unfathomably complex and dire.
If the world is disarmed, and remains disarmed, there will be no more world wars.
War is the greatest plague that can afflict humanity, it destroys religion, it destroys states, it destroys families. Any scourge is preferable to it.
