There are various theories about causes of war. Firstly historians does not seek to find sweeping explanations arguing wars can not be predicted where and when occur. This approach is criticized by social scientists. In psychological theories argue that release apparatus is need for crowd like war because people are innately violent. But this theory can not explain when and how occur. Also wars can break out just by choice of a leader who mentally unbalanced. Conversely in anthropological theories, anthropologists say war occur not by native temper but by learning. Or they think war is just a means for system preservation of whimsical leaders. Information theories see all wars are started by lack of information. It bring to urge to gather information that lack of it about ability of an enemy or their intent. The most difficult thing is that get a standard tactical component on each other. Economic theories suppose that war is outgrowth of economic competition in states. It begins as gain of new markets, development of natural resources, and pursuit of wealth. Marxist theories argue war distinctly enhance social class and is outgrowth of free market and class system that hard to disappear.
I thought war just occur by interest discrepancy of the ruling class. But several theories exist and each arguing is interesting and plausible. The most plausible theory to me is economic theory. It is so similar with my thought before I had. And I think psychological theories based on the ethical view that human nature is fundamentally evil.
I wonder why psychological theories based on the view.
