The history of mankind is the history of wars. With the development of civilizations, perhaps, there was not a day on Earth when conflicts between countries did not occur at any point. Numerous wars, especially those that took place in the last century, have claimed tens of millions of lives. What pushes states to military conflicts?
Instructions
Step 1
At the dawn of civilizations, wars can be explained by the formation of statehood, the establishment of borders between countries and the desire of the rulers of each country to seize as many territories as possible under their patronage. After the borders of states have more or less acquired stable outlines, economic conflicts become the main causes of military conflicts. This is especially noticeable if one analyzes the major wars that have taken place with the participation of Russia over the past several centuries.
Step 2
Russia's participation in the Patriotic War of 1812 was dictated by the fact that the continental blockade of England, in which the Russians participated together with the French, was economically disadvantageous for Russia. The volume of the country's foreign trade during the years of the blockade from 1808 to 1812 fell by almost half, which led to an increase in the budget deficit, which increased almost 13 times compared to 1801. Of course, such an economic collapse led to the fact that an alliance with France became unprofitable and even destructive for Russia.
Step 3
The Crimean War in 1853-1856 was fought against Russia by European countries for the money of the Rothschild banking house, whose goal was the financial enslavement of Russia.
Step 4
The reason for the 1905 war that Russia waged with Japan was the struggle for sales markets and routes for transporting industrial raw materials. the world war was also unleashed with the aim of seizing the sources of raw materials that were necessary for the rapidly developing industrial base.
Step 5
The civil war in Russia after the 1917 Revolution was fueled by bankers and industrial circles in Western Europe, who needed to get their hands on Russia's raw materials and wealth. The same reason became the main one for the attack of Nazi Germany. Having won this war, the Soviet Union also did not fail to take advantage of the fruits of victory both politically and economically.
