I've just read this very interesting and short article about how countries use coercion to go to war in a country for whatever reason.
Iraq, Afghanistan, the Lebanon etc. all come to mind. The Middle East and South East Asia being the favourite areas of theatre for the superpowers to flex their muscles against each other.
The dominant "'aggressors" being the Big Three; China, the USA and the former Soviet Union and now Putin's Russia with communist China now thee leading dominant force in the world ushering in a new Cold War.
In Iraq; the British under Blair and the United States under George W. used false intelligence and a hell of alot of coercion in order to oust Saddam and ignite a bloody conflict in order to fed their economies with guns and bullets while thousands of innocent Iraqi's died for nothing; much like 1,3 million people died for nothing in the Vietnam War.
