War and terrorism have been part of human history for thousands of years. Modern warfare evolved with technological advances like gunpowder. Causes of war include disputes over territory, annihilating rival states, subjugating people, and gaining recognition as a separate state. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have caused nearly 100,000 total victims. Islamist terrorist attacks increased after September 11, 2001. While war may sometimes be necessary to eliminate enemies, the ultimate goal should be establishing peace.

The document is an excerpt from Will Ferguson's book "Why I Hate Canadians" that discusses Canada's role in peacekeeping. It argues that peacekeeping is a quintessentially Canadian endeavor, not because it is noble, but because it avoids directly confronting problems by maintaining separation and limiting contact, similar to Canada's approach to national unity. While peacekeeping may be a "lost cause", it is still heroic because of the risks peacekeepers take to sustain it.

Unstoppable fear meets immovable humiliation
Article in The Times of Israel by Andy Blumenthal: he Israeli-Palestinian conflict is really about fear vs. humiliation. The Jews are fearful of the Palestinians and the Palestinians feel humiliated by the Jews. The Jewish people collectively suffer post-traumatic stress and anxiety disorders after millennia of persecution culminating in the Holocaust and multiple Wars in Israel against far greater Arab forces. Further, this has been perpetuated by decades of terrorism and Intifadas that have left the Jews feeling vulnerable in their own land of Israel. The net effect of this Jewish history and of being surrounded by hundreds of millions of Arabs, many resentful and angry, is that Jews are naturally afraid. At the same time, the Palestinians, as part of the greater Arabs, feel humiliated after the fall of the Ottoman Empire and the carving up of their lands by the West and the colonialism and occupation that followed by Britain and France. More recently, the Palestinians feel humiliated by the founding of the State of Israel amidst the multitude of Arab lands of the Middle of East, as well as by the barrier wall and regular checkpoints that protects Israel from terrorist intruders, by the West Bank settlements (and actually by Jews anywhere in Israel), and by general Israeli military control over the territories.

Major battles included Bull Run, Shiloh, Antietam, and Gettysburg, which was the bloodiest single day of the war with over 22,000 casualties in a single day.

Richard Nixon promised "peace with honor" in Vietnam during his 1968 presidential campaign, wanting to withdraw U.S. troops but demand honorable peace terms. He also promised to listen to the "great, quiet forgotten majority" rather than protesters. Alabama governor George Wallace ran as a third party candidate, arguing the major parties did not represent Southern voters unhappy with social and political changes. As president, Nixon refused North Vietnamese peace terms and pursued a policy of "Vietnamization" to gradually replace U.S. troops with South Vietnamese forces while continuing aid and secret bombing campaigns.
Wars:definition,types,reasons
War is defined as an armed conflict between two or more groups that results in over 1,000 deaths in a year. There are different types of wars including hot wars (actual warfare), warm wars (talks are occurring but armies are mobilized), and cold wars. Wars are classified based on the number of deaths as major wars (over 10,000 deaths), wars (1,000-9,999 deaths), minor conflicts (100-999 deaths), or skirmishes (under 100 deaths). Common reasons for war include economic gain, territorial gain, religion, nationalism, revenge, civil wars, revolutionary wars, and defensive wars.
Presentation12
The United States expanded outside its borders after decades of economic growth made it a leading agricultural and industrial power. This economic strength enabled America to engage in overseas expansion, including heavily investing in Cuban sugar plantations and noting the strategic importance of the island. Key figures like Theodore Roosevelt and William McKinley played roles in America's imperialist actions under the administrations of McKinley and Roosevelt. While some like Senator Hoar opposed foreign intervention, others like Senator Lodge supported a more aggressive imperialistic stance.
The Civil War
The Civil War was a long and bloody four years characterized by major battles between the Union and Confederacy. The Battle of Bull Run was an early Confederate victory due to superior organization that showed the war would not be brief. General Grant later ordered total war tactics destroying Confederate supplies and infrastructure. While the Confederates had victories at Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville, major battles like Shiloh and Gettysburg resulted in massive casualties on both sides, testing whether democracy could survive and reminding Americans of the principles of equality.
DESMOND TUTU (GEORGE BUSH and TONY BLAIR SHOULD FACE TRIAL)
Desmond Tutu called for Tony Blair and George W. Bush to face trial for their role in the Iraq war, accusing them of lying about weapons of mass destruction and arguing that the invasion destabilized the world more than any other conflict. Tutu believes that if African leaders can be tried for their actions, western leaders like Blair and Bush should also have to answer for the immense suffering and loss of life resulting from the war. Blair responded that the argument had been made many times before with no new evidence, and defended the removal of Saddam Hussein given his human rights abuses.
