Can you explain what's the reason? You can say positive as well as negative reasons.
I think the most common reason for war is the urge to capture resources owned by another jurisdiction. For example, the USA frequently goes to war to secure access to energy resources.

wars are also caused to become dominant status in a particular area or region .

People who support war at the state level are simply obsessed with money.
People who support their government which is for war are simply fanatics.

No matter bad or good people will not support war. The one who support war is terrorism.

First, the causes of war are caused by reasons of economic gain, measured in terms of the acquisition of natural resources such as gold, silver, oil, or trade monopoly or market access, raw materials and investments5. This was stated by Hedley Bull in his book Hedley The Anarchical Society A Study of Order in World Politics. The reasons or causes of this war may be in line with the mercantilist perspectives perpetrated by the early European nations of commerce and colonization in the era of mercantilism beginning around the 16th century. These factors may also be in line with the Hegemonic Stability Theory, where there is an assumption that international markets can function optimally when international "public goods" are available in the supply of needed "peace and security", balance of forces, free trade and sound international payments. When there is a country willing to bear the burden, the world economy tends to experience high growth and prosperity because the benefits of free trade, security and peace, as well as a healthy currency stimulate market developments everywhere. This in fact corresponds to the liberalist perspective that puts forward "economic efficiency", utilizes the available Natural Resources in the international system, as well as the network of market interventions.
Second, the war is held for security reasons, to oppose or counter threats coming from outside to the integrity of the nation or independence7. War is carried out as a form of resistance against colonialism or that threatens the stability of the state. One form of war on the grounds of such securities is the Iraq War conducted by the US. Although many oppose the war, this war could serve as one of the reasons why the US attacks on Iraq. It was a revolutionary strategy during the George W. Bush administration in September 2002, referred to as the National Security Strategy of the United States of America which contains:
wage, and win, the war against the worldwide network of terrorist organizations.
Prevent any other great power challenging the hegemonic position of the United States as the sole global superpower.

True that, i like to call these people non human.

What.??? Why you need to put yourself to support a WAR... If million in millions of people will suffer or should I say..will die.. Yes, war is the best options to get your country proves that your are strong and wealthy, but you people in highest rank think about the aftermath and who will get suffered after.?? No one can smile easily after but only those on highest rank can say that he/she is the greatest because he/she win a WAR. For me I cannot say myself to support a WAR.

When people are hungry, they look for ways to fill their stomachs. wars are driven by economic needs and packaged under an ideology. You will notice many troubled spots in the world are in economic hardship. A contented citizenry does not provide recuits for fighting of wars. Of course you also have the US being a shit stirrer to achieve its own long term strategic objectives.

History is full of wars, of people fighting against one another for all kinds of reasons. Why do people go to war ?We can narrow it down to two reasons:

to better their way of life
to protect their way of life

The war machine is the policeman for the central bankers to keep enforcing the monopoly of FIAT money.

Energy is second to the maintenance of the fiat system.

This version of IKEs speech, like nearly all, doesn't touch on the untouchable central bankers choke hold of the world.

War allows us to keep our armies strong. You see, we don't know what's out there. Maybe aliens are coming for us right now... We have to prepare for them and thus, I believe that we should have our weapons ready for when they arrive.

I mean... We don't want to be the indians when columbus arrives. We want to be the poison that kills you when you touch it.

I don't like war and I would not support it, but if I had to support war with some argument I would say that the only reason we don't like war is because of the tabu of death. But war is just one of the many possible causes of death, cars kill probably more people worldwide, ance cigarettes and alcohol even more. So no rational reason to say war is a worse way to die for someone.

Its right mate. Money is first reason why war is happening. War can inflict life victim, i dont see any right reason why we support war.

At this high levels money is just a detail, since they can create it at will (remember FIAT money anyone?) what matters is power. And geopolitics.

depending on what triggered the war. The core of the struggle is to defend what we have, of course we have something of value. it means a lot to us, and we will always keep it from anyone. for that we must join the war without hatred, but to defend what is our right

there is no reason to support the war .... if war is made the way to achieve the ambition of controlling the energy resources in the country

Every war has severe consequences Now or later.

Wars happen due to man’s greedy, they always want more, more food, more lands, more resources, they want it all.

There is never a justifiable reason for war. There is no victory or solutions through war - only a temporary delusion of peace.

"An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind" - Mahatma Gandhi

"Hatred is never appeased by hatred. By love alone is hatred appeased. This is a law eternal"  - The Buddha

War is always instigated by the rich and powerful to meet their own ends (i.e. to increase their wealth and power) and never to benefit the common people.
Of course in order to get their support, the governments will fabricate situations to corner people into a sense of fear.

If only the world leaders would devote one hundredth of their energy to solve problems with love and compassion, the world will be a much better place.

in 19th or 20th century they fought for land  -as territories.
Who would fight for land today?

With how advanced we are, I'm baffled by the number of wars we have. The only reason for me to support a war is if and only if to fight for my country's freedom. Invasions and terrorists fall on my number 1 spot to actually support a war. As much as i could, i would like to veer away from it and if it is inevitable, i would like it to be as fast and quick with less to no casualties.

Completely perfectly agreed. People who support war are totally nuts about gaining more money and also They do not hesitate to kill people for money. Most of the governments are favor of starting wars because of being greedy to innocent people's blood. War gods are nourished with people's blood.

It's hard to say what causes support for the war. I generally am a pacifist and I do not understand why people go to kill other people? War brings nothing but misery to the people.

States support war because of access to energy resources and maintain a dominant role in the world.

War sells weapons, which produces money and occupation in factory and creates the necessity to rebuild what has been destroyed in war, so it has a lot of reasons to happen...

No reason to support war. War is just insists of those who are powerful nations against the weak. Those nations as you said are just interested of resources.The weak nations have no interest in war and never will support it but they become the victims. 

People who supports war are monsters , they only wants to destroy other countries and make innocents peoples lives to suffer. War will be the last to happen in this world , many will die if this situation will occur , and i wish that this will not happen in the future. Countries that have conflict with each other are into war , they want to conquer each others land. And for me i will not support any war .

War is something thatnonly breeds chaos and not peace. PEace attained by bloodshed is not peace at all but a time for revenge and bloodthirst that would only produce a million other small battles. THAT is why for me i dont support it and resent people that do

For me, reason to support war is if other countries are threatening our homeland. That is the primary and the only reason to support. Other than that, I don't see any reason to support it.

The only reason i will support a war is if my country is under attack. I won't give support to a war where it's to take resources from another country, whether land or others. I won't join in a war if another country justs talk crap about my country. I won't join a war where both leaders are just pissed with each other. What i will support is to wipe out terrorists and their benefactors, a country that takes another's land and definitely a country trying to get our resources.

I have a dual opinion...on the one hand, a man must defend his country...this is his duty...on the other hand, when we have to fight for someone's idea, when we don't understand it, it's silly

if you have a great government but still having a rebellion  the government shall do a move to fight terrorism all out war  even in drugs we support all out war cause we want to preserve the next generation of this nation

if there has been a massacre, human rights no longer apply in a country may be to lift arms.

wars are emerging for the benefits of big countries. it can not be said to have wars because of only one country. There are many countries supporting each other in wars. they are trying every way for common benefits. These countries are almost most capitalist ones.

I think you're right. The main reason why countries go to war because they want to have acquire the energy resources of the other country. Terrorism is just secondary in my opinion. It is not proven yet but there are news that USA was supplying guns to those terrorist to create havoc. When it got worst, they will start a war to secure the other countries resources. In my opinion the only thing positive about war is that people will learn to value lives and will make an effort to stop another war. Aside from that there are no advantages and war just makes those rich people go away with a fat purse.

If a  group or country like N. Korea is huge threat for everyone.

Sorry for me I don't support war why? because war cause miserable life in other life,, war is no win both are loss. War is for greedy people to earn money to sell they're weapon or funded by greedy and ambitious people. War is good ,,war on drugs or war on terrorist,, that war I Will support that.

If it is developed, it is because of resources. If it is poor, it is for survival. Do you think so?

For my part, I don't think that North Korea is a threat to anyone, unless some other country is going to invade the DPRK. Till now, they haven't engaged in physically attacking any other nation and Kim Jong Un was very positive when he gave that new year speech. He was very friendly towards South Korea during the speech and I hope that the momentum will continue in the near future.

There should be no reason to support  war save for the purpose of defending one's sovereignty, dialogue stilll remains the best method of conflict resolution.  War breeds death, hate and fear but sadly is something that will continue to as exist with man

If it is about controlling the freedom of your own nation that's the great thing that needs support to make a war. Other than this I can say no worthy reason to support war.

In my country it's written on the Constitution


I agree on the fact we should have an army to protect us and reject war "as is" because other countries can still attack you.

In brief you can support war only if it's for survival

sometimes we must support the war to defend the country from enemy attacks and war against disobedient people against the legitimate government.

Wealth can be made from war especially for the winner(s). If a certain country doesn't have anything to lose, they could spark a war with 'freedom' as the front, but money as its hidden agenda..

War is just about 2 things: money and domination. There are the main point of every war.

There's no any good reason to support war in the modern world. War is a business, as well as 90% of politics.

I really doubt that Kim Jong Un is going to attack anyone at this juncture but i will say that he is a very big threat to the western world, he is very unstable and just because he has nuclear weaponry, he is trying to get attention. And with the exception of fighting oppression, i don't see any reason for war in the first place.

Their are no reason to support wars.  Because we dont need chaos,  we dont need war.  We just need peacefully life,  better life,  and loving each others and respect to everyone.

There can never be any reason to support war. War is always unproductive, and causes huge damage to human life and property. And the worst thing about war is that it kills off the best people in a country. The only instance in which I am ever going to support a warring side is if they are defending themselves against a military invasion by someone else.

People supports war because some people didn't in favor of some government rules and laws so they want to express what they want to happen

the 8 main reason for support war
1. Economic Gain
2.Territorial Gain
3.Religion
4.Nationalism
5. Revenge
5.Civil War
7. Revolutionary War
8.Defensive/Preemptive War

Ya i agree with the negative point you point out, as country going war is not like you see me not happy i see you not happy then we start to fight. Mostly should be the conflict of interest. Some country start wars might be due to being overly bullied by other country and leave with no resort. As the government of any country i think one of their concern is their citizens and no one will like war and many people will suffer.

If war is to be fight for freedom the it should be supported

The reasons to support war are.
Positive gain such as:
@ to let the territory expand
@ let the economic grow
@ let my people they my people, and their people they my people
@ there resources is my resources
@ there power be my power
@ there strength be my strength
@ the partnership for worst and abundance

Negative gain such as:
@ freedom of own country is limited
@ limited to involve with other country
@ sharing of wealth
@ share of weaknesses

To support war is risking the entire country you govern.

This is one of the reasons, the other subordination of the government of the country under its jurisdiction well and getting profit from it and expanding business in this country including export and import. In general, it's just enrichment and personal motives.

Reasons that war is a good idea (that I can think of):
1.) You own shares in defense companies & war means profits
2.) You are a politician trying to use war as a means to political ends
3.) You are in the military and your job depends on the existence of an external threat
4.) You are sadistic, depressed, nihilistic, or wrathful and therefore you revel in death and chaos

Truly, perfectly agreed. There is no reasonable reason to support any kind of war in our era. If someone supports war, he or she must desire to gain a lot of money via innocent people's blood. War has been top-grossing business recently.

well war for many people means more money

Maybe the county your nation is about to attack is preventing you in some area: politically, maybe they are oppressing our citizens
in their country etc. If you win the war you could solve this kind of problems.  Generally I don`t think that is the way to go, but
we rarely are willing to find a peaceful way. I never heard of any war where there is truly a winner. In every war there are human
losses. How can any side than say they won?

Man.. for a lot of people war means money, they make tons of money out of it

War is in the nature of humanity. And also the war boosts the progress. Military men are always putting tons of money into the development of new killing stuff, so that researches are useful sometimes and for civilians (like planes and helicopters for example).

I don't konw why other people support war. War has nothing good to offer. And there is no true winner in war all of us are looser when there is war. There is no real reasons to support war.

To impose power over somebody

34th rule of acquisition: "War is good for business."

...and it always been for those who supplied stuff to the armies.

I agree that resources is one of the reasons, but also war is very profit for those who sell weapons. There are a lot of money in this sphere.

There is no reason to support the war and why would I do that if the life of all individuals will and and the painful thing is to see your family died because of nonsense reason.

At the end of a good war comes peace and such peace is one that will be appreciated greatly by those who experience the rough side of the war and the impact will last for eternity to come.

For me, the reasons of war support because of money,  territory, wealth or leaders that is not good handling their people. When we say war is a critical decision to make from the highest level of leaders that kill a thousand of people includes of civilians and military.

Forms of wars can be varied and not necessarily related to certain states or systems of government. But the wars always aim at seizing some material goods

What? Are you saying that in order to achieve eternal peace, we need to wage wars? I would disagree with this. There are a lot of countries around the world where you can find "eternal peace" and this was achieved without any warfare. As I said earlier, the problem with a war is that it kills the best among the population.

No reason to support war . My country has been invaded so I do not want this to happen again

war is bad. people start wars because they are greedy and cannot get along with one another. We need to stop war and suffering at all costs

Countries support the war because of access to energy resources. People who support war are totally crazy about winning more money. They don't hesitate to kill for money.

every war its fight for resources or territory. I think only one reason can give support for war its fight for freedom.

For me there is only one reason for war. To defend what is ours. Example someone attacks my country and wants to take something we build for them.

the solid reasons to support war is when we need to defend our country, that is the only reason I support war, war is creating a devastating effect for everything, the environment is destroy, people suffering, a lot of people losing their love one, hunger, disease are everywhere, war is not a good thing to do

Why should we support a war that has many disadvantages for human life. War causes death and annihilation of mankind, hunger, destruction. For that reason i don't support the war and choose another way that can be solved by peaceful way

I don't think there's anything good about war because it will affect the whole system of the community although few percentage of people will still benefits from it but when it comes you have to face it to defend yourself and your community

Sometimes war is inevitable and can also lead a huge damage on the country and its people. Some Organization goes to war just to get an economic gains ,territorial gain people who wants to get a hold of the lands , war can be affected by religion too like muslim but not all of them are bad some of them get to war because of their ideals (not all of the muslim is bad).

Indeed, but not all problems can be solved by a peaceful way. The only problem with having a war is that only those who's in this line of business will only benefiting and also who the hell would want a war? But if war is the only way to stop or defend something then I think I could somehow support it

Why we should support war of there are so many people who suffer from this. War for a cause or any reason for war if it harms people there is no reason to support it. Let it stop.

None. There is no any reasons for someone to support any war. Peace and love should always be present in ourseleves. War wont bring anything good for us.

Only when there is oppression and injustice can war become reasonable. War is never an answer to achieve peace. lt will only bring destruction to life and property. Imagine what will happen to life when nuclear bombs are exploded all over the world?

NEARLY EVERY ONE OF AMERICA'S WARS WERE FOR SOME KIND OF TRADE ADVANTAGE or money or for territory.--Which of course were always fought under different excuses, even as far back as the Civil War.

I agree yeah no matter how bad the people we should not support the war,because wer not the terrorism, People who support the war was absolutely  crazy mind they know that this is not good and it can be affect the country nation.

Their are no reasons to support war because all of us need peace. Don't hate to everyone, all we need is to give love to each other abd give respect.

War must not be supported, if u think opposite then go and participate in local war somowhere. When u'll see the first death or decapitated person u'll be against war strongly

If there is an invasion happen in my country, for me is the best reason to support on war, as a reservist of the army, it's my duty depend the sovereignty of the people.

nothing good come from the war, human's lust can't never be stopped. the human make a war not for resource, power or anything but their unstopable lust.

The reason for all wars is banal greed. People are not enough quiet flow of life. He who has power wants more power. He who is rich wants more money. And so in everything. More land, more control, more territory ... For the sake of "a little more" people, unfortunately, are ready for much. To wars, bloodshed, greed and greed. The end of the world is not a natural cataclysms. Mankind will destroy itself.

The war is inevitably accompanied by sacrifices and destruction. But does this mean that war is always a brake in the development of civilization? As a result of wars, the dwarf states were enlarged into great empires, the achievements of military technology were subsequently used in civilian life. And another question would reach our civilization such peaks if there had never been a war?

The true reasons that lead to the emergence of ruthless wars in different parts of our vast planet are very diverse and, as a rule, carefully hidden from ordinary people. But the consequences of ruthless battles are always equally deplorable and destructive

As much as possible, no one should support wars as it harms everyone including the innocent people and children. But I think that the only exemption is if a country is being aattacked and threatened.

There is no reason to support any war.

Altho we're still investing more and more into armies saying it's for dissuasive or defensives purpouses. But hey eventually run at a cost and war makes money ...

We should support disarmement too...

When one party frowns upon fundamental human right

In my opinion The positive impact of the war is solving the problem, problems that can no longer be negotiated are usually resolved by the war. The negative impact is certainly the swallowing of many casualties, huge material losses and economic crisis will occur

I would not support any war, as the history of war it is very destructive to the community and to country. The most pettyfull are the childrens because the impact is highly damaging of there minds and they are traumatice of the situation that nobody care for them. I believe that life is a gift that is given by God so I dont think that everyone of us has the right to taking the lives of other people. I think war can be negotiated if everyone of us is open minded and let  the peace give a chance.

Aside from getting another country's resources, another reason to get into war is to well profit from it. War is an expensive endeavor and it needs alot of resources to do so. If you're a multinational arms dealer then if there is war, then people will scramble to get your hardware. If you're weapons are better than your competitors then people will scramble to buy the "bigger stick". Next is, war at times, is a great market manipulator. Alot of money if flowing around and at times, money is frozen still.

Nations usually fight over resources and sometimes ideologies. But since war is an expensive effort (in terms of human life and economically), it is usually done to gain an upper hand on the other nation's resources (human capital, technology, natural resources).

Most of the wars currently active are the result of jockeying for influence by groups on resources. Some large nations also use it to keep smaller nations at bay and held them hostage to the larger nations whims.

War between the countries will be for the resources and nothing else.

Those are the reasons why countries went to war but for reasons to actually start a war? I don't think there's any reasonable reason. Soldiers get to kill each other away from their family and die as well and for what? It doesn't serve any purpose for the betterment of humans.

There shouldn’t be any reason for war as it causes a lot of problems.

War dictates your power and in this world everyone is power hungry.

I see no reasons to support war. War is always evil both for the losers and winners. War is always ruins and many deathes... I truly believe, war is never a solution, so I'm a complete pacifist.

In the modern world, where military aggression is more widely questioned, countries will often argue that they are fighting in a purely defensive capacity against an aggressor, or potential aggressor.

In my opinion, nithing good comes out of a war. Nothing is gained but a lot is lost. Lives are lost. Homes are lost and even resources are destroyed. So many suffer from wars and it is pointless.

The winner may gain additional territory or funds and that may make up for the loss in lives and livelihoods. But the losing nation will be in a much worse state. They will lose everything and the majority of the population may be inclined towards extracting revenge in any means possible. The cycle will repeat, resulting in more wars, more deaths, and more bitterness.

War should not be started and their should not be any reason to support war. However, most countries start or support war to show strength and power. some countries supported war to protect their sovereign territory. For whatever reasons, war should not be supported and should be resolve by other means such as through diplomacy.

well i guess there's no reason to support any kind of war. War comes with misery and sadness for the innocent people affected by the war. No one will support anyone to make someone or some people suffer from having misery and sadness, except for those psycho or having mental illness will do that

War makes the ruler strong and that is the only reason like the olden days.

I dont see any reason to support war. It ilaways bad, where people always day for nothing. People have stop doing any action for war

Reason to support war is the greed of people, the desire to make money in war by killing others or taking away resources.

There are no rational reasons to support war. It is terrible thing that doesn't solve any problems :-[

well oppression from other countries and abusing its power to get its interest is a reason to support war.

war is a destructive act of humans. it can lead to the permanent damage of structure or even the whole country just like if one country used nuclear bombs to defend their land, it can washed out the whole country. so, i guess there is no right reason to support war. its just a matter of good communication and understanding what other countries argument.

The main reason for war is to get the power and rule everyone.

You want war because that is what you think, is good and powerful.

There are no reasons to justify supporting war. It is senseless and barbaric. Honestly, I am shocked that it is occurring in so many parts of the World. And that we don't learn from past mistakes.

No reason whatsover can justify taking so many lives. It's shocking how many wars still occur and that are not widely discussed in global media. It's utterly depressing that war is still a thing in the 21st century.

War is only allowed as a last resort. “ Whenever there is lawlessness and decline of morality the miscreants should be put down to protect the innocent” is how it is put in the classics. This includes self preservation, to protect yourself from invaders. Then all bets are off. Even cornered rats fight.
Reasons would be
1. Patriotism
2. A belief that there is no other option available
3. Because the cause for which you are fighting is just and valid
4. To defend your beliefs, values, country and family which is best done
a) by killing some other mothers son/daughter
b) on somebody elses territory

Depends what the war is against... Bitcoin is a war against the establishment in a way...

Yh. i think what you said is an important aspect of the reasons why people go to war. But to me,wars happen when two super powers who try to rule the world have different ideologies. This can easily result in a war.

Ppl make babies and more babies and the babies come men since they are low quality mass produced there are not many more options but war

As much as possible, a war is the last thing that we need to settle disputes and understanding. For me, the only reason to support a war is when your family's safety is being threatened.

War is for losers, there should be no war at all.

You are absolutely spot on. Population explosion is the no.1 reason for war. When the population increases, the per capita availability of the natural resources decline. And this leads to more competition, and ultimately it results in warfare.

I think it will happen only to become more powerful than anything else.

I think it gives a sense fo power and authority hence people choose to war.

The preservation of lives is not a reason to support war, moreso it's a reason not to support it. Do you have an idea how many innocent lives are lost during war time? There aren't any winners there. There should be an alternative to resolve conflicts without wasting lives so there's basically no reason to support such barbaric acts

1. Patriotism is a false sense of being attached to that small part of the world where you were born and trying to somehow defend it from other people who want to live there.
2. There are always other options. You're never forced to doing 1 thing there are always choices, even if you think that you are cornered.
3. War is never just. Attacking other people is never just.
4. Why do you need to physically defend your values? You have the right to defend yourself if someone uses force against you, but war is always started by someone and thus it's never justified. If someone has other beliefs than you, you have no right to attack and kill him, thus war should never be supported.

What are the reasons to support war? LOL
There is only one reason. M-O-N-E-Y. War is the way to earn money by governments. Nuff said.

Wars are pointless and should be completely avoided.

Just think of it as a game that when everything is so unorganized and there is no more order anymore, a reset is necessary. Some individual thinks that war is the best solution for everything to go in order once again. Although, I do not totally support them because of the violence it may bring, but we have to admit that they have a point.

I believe in non-violence and supporting the war is a big No.

Wars give power over each other and therefore they fight.

I say lightly that war is a bad thing and that is only to defend myself against a country that wants to destroy the country, is it just to take the wealth and power to fight? but today there is much evidence of the state by all means to gain profit and it is concentrated only on certain people, and the global economy is more inclined to the capitalist liberal economy, who has the money he has in power, all activities if there is money all will be fine. this is what I worry about, because the rich will get richer and the poor more and more can even be in the slaughter of the poor. that's my opinion, thanks ::)

It makes them powerful and help them get the attention of everyone.

No. War is for both winner and loser. If you read the world book history you can see that war is for the invader that wants to extend its power from one place to another. It is impossible to erase the history of the world that have war. War before wasn't like war today. Today's war requires to kill thousands of people, destroy the land literal, nothing to use from wars affected area. Nuclear weapon develop in other country the main reason is obvious to win the war when time comes. Therefore war will continue this is the sad truth with regards to war issue.

Occasionally, this type of war is really unleashed to seize the resources of a given territory, but there is a proportion of intimidation in the military, such as with Hitler, many countries simply surrendered and capitulated, and many stood to the last drop of blood. Glory to the living and fallen heroes.

who support in war yes in my opinion defend the land of country that born.

defending his country for the future.
if possible no more warfare.

the factor is that our earth is getting older.
we are created by god not to kill, to drop another country.

let the country that wants to grow to be supported in order to become many brothers that we see become successful in the country.

There are many reasons to support war as it gives you the power over others.

For me, there's no reason that I can think about to support war. All it causes is grief and pain for families who's affected with the war. Homes are destroyed, families are separated and killed, is that enough reason to not support war? People having humanity these days are rare.

Countries that support war are the greedy nations. They support this stupid thing for their own security reasons and to possess what they do not own. It is all about the money and power.

Never support war,instead do something else to stop war,War is no peace at all,they just want to kill people and do killing,why dont have this kind of people ? Like terrorist,why they must kill people to take their purpose only? Why must need war?

countries that wage war only for greed and power. who get positive impact only winning country, they will get material, territory area, and compensation money (usually).
the negative impacts of both countries are losses of troops, weapons, money, loss of life, and competition.
there is no point in us doing this battle will only cause injury on both sides.

There really are no reasons since the people in power will manipulate things and present things in a way that will try and convince you to go risk your life and kill others for them.

i absolutely do not agree with anything to do with starting a WAR, it's a basic human nature to conquer something not belong to them, usually they will have thousands argument to start a war. I think war basically happen because of the greedy and ambition of a certain person then they start a propagation to influence a lot of people to make their dream come true even it has to start a war   

weapon improvement  :-[ :-[ :-[

This problem is not new for us, even in the ancient times war is not even more new. The human kind are have the ability to adopt new knowledge and skills thas leads to support everything that they can do. Religious beliefs are one of the things that support war. The objectives, goals,  and instinct of the humans are the great weapons that leads to war.  Because people are have they own ideas that they want to do...

WARS...

Easy. The reason is for sake of democracy and communist.

Western mainly US try to establish their ideology of democracy meanwhile the Russian and Chinese to spread their communism.
They will use anything includes by force IF necessary.

So now, they are fighting in Syria to control the gov.

For the Arab world, they go to wars simply because they dislike Jews. Its in their blood since before Moses.

The Turks are going to war to eliminate Kurds, like the eliminate the Armenian  before.

And for North Korea, simply because they all stupid.

How can anyone be 100% against war? Don't people believe that genocide exists? There are many Cambodians who wish some nation would have fought to save them.

Some wars are very important especially in the case of the Allied forces involvement in the second World War because without their involvement, the Jews and some other races would have been annihilated entirely by the Nazis.

So many people make money on wars
That's horrible that so many people die because of the willing of two (or a bit more) crazy men

In terms of war , it's either you win or lose . But here's the real deal . War is a giant bloody business especially runs by a gun dealer . There are no reasons to support a war it doesn't resolve a thing its just making it worse .

History is full of wars, and people are fighting each other for various reasons.

To improve their way of life and to gain more from the war. The opposite is to protect your own interests.

If its driven by ideology war will happen, it doesn't matter which side.is rightful it will still cause the lives of each sides. Both sides will always believe they are rightful in their own story but a country that will benefit from war might always be an spectator that will feed hate to both countries. Countries should be aware about making their developments, if they are just neighbors, then be neighbors and help each other.

Money is first reason why war is happening. and I think,Why do people go to war ?We can narrow it down to two reasons:

to better their way of life
to protect their way of life

Firstly i do not support war. But in one circumstances where oppression/bullying/massacre happen in a country or territory/region, steps has to be taken to contain the issue. So i will support war against these bad people. Never say never...

This is the supposed consternation that many raise about how democracy feeds the terrorists. This boils down to an argument that our very liberties allow the terrorist to exploit our societies, and we are thus at their mercy or must revert to authoritarian means. This canard is absurd, and always has been.

Money and power are the only answer to this question. I am anti-war precisely because there are always monetary or power interests in between.

Look at Kim and Trump that's a great example of a power war. Lucky for us it's only a twitter war for now.
Now look at Iraq War that was both Power and Money war.

List me a war that didn't involve power or money and I might change my mind.

The only reason i can see is economy growing up and making money from war. Sometimes it is to sell your products like usa do. They start the war take the oil sell theirs guns and make that country as their satelite country. :D

Not all the time. There are also wars that doesn't include economy, just look at the separatists, they are fighting for ideology and they want to build their own country inside a country then separate.

However there are times that it is cause by provocations, and both warlord are short tempered.

First, the causes of war are caused by reasons of economic gain, measured in terms of the acquisition of natural resources such as gold, silver, oil, or trade monopoly or market access, raw materials and investments5. This was stated by Hedley Bull in his book Hedley The Anarchical Society A Study of Order in World Politics.

Almost all against wars. But war is a good way to make money for the state and boost the country's economy.

A war happens when all the diplomatic/pacific attempts to claim for changes have already failed.
It happens when the discussion fails and the solution is only achievable by belic ways.

You can see it against nazists, they were irreducible, only physical strength could stop them. You can see it against communists, only strength could stop them or they would enslave the world. If USA became stronger after the fall of these giants, it's just a consequence for being at the right side of the battlefield, fighting for what was right on that moment, totally fair.

Even before war is just an ordinary scenario the reason why it still happening because there a lots of people who is self-centered they didn't think others...  Just they only thinking is for their own goods not knowing they causes problems...  It is very sad to hear that childrens are get affected by this things...  At their young age they are awaken with cruelty of the world...

The best reason is when the other side is evil that they are planning to make other countries obey what they want. You are really going to support that other country who are on the right side on that war.

religion, nationalism, resources - lots of reasons!
The only good war we know is the civil war against bad leaders that do wars all around.
Support UNIFY World Revolution and let us clean up this mess for you.

Why do you want to rule the world? There are around 10,000 different languages spoken in the world, and I guess there are that many different cultures as well. It is impossible to bring all these people under one ruler, as each and every one of them have their own preferences and priorities.

sometimes the main caused of war has human possess greedy characteristics from gaining of power in resources defending of the soveriengenty  and safety of nation in some leader,it also seems  as many different reason that has play together of some  nation rules to decide and conduct war,or even if the nature of international system has be unstable and unpredictable institution,aside from that political distance and economic problem inside the country has should be cause of war as well

reason to support the war yes to win the war

Wars are only to make a point of the power. It is pointless and not one should fight.

There should be no reason to support war. Where innocent lives are at stake. War should not be supported at all means. If it is to protect lives and self defense, then it's tolerable but if it is just to prove the power of a certain group then much better to stop.

Wars are for losers and it is the worst thing to do to people.

No one in this world want war, with the exception of private defense corporations such as Raytheon and Boeing. War brings suffering and misery to 99% of the population, and only 1% benefits from it. Unfortunately most of the times, these 1% includes policy makers who has the power to start new wars.

The war was supportable in the early days but not in modern day because now every nation has dealy weapon supports

If your country is involved with it or if someone is attempting to take over your resources or your country's freedom you will surely not hesitate to fight for it. We all know that being in a war only waste lives and resources, but if involves your freedom, it will be worth the risk.

There is no reason for people to support a war. everyone wants peace and I think the war is not a good thing to solve a problem. This becomes a lesson for all countries because if all the terms are definitely more beautiful. the only selfishness that makes people want war.

putting yourself to support war how evil? because you  know that war are commonly destroyed life of innocence or even destroyed all building stablishment   of course economics source will be falling- down,,involved war achievement will be deep factor of those person wants to support war aside from that,, some politics issue has also involved do to war as personal reason of person leads to war,,

All of you tax payers support war unknowingly!

the reason I support our war is strong and which is deserved to be suppressed

Brother how can you post such an controversial topic? war and benefits don't go hand to hand anytime

I love seeing people fighting. But I do not support war.

There are no reasons for support war. I am a very peaceful person and i seek peace.

I am a peace loving guy and I don't want to have any war. not now nor ever

amm.. None? There is no valid reason for you to take a life in order to gain your personal wants such as resources, power or jurisdiction. No one wins with war, you might think that once you annihilate all of your opponent you have won the war right? You have eliminated all that opposes your ideology. But what if one of your followers opposes you? will you eliminate them as well?

War is ignited by two opposing opinions or ideas. That's why leaders are chosen so they could decide for the majority's welfare not just a collateral damage because of personal agendas.

When a country or group of people are under perpetual slavery or denial
from rights.When another country comes to rule over your own country.When
your territorial integrity is being violated.When a group or section of the society
decide to terrorize or rebel against the existing government.When there is a planned
coup to topple government.When corrupt people decide to recycle themselves in power.
When citizens are denied of basic amenities without compensation of any kind.

It will unite the people and the terrorism will finally come to an end.

WAR is all about power and greediness.  There is no way I will support war.  There are no reasons to support it.  It will just bring terror, sadness and devastation in our world and people.  I rather prefer to live in a world that is progressive and people live  a harmonious life.  Bitcoin is a way to connect with people in other parts of the world and  I think majority if not all, these people do not support war also.   We can facilitate  Bitcoin thru soicial media to send our message or desire  not to go into war with other countries in this world.

I don’t support war. It is a ridiculous thing to do.

There are many reasons to support war one of which is that it would end the most poisonous human race

the most affected and real reason is a power. all of wars are made for gain power.

I never support the war, because many bad things happen in war, many children become victims of war, hunger, poverty, and destruction ...I hope there is no war in this world for any reason

If a country is indulged in war to save its citizens from terrorists or other threatening country, it is fine. Otherwise efforts should be made to negotiate and avoid wars.

Almost the cause of the war is is natural resource disputes, fragmented borders, different religious beliefs. All of this comes from the selfishness of mankind.

the real thing is that most governments make huge money on wars.
For example, Russia and USA have a significant part of GDP, which is devoted to military spendings.
Without that their economy would not grow so fast and significant part of production will be stopped. Of course, it is not profitable.
Thats why war would exist, whether people like it or not

There is no reason war should be promoted. Real people die when wars start, those same wars are often fought for selfish reason in the first place and those that aren't are fought for pride. Negotiations should be encouraged instead because unlike video games, there is no reset once someone dies.

Sometimes the war is justified, for example, in the fight against terrorism. But I'm fundamentally against the war, because it's a waste of people's lives. I would like to see that in the future the people learned how to negotiate.

Reduce the population of the planet, and enjoy the energy of grief, fear, anger. Who needs this? I do not know...

Reason? I don't think there is enough reason to support war! The truth is the only ground why nation wants to fight the other one is because of greediness manner for no good government would love to kill the people in other nation just to conquer that place for personal gain. The good country would love peace talk rather than using harmful thing to get what they wants.

The main reason to support war was to defend our place or country from the invaders or people want to destroy us. Each govern can require people whom they ruled to obliged eadh and everyone to support war by means of materials or even human support such as being soldier. Thus, in the end, many people will benefit from it.

The main reasons for goverments to support war is financial and territorial resources. These resources are needed for power and domination over other countries. There's no some higher purpose to start war. Only human vices motivate people to initiate such act of violence. Unfortunately it's sad truth about human nature.

Lets go to history. Think about the time when Rome (Italia) used to rule the entire world. Can you recall any king or leader from that time from a different corner of the world? No, you don't. When British used to rule the world (not so long ago) they had every little thing one can ask for. There's a power in land even if doesn't speak fight or fire. And now the wars are for markets and resources. If you win the market, you win the world. And to win the market you need to have strong resources.

I think the main reason for supporting the war is the power to seize and defend a territory. other than that by waging people can mendalatkan resources and profits for the winning.

No specific reason, I just want this world to come to an end.

There are some high ranked people support war it is because they want to own something that they want to get.

To support war is to get power. I am power hungry and I support war.

Well first of all you have to understand there are truly evil people in this world. It is true that war happens for a complexity of reasons including money, but never forget that leaders who are truly evil will not stop on their own so in order to protect those who are innocent victims war may be necessary. If you think this can be a totally utopian world you are kidding yourself. Evil exist.   

War is also means of intergroup relations among nations of all world. War serve as possible means when all mediation is of know use.....however the outcome of the benefited one party than the other because it might led to overruled on the losers of the war

 I really do not like the war because my country has been through a lot of wars and that has made my country is growing very slowly in all aspects but fortunately i  am still living on my country without having to live in another country, we have protected it with our blood and flesh.
I am very sorry for the countries that are suffering war at this time and especially the soldiers who are fighting on the battlefield of the fatherland.

At wars I found strange to see so many geography-ignorant people talking so high on how they "own some land", despite never even being there or even able to point it in a map...

If one of the side is an evil force. It's the biggest reason to support not just the war but the supporting the side that are fighting for what's right and defending the innocent ones.

What is an "evil force"? I doubt the "evil force" sees itself that way, usually your side is the "evil force" to them...

I recall an old cartoon where a soldier was asking a general why they were fighting the enemy, so the dialog went like this:

Soldier: - Why are we fighting them?
General: - Because we're right and they are wrong!
S: - Then why are they fighting us?
G: - Because they think they're right and we're wrong!

War will never end as long as the leader's imparted ideology to his followers continues to live.

War kills people and destroy lives. War will never be justifiable when someone has to suffer, specially the innocent ones. Supporting war is like aiding a genocide.

That's quite strong allegations about the USA, yeah trump is a pain in the a**, but I don't think America goes to war for resources acquisition. There's world market to properly acquire resources you need for your country, and America participates well in that economy.

We're in the new era now, no such reason to support war specially if lives are at stake.

Thats true, why some countries join war or support war because they have some vested interests like selling their warships and weapons. Also conquering the resources of the other countries like petroleum products, golds etc.

For me, there is no reason for me to support war. If I have a way to stop it, I'll do it. At the end of the day, no one wins if we go on war. It will only bring sadness to anyone who has been affected. It can destroy a person's life and it will just continue no matter how bad we want to stop it. Greedy people wants war because they benefit from it. They are the one who should be fighting on the battlefield so they know what they just started.

I think the justifiable reasons for war are to protect yourself from an aggressor or to protect others from an unjustifiable overwhelming force. At this stage in human development i see no other justifiably reason for war. If you think I am wrong I’m more than happy to hear other points of view.

to illustrate the importance of understanding which reason is behind a conflict,
Remember that if there is a lack of ability to enforce or agree on an agreement, it may be a war
last a long time. It will last until either one side emerges successfully, or the situation
has changed so the costs of ongoing conflicts are overwhelming for
all sides. Such a lack of agreements that can be enforced is usually one of the main components
leading to long-term war. In contrast, suppose the possible enforceable and credible agreements
it is possible, but states begin with asymmetrical information, for example, about
relative strength of one of the two countries. In that case, there may be bargaining
failure to lead to war. However, in these settings once the war really begins the kinsman
the strengths of the nation can be more pronounced, and given that credible bargaining is
can and prevent further war costs in states can then reach an agreement with
finish the war. Thus, different battles of the war may correspond to different sources of
bargaining failure. A lack of ability to enforce a bargaining agreement and/or a lack of the ability
to credibly commit to abide by an agreement. the world will not be able to find a place in the world without a fight. . . :D

There aren't too many reasons to support war in fact I'm also 100% against the idea of war in the majority of cases. WW1 & WW2 were probably justified and needed to happen. However, others may argue there are benefits of war; For example, if we look at WW1 and the technological advancements excluding weapons which were made because of the war:

- Mobile X-ray machine
Before the war wounded soldiers were often removed from the battlefield and transported back home to get evaluated or medics diagnosed incorrectly on site resulting in soldiers being mistreated. The mobile X-ray machine allowed medics to identify breaks and the like on site and be able to offer medical care based on the results. These are now used around the world in different clinics. For example, if you are bedridden in a hospital then nurses will now come to you and perform a X-ray.

- Satellite communication
You might recall hearing about messages being delivered via pigeon, telegrams (which were invented in the American civil war or radios which were not very reliable and could be tapped into very easily by simply being on the same channel. Radios also had a certain distance in which they wouldn't be able to transmit to each other.
Of course satellites are used for all sorts of things now including being used by everest base camp to get medical care to climbers who are suffering with Cerebral hypoxia and getting them helicopter evacuation down to lower levels. Without the invention of satellite communication expeditions such as Everest, K2 and the like would be much more risky than it is today.

- Hydrophones
Primarily used to locate U-boats these devices were designed to be used underwater to listen for sounds underneath the surface. These are now being used for various different things including locating submarines below the surface and surveying the oceans. For example, these devices are used to monitor whales within the ocean.

-Penicillin
Probably one of the most breakthrough discoveries at the time which has been deemed a super drug and saved many peoples lives. Imagine a world without penicillin. Infections which penicillin now treats these days were originally fatal. Penicillin was originally discovered in 1869 but, if it wasn't for WW2 then the effectiveness of the antibacterial drug in the world. Yeah we have alternatives for people who are allergic to Penicillin but, at the time this substance saved several thousands of soldiers dying from infection as well as those who had infections in hospitals, care homes and at home.

This isn't even including the advancements made to airplanes (jet engine), air control communication, Nuclear power,  Enigma computer and ultra sound. Plus the improvements made to engines used in land vehicles.

Beyond what has already been discussed the only real benefit I can see from war is the technological advancements which are made. Especially within the medical field. You could also look at the cold war between America and Russia and probably argue that we wouldn't have landed on the moon (as soon as we did) and build a space shuttle capable of doing that if it wasn't for the massive dick measuring competition these two countries were having.

Is it a equal trade? Killing thousands of people for advancing medical care such as Penicillin which has saved thousands? It depends on the mentality that you have. Whether saving the majority is better than a select few. It's the typical dilemma where you are given a decision to make on which rail would pick the with three people tied to or one person. There's probably not a perfect answer to this, and war probably isn't justified ever. But, we shouldn't ignore the benefits which do come from war whether it's justified or not.

Yes, but this isn't a reason to support war. In fact you might argue that this is a reason to not support war as it encourages greed and dominance. For example, if you asked people about monopolies in the business world people would more than likely say they are bad and small businesses should be given a chance to compete. Well, if the USA declared war on a smaller country to gains it's power, profits and strategical position is that really a good thing?

This is why World War happened. A coalition was formed against German forces and their allies to prevent them from gaining superior control. Of course, there was other things like eradicating a race etc. This is why I feel that in this particular situation war was justified. It was preventing another country from eradicating a race, and taking out several countries.

You are probably right from the defendants view. Although, flip that around and try to support the country which is attacking for what is probably for political gain, or power. There's two sides and it's people shouldn't support their country declaring war just for power, greed or what ever.

What about preemptive strikes? If some country thinks that another nation is making preparations to attack them, then the former may launch a sudden attack in order to gain an upper hand. This was the justification given by Nazi Germany for invading the USSR.

Everything happens for a reason --- and this includes supporting war. What comes in first to my mind when I hear about the word 'war' is violence. If war is violence, then we should not tolerate war since violence have nothing to bring but pain, sorrow, and destruction. However, this would not equally necessarily mean that we shouldn't fight back. To declare first for a fight is bad, but to declare that you are going to fight back is different. The three main reasons to support war is first, if there is an existence of rebellion. Second, if there is an invasion that threatens our country's sovereignty. Third and lastly, of there is a threat in existence of terrorism. These are the things that pushes a government to declare war.

If we would think, war isn't making good effects as it always leave people in pain and sorrow. But still, there is a practical use of war which would end up in positive things. First is having rebellion inside the country. Another if there is invasion in our sovereign. Also is if there is a threat of having terrorism. This were all on our Constitution as a guideline to have a rise of war. Declaration of war should be undergone through series of debate for it to be passed. This might caused a good effect of having declaration of war.

The growth of resources is linear, and the population grows exponentially. When population growth exceeds the growth of resources, the surplus population is always consumed in the form of war.

Fight for survival and development space.

Competition for production and living materials.

The struggle for the right to define justice.

Yes, your'e absolutely right. One of the main reasons why a certain country wage war on another country is because they want their territories,resources and supplies like oil, bank reserves or gold reserves. But, there is also a possibility that this about raising of funds.
Obviously, when you go to war, you'll need every weapons available to fight the enemy and in this case, what's the effective way to requests budget from this?  Surely, to request fundings which will come from taxpayers money. I believe they orchestrated their own war because they manufacture their own weapons,guns,ammunition, war ships,tanks and missiles. Im talking about united states here. Yes, i believe they often declare war because literally there's money on it and they gain great profit from it.

A war to stop tyranny and a dictatorship which infringes on the Fundamental Human Rights of its citizens is always justified. A war which seeks to end genocide is always justified.

A normal human being should not be thinking of war, u used USA as a case study the war they are fighting is not a civil war perhaps its a civil war they will know that war is bad, they were unable to feel the pain and the agony they caused the nation they want to empower. we should be praying everyday that war should not come near  our jurisdictions, only the northern in nigeria can explain the wrath of military and boko haram with herds men gun, bombing and killings. War destroy resources its causes famine . I pray we will not experience such in our land. there is no reason to support war. Round table is the solution to man kind problem. Arthur has started it and we should admire that and does the same. thanks.

War is only allowed as a last resort. Whenever there is lawlessness and decline of morality the miscreants should be put down to protect the innocent, is how it is put in the classics. This includes self preservation, to protect yourself from invaders. I think the most frequent reason why a country fights in is natural resources, other than that another reason would be Patriotism, a belief that there is no other option available, because the cause for which you are fighting is just and valid, to defend your beliefs, values, country and family ..

War should be supported in some cases, some of the are;
Wen there is famine, and there is no much food. When people go on war, some will die through it and there by reducing the population of that region. On one word, it is used to reduce population.
War should also be supported  to gain  freedom, when people terrorise another people, it later lead to war there by, the two parties go on separately

I suppose it depends on the aggression level and the rhetoric coming from that country. If they are talking like "We mad, we blow you up!" and they start launching bombs in your direction to try and provoke a response than they are giving you no reason to believe that they wont attack. but, maybe you should just hope for the best and prepare for the worst. Personally, I would hate to be the first one to make a move on anything other than peace talks.

to protect their way of life- i would disagree it's the 21st century, there are different ways of solving this problem. As of bettering way of life- i agree. Some countries are taking aggressive measures and attacking other countries not to name specifics , then yes war is needed

The only reason to support war is if you are getting some kind of gain from it. I don't mean to say that this is a good or noble reason, but it is usually the reason. Many people in this thread have brought up the point that governments often to go war to secure some resources. This is very often the case. The scary thing is though that private companies have so much more to do with it than we might think at first glance. Typically private companies produce the weapons that governments pay billions of tax-payer dollars on. It is then typically private companies that go in and help rebuild the infrastructure in countries the government spent billions to destroy. It is then private companies that also go in and take over resource extraction and sales. It's all about money. It's a sick sick game.

There are some reasons to support any wars that your country and other allied countries wage. Let's divide it into two perspectives:

I. Supporting your country's wars

   a. Patriotism
           It is defined as an ideology of love and devotion to a homeland, and a sense of alliance with other citizens who share the same values.

   b. A belief that there is no other options available
            It is a common reason if your country face economic or military blockade that prevents your country's development and progress. Also, if your country and any agressive countries don't reach any treaty or agreement.

   c. Because the cause for which you are fighting is just and valid
              Let's face it. We have reasonable excuses, even if any people would look at it, they will say that it is valid.

   d. To defend your beliefs, values, country and family which is best done
               As the saying that goes around, "the best offense is defense". It is also a common reason to support your country's war.

   e. To grab teritories and geographical areas that are rich in resources
             We support wars to gain teritories and acquire resources that are critical in our economy.

II. Supporting allied country's wars

   a. Quelling any rebellions, threats, etc.
               This is important because it secure not only ourselves but also our prosperity and our laws.

   b. Rewards after the war
                A common reason why a country allied with another country in waging war is to get the rewards bound by their treaty once the war was won. It may be economic, geographic, political, or material rewards.

    c. Securing the future of your country
                 It is important to support other allied countries to ensure our future as a nation.

Here's just one example:

Because the axis powers (Germany, Italy, and Japan) had their eyes on conquering the world. And they were acting upon those goals. They invaded France, Poland, Western Russia, Manchuria, the Philippines, annexed Austria and Hungry, island hopping across the Pacific, and bombed Pearl Harbor.

Negotiations had been tried (N. Chamberlain) and despite agreements, their advancement did not cease.

It was only by use of military force that they were stopped.

I think it's very important to distinguish. There are different kinds of wars. It seems like recently there aren't a lot of "traditional" wars. So many wars these days seem to involved a country or countries sticking there noses into other countries' business across the ocean. I think it's pretty stupid to support a war like that. Patriotism is definitely a horrible excuse. If another country attacks your country, that is something completely different. Then I think it definitely makes sense to defend yourself.

The purpose behind all wars is hackneyed voracity. Individuals are insufficient calm stream of life. He who has control needs more power. He who is rich needs more cash. Thus in all things. More land, more control, more domain. For "somewhat more" individuals, tragically, are prepared for much. To wars, carnage, covetousness and ravenousness. The apocalypse is certainly not a characteristic disasters. Humanity will pulverize itself.

Has anyone here ever heard of the Gestapo? Rape of Nanking? How about ISIS?  I could go on but the only thing that would prove is there can be mass amounts of big-time evil in the world.  This can occur at nearly anytime and any place.  There is only one answer that these enemies understand.  Burying your head in the sand and blaming oil, money, US or whatever will do nothing.   I would truly love to be a pacifist but my world is too filled with potential dangers.
