How death can lead to a better life
No one who is sane likes war as such. None of us would like to be immersed in a conflict where life or death is a matter of chance.
However, there have been wars all the time, there are wars. Some resonate more than others, even if people die in all of them, which shows that we value some lives more than others. And there will always be wars.
Wars respond to many reasons, never to one, but they not only have negative consequences. Wars have very positive consequences.
Likewise, it is not a cause that initiates and maintains them. They are an accumulation of them. And it is the evolution of those causes that causes one or another country or side to win or lose them.

- Violations and robberies
- Economic paralysis

- Economic impulse
- Accelerated technological advances
- Social changes
- Resolution of the conflict (in case there really is a winner).
