The point of war is that it allows the various doniment factiosn in each society, challange each other to be overall dominent.
It's basic animal behaviour.
WW1 was simply an extension of that, England, Germany and Russia, fighting it our to be overall dominent. England had been top since the mid 18th century, seeing off the only challanger, France. England's powerbase was its control over enormous overseas resources and and manpower.
That left England as number one, France as number two.
Germany challanged France in the 1870s and destroyed the empire of Napoleon III. Germany then sought to challange England.
WW1 would undoubtedly have dragged on for a few more years until England eventualy won, possibly with Russia backing things up. England would have remains ad number one, with Russia asn number two.
But then America interviened, tipping the balance. England had an easy victory, completey undeserved. Germany was left feeling rather like the boy in the playground who is defeated because his opponent brings on his big brother. Russia was pushed out into the cold.
Then Germany rebuilds its own game and tries again, in WW2 but once again.
Russia and England again unite to challange but America again comes to England's defence, artificially defeating Germany. Once again, Russia is isolated and pushed into the cold.
The priblem is England. It's past it. But like some once powerful, but now old and weak old man, continues to antoganise, knowing it can call upon its big brother US, to back it up.
The cold war may have been a stalemate. It was and is an utterly disgraceful threat upon humanity, not to mention an intolerable drain on world resources. The only solution is for America to dump England.
