Is it really that unheard of for a major world-wide war to last one hundred years? How long to wars on your worlds last?

OOC: Sensitive topic warning- this thread with Minerva ([livejournal.com profile] corkscrewcurls) involves discussion of genocide and the Holocaust.

Heck no. Neither France or England operate under monarchies anymore. It started in 1337 and ended in 1453.

And the year for you now is...?

[personal profile] pandorabox 2009-03-09 07:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Haven't had a war as long since then.

Have you had any wars at all?

[personal profile] pandorabox 2009-03-09 08:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, we've had a few. But they only last about ten years or so.

[identity profile] peoplesprincess.livejournal.com 2009-03-09 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
And what purposes did they serve?

[personal profile] pandorabox 2009-03-09 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Why are wars ever fought? For political reasons, of course.

[personal profile] pandorabox 2009-03-09 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Not necessarily. There was a Civil War in America fought over slavery, and World War II was fought over race and human rights.

[identity profile] peoplesprincess.livejournal.com 2009-03-09 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, I've been told a bit about your "World War II".

[personal profile] pandorabox 2009-03-09 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
So I've seen. I bet you thought Hitler was justified too, didn't you?

From what I've heard he was insane. Insanity is never productive.

[personal profile] pandorabox 2009-03-09 08:26 pm (UTC)(link)
He was also apparently a brilliant military strategists.

Like you~!

[identity profile] peoplesprincess.livejournal.com 2009-03-09 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
If he was insane, he wasn't brilliant. I don't wake up one day and decide to slaughter an entire race of people for no discernible reason; that would be incredibly counterproductive.

[personal profile] pandorabox 2009-03-09 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)
That's not what I was talking about. He was insane, but he managed to practically brainwash and entire country because he was a brilliant military strategist.

[identity profile] peoplesprincess.livejournal.com 2009-03-09 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Brainwashing and propaganda really have very little to do with military strategy, nor do they require much intelligence to carry out.

[personal profile] pandorabox 2009-03-09 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Doesn't change the fact taht he was good at what he did.

She's doing this to get on his nerves :|

[identity profile] peoplesprincess.livejournal.com 2009-03-09 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
It sounds as if you're quite a fan.

And he was trying to get on hers XD

[personal profile] pandorabox 2009-03-09 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
What the he-- of course I'm not!

Sadly, "you're like this guy who committed genocide" isn't the worst of insults to Azula DX

H-he was going more for the insane part >>;;

[personal profile] pandorabox 2009-03-09 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
 

She considers the idea of being insane herself laughable :P

[identity profile] peoplesprincess.livejournal.com 2009-03-09 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes?

... Kaito thinks she's nuts D:
