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 (corkscrewcurls) involves discussion of genocide and the Holocaust.

But basing an entire war around it is just ridiculous.

How odd. Was the attack provoked?

[corkscrewcurls.livejournal.com]

Germany slowly started to take over Europe, I would think so.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Ah, I see. So it was a matter of conquest.

[corkscrewcurls.livejournal.com]

It usually is, but it's the little things that spark the idea.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

That situation sounds a bit like something that happened towards the beginning of our war.

[corkscrewcurls.livejournal.com]

War is a horrible thing, though on some occasions necessary. See Hitler.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Now, are you saying that his campaign was necessary, or that the subsequent war against him was?

[corkscrewcurls.livejournal.com]

The war against him, of course.

Er, because she's in favor of so-called "necessary" genocide afldsfjk it's horrible I'm sorry DX

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

But he was only trying to expand his nation's borders, correct?

Azula would >>;

[corkscrewcurls.livejournal.com]

He broke several treaties and comitted a crime known as genocide, that is to say he killed over nine million people.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Don't patronize me; I know what genocide is.

... Nine million? Are you from one of the worlds that has billions and billions of people?

[corkscrewcurls.livejournal.com]

yes, seven billion, I believe was the last count.

1/2

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I see.

2/2

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Regardless, if the people he wiped out were standing in the way of his goals...

[corkscrewcurls.livejournal.com]

They were innocent people!

The only thing against them was their race.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

What was their race doing that made him consider them that much of a threat?

[corkscrewcurls.livejournal.com]

absolutely nothing. The man was completely insane.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

If it was insanity, you should have said so in the first place. You made it sound as if he had a valid reason.

[corkscrewcurls.livejournal.com]

I did say the war was to stop him, did I not?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

You still made it sound as if the people he slaughtered were standing in his way of expansion, which would have been a valid reason for their destruction.

[corkscrewcurls.livejournal.com]

I did nothing to suggest that.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

You said that he was trying to conquer all of "Europe", whatever that is. I put two and two together and assumed that the genocide had something to do with that.

[corkscrewcurls.livejournal.com]

yes... and generally those who try to take over the world, are certifiably insane.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Not if they go about it realistically.

[corkscrewcurls.livejournal.com]

even thinking that you could conquer something so big puts at debate of being insane.
