Evolution of war.

In your opinion, how has war evolved from the past to present? Please use examples to justify your opinions.

The 2 ways war has evolved is the reason for the war and the technology used in the war. An example of a olden reason for a war is the Japanese Occupation from 1942 to 1945. The Japanese at that time wanted to be the master of Asia and the Pacific region, the reason for war then was over territorial differences. Now, for example the Iraq War that has been ongoing since 2003, was sparked because of the potential war sparker that Iraq had in possession, they were working on creating nuclear weapons to start wars.
For technology, its just the drastic change in weapons and artilleries used in wars in the past. Now more powerful and destructive tools for mass destructions are being used compared to the olden weapons that were used in the past.

  1. Hi weijin, this is Darrel. I think you have provided very little points with elaboration as there are definitely more to how war has evolved. Just something to ponder about, how has the torture techniques change from the first china war to the most recent WW2? Also, regarding your point that there is a drastic change in weapons, I fully agree with you. However, I feel that it would be better if you could give examples to support your point and how they are used and the impact possibly; for example the nuclear bombs. Thanks!
