Session 2: Why Wars Begin And How They End

Every war has a trigger, but almost never just one cause. Every peace agreement has a signature, but rarely marks the true end of a conflict. This session examines why wars begin, why conflicts evolve differently, and what history can teach us about preventing future wars.
