Is it true that all wars started at the hands of a man?

Question

rob: she couldn't help if her old man couldn't get the job done

neil: that is so lame brain

yars: you do know that if i had meant mankind i would have said...hands of man
i said "hands of A man"

turbo: were you abused by a woman sometime in your life. everyone knows most women are the cradle of life. i know they are some violent women but studies show that men are way more aggressive
than women. the fact still remains that throughout history men are to blame for 90% of the violence in our world.
men are more apt to jump to conclusions
where women are more apt to think it through

Answer 1

Just about.

Although Golda Meir (female Prime Minister of Israel) decided against launching a pre-emptive attack on Egypt because she correctly assessed that she would recieve no material assistance from the USA if she did so. In this manner the Yom Kippur War (1973) was started by the Arab Nations (led by men). The Arabs thus ensured they would ultimately lose because the US then supplied arms to bolster Israel.

The War of Jenkins Ear (1739 -1748) was stared by an ear rather than a hand - Captain Robert Jenkins of the ship Rebecca had his ear cut off by the Spanish Coast Guard and this gave Britain the excuse to go to war with Spain.

Answer 2

There have been powerful women in history. As far as wars they've waged, you'd have to do the research. Queen Elizabeth the first expanded Britian greatly during her reign. I can't imagine doing so without a war. Cleopatra and Indira Ghandi were also great leaders. Margaret Thatcher wouldn't hurt to be researched either.

Answer 3

In most cases yes but not all. you forget Cleopatra's role in a roman /egyptian war. There was the dowager empress of china who started the Boxer rebellion in china. Boadicea in roman britian started an anti-roman rebellion. I'm not sure but benazir bhutto of pakistan may have started a war with India. So you see woman aren't always sugar and spice and everything nice.

Answer 4

That's the same old tired line they've been teaching in college Women's Studies classes for decades now. Amazing that they haven't come up with anything original since I was a student.

Answer 5

Just because women have not been in power for most of history, nor have they run many countries in modern history, does not make the MYTH of the peaceful nurturing woman true.

Data shows that women are just as violent as men. Almost half of all domestic violence is instigated by women, over half of all child abuse done by women.

The myth of the peaceful and nurturing woman needs to die under the light of truth.

Answer 6

Could be....
But since war is as old as humans are I think there might be a few that were started by women. But who knows

Answer 7

How could an act of human existence occur without humans? You do know you mean men and women both by using the word man.

Answer 8

No, I'm currently waging a war with a neighbor and it has more to do with his dog crapping on my lawn. The Murphys & Wiggins are siding with me. The Johnsons and Kinns are with them. The Schmitds (German you know) will side with with whoever can shout the loudest. And the Roncalli' are going to wait to see whose winning before committing.

Answer 9

No,,,you should study history and learn something. Most all wars were caused or started by a women or her influence on a man.

Answer 10

Not at all, some are started over women, i.e., the war with Troy.
