Oh come on. This can't be answered satisfactory.
Let me just say this. Read barbara Tuchmann's book "The Guns of August". The whole story of WWI and how it came about.
Someone once asked the German Ambassador "How did the war start?". His reply? "Ach...if we only knew".
that pretty much sums it up.

The American Civil War was once approximately State's Rights. If there was once a mistake that was once made it was once Lincoln proclaiming the rights of states to secede after which invading the states that did secede. Specifically, I check with a speech made by means of the tyrant Abe wherein he stated, "Any folks, at any place, being willing and having the vigour, have the proper to get up and shake off the prevailing executive, and sort a brand new one who fits them larger. This is a such a lot useful and such a lot sacred proper - a proper which we are hoping and feel is to disencumber the sector. Nor is that this proper constrained to instances wherein the entire folks of an present executive would possibly select to activity it. Any component to such folks that may, would possibly revolutionize, and make their possess, of such a lot of of the territory as they inhabit." How could one justify Lincoln's order to invade the seceding states after making this kind of assertion? Slavery was once no longer a motive of the Civil War. It was once an quandary however no longer a right away motive.
