When you go to war , you lose your soul
wars make fast progres in many type of technology
I think there are no good sides in war, because killing people is not normal and no one deserves to be killed by others. Everybody deserves to live in peace!
It depends on your perspective. Let's take for instance the Russian Ukrainian conflict. Russia wants to enhance it's borders and make the economy better, so they take Ukraine. Ukraine want nationality, so they don't want to be part of Russia.
In war, there is only negative and nothing else, although there is one advantage for people who earn in this way. For example companies producing military equipment that have benefited from the war.
I see only one positive side of wars. They can rally people, unite them and encourage patriotic spirit. But on the whole it is a terrifying phenomenon.
You are absolutely right, I have been studying history for 11 years now, and this is a correct statement.
People who think otherwise are either stupid or have little knowledge of the history of the world during the Second World War.

One of my favorite parts on Civil War History is the interesting little stories about friendship between the two sides. There was a story in my local paper a while back about some Union soldiers on one side of a river and Confederates on the other. The Yanks were hanging around looking harmless enough when some of the Rebs yelled over "what are y'all doing". They said they were from Ohio and their time was completed and they were just waiting to head back home. Then one yelled over about some Tobacco. The Rebs said "yeah, we have some" and one of the Yanks said "I'll trade you this nice Knife for some". They said OK and one swam out to a rock in the center, dropped off the knife. Then a Reb swam out to the rock, picked up the knife and left the tobacco. Once the bond grew stronger, some actually got comfortable enough to swim across the river to mingle with the other side. If there is or ever will be a book on stories like these, I'll be sure to add it to my collection.
It is too difficult to talk about the good sides of a war. Even if we come to something better (a better political regime, or technological advances), it is just nothing comparing to worth of millions of lifes.
I think there are few good sides in a war:
Draining the nations labour forces
Providing purpose for life of low class individuals

I agree that the anime is a very good one it's the best anime I've ever seen.I love it because its stories and characters are so beautiful.
There are often winners and losers, but plenty of times, there are just losers. Who actually won during the Vietnam War? The United States didn't. But did the Vietnamese? After all, they were left with the horrors of communism and a communist-led genocide next door.
The war is murder unless it is made for the defense of the country.
And defending your country somehow makes it justified and less of a murder? What if the government decides that the best way to defend their country is nuking the neighbouring country?
The other point is that war never ends, it just moves across the globe. At any point of time there is war raging somewhere on our planet.
And it will never stop, as now it is a form of business: selling weapons, services of private military companies, etc.
there is nothing good in it
I don't know. Whatever Hitler's plans for the Jews were before the war, he had his mind set in stone during the war that he wanted them gone. They had, as a scapegoat after all, unified his people and skyrocketed Germany up the economic and military ladder (amongst other important factors of course). I don't think he was interested in letting Russia survive as a country, nor any other country for that matter. He envisioned an empire greater than the Romans and a world in which space could be made for German colonies to repopulate the world. I think Christianity would have been enforced as the main religion, albeit even more skewed than what it already is - as in religious justification for everything that was done, why Aryans are the pure race, etc etc. The only reason he allowed things like Vichy France to exist was because France's colonial holdings were beyond the reach of his forces due to the British fleet amongst other things. If he had won the war, completely and totally, he would have slowly, deliberately, and surely annexed everything into a greater Third Reich and probably used most other peoples as slave labor to undertake massive projects (building cities for German colonists, etc).
Boйнa этo вceгдa бoльшaя бeдa и гope для людeй. мoжeт быть для тoгo ктo нaбивaeт кapмaны зa cчeт вoин этo и xopoшo, кoгдa caм cидит в дaлeкe oт peaлии и тoлькo ycпeвaeт дeньги cчитaть, нo для пpocтыx людeй этo oчeнь cтpaшнo и yжacнo.
There is no good or bad sides of war, its all about the perspective or the followings of one country.
war is good for the weapon dealers only. there is nothing good for usual people
We will always look at the wars of our states in different ways, because we have studied different stories. Although it should be one for everyone, but nevertheless history was written everywhere in different ways, taking into account the interests of the propaganda of each state. Wars are waged the same way, namely in the interests of each state, but there is nothing good in these wars!
There is no good sides of the war - but:
“History is always written by the winners. When two cultures clash, the loser is obliterated, and the winner writes the history books-books which glorify their own cause and disparage the conquered foe. As Napoleon once said, 'What is history, but a fable agreed upon?”
