 The Philosophy of War [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
War certainly generates confusion, as Clausewitz noted calling it the "fog of war", but that does not discredit the notion that war is organized to begin with.
Many who explain war's origins in man's abandonment of reason also derive their thoughts from Plato, who argues that "wars and revolutions and battles are due simply and solely to the body and its desires." That is, man's appetite sometimes or perpetually overwhelms his reasoning capacity, which results in moral and political degeneration.
Just war theory begins with an assessment of the moral and political criteria for justifying the initiation of war (defensive or aggressive), but critics note that the justice of warfare is already presumed in just war theory: all that is being outlined are the legal, political, and moral criteria for its justice.

The First World War was the first continent wide war between the newly industrialized countries of Europe: starting out as a local war between Austro-Hungary and Serbia, it mushroomed into a world wide conflict involving 32 nations, inflicting incalculable genetic damage on all of the nations involved.
