The provocateur is often the majoritarian state, and that state’s rationalization for fighting is always the preservation of the majority principle.

 The New Yorker: Fact   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
The states were almost all dynastic, with shifting frontiers, and it is surely significant that, in the immensely rich historiography of the Islamic world in Arabic, Persian, and Turkish, there are histories of dynasties, of cities, and, primarily, of the Islamic state and community, but no histories of Arabia, Persia, or Turkey.
Between the two, there was to be a perpetual state of war until the entire world either embraced Islam or submitted to the rule of the Muslim state.

 Chinese History - Warring States Period
Meanwhile, the individual states that had composed the Middle Kingdom were busy beating the crap out of each other; the regional rulers had given off calling themselves dukes or lords or hegemons or whatever and just went straight to the big title: wang, or king.
