THERE WERE 11 WORLD WARS? WHY HASN'T ANYONE TOLD ME!?
I enjoy studying about the Vietnam war because it showed that even a super power trembles before properly supported geurrilla warfare being fought by South Vietnamese communists who aren't well trained if not at all.
Then again the United States probably would have just destroyed North Vietnam had China and the Soviet Union stayed out of the way.
I quite like to read about Russia and Georgia dispute that happened last year, in which Georgia was breaking into two seperate parts, and Russia stepped in and wanted to claim the land as theres.
Psychology for me. Understanding human action and behavior is fascinating to me. To know that both external and internal factors can trigger certain emotions and feelings which in turn causes us to act in a certain way and precieve events differently is amazing.
I love psychology as well you can probe the deepest parts of someones mind as well as screw around with people, playing mind games. Only problem is thatmost of it is theory and conflicting with each other. Another problem is that it despite what Zimbardo says abou Reicher and Haslam it is not a war, I do not mean to sound patronisong or aggressive but I fear you have misunderstood this thread. As Freaud would say I have issues (gotta love Robin Williams).
True, there have been many past world leaders who have had some way or another a psychological problem, then they were set off by something, and then started a war against what set them off.
