What is the function of war?-Han seung gu

 War is a barbaric and violent tragedy. We must reject it to move toward a better developed society. But war has a variety of effects apart from that. Because of this, I think there have been many wars in history.

First, war serves as a solution to the problem. In particular, when conflicts and problems arise inside the country, it is also a means to turn the cause outside. In some cases, the only solution left is really war. This includes the defense war. Because of these characteristics, some argue that war is the only solution to the problem. The logic is that it maintains the social organization structure through war, maintains the social class through nationalism, and allows the people to obey the government.

Second, war is helpful for technological development. It can also be found in the guns, germs, and metal of Jeremy Diamond. Previous countries needed more innovative weapons to win the war. More technology was needed and developed for this. Of course, it is questionable whether this will be meaningful even in the present time when mutual verification destruction is possible.

Finally, war makes money. Throughout the war, some countries undergo tremendous economic revival. That was the case with the United States of World War I. During the war, the most important demand in capitalism increases explosively. During the war, military supplies and other supplies are sold explosively. The United States has become a very wealthy nation through this money, and it has become an advanced country.

As such, war may solve a variety of problems, but after the war, there is a bigger problem that takes on the nation's survival. Indeed, the U.S., which gained huge wealth, also suffered from the Great Depression after World War I.
