The “cold war” did not deteriorate into a real war because the US and the USSR felt matched in power, but several small wars-by-proxy were waged when one side felt achievement through force is possible: in Afghanistan, for example, the Soviets invaded expecting low opposition, resulting in the US funding of the Mujahadin/Taliban. The fighting state is triggered by lack of willingness to compromise, and the willingness to compromise is a function of the relative power of the adversaries. Perceived power disparities decide on war outbreakĪ world war is created when large political powers fight for control of resources, territory or influence. That’s one good thing about Globalisation.There are too many pacts against such a war.Large defence pacts result in world wars.
