Imagine your friend wants to fight another kid, but they don’t know if it's worth it. They might ask their friends or teacher for advice before deciding. Governments are like that, they talk to people and listen to reasons before choosing to go to war.
Sometimes leaders think a war will make them stronger or richer. Other times, they're scared and don’t want to be beaten. That’s how governments decide on war.
Examples
- A government goes to war because it wants to take over another country's treasure.
- Leaders start a war because they're scared and don't want to be beaten.
