Why Do Countries Choose to Fight Instead of Negotiate?

Sometimes, fighting feels easier than talking. Imagine two kids in a playground who both want the same toy, instead of sharing or asking nicely, they just push each other and start a big fight. That’s kind of what happens between countries. They might feel strong, and they think if they show that strength, the other side will back down. But sometimes, talking is better, it can save time, energy, and even lives.
