The Driving Causes Of The Taranaki War

“The Cause of War” is a book written by Australian author Geoffrey Blainey. The book is a collection of studies from wars since 1700’s and it analysis the relation of rivaling nations. The book is divided in four parts it starts discussing the weakness behind the current theories of peace, it then moves to talk the “ingredients” which are key for a nation to determine whether they will go to war or not. Third part of the group is about some misleading theories of war, and the last part just deals with the variety of war.

A small nation with widespread brutality and domestic violence, Papua New Guinea, located in the southwestern Pacific Ocean, struggles with multiple developmental challenges. It is one of the poorest countries on the planet per capita, as well as one of the most culturally diverse with over 800 languages are spoken there (Campano).

The country is in desperate need of social services for the many abused and battered woman and the vengeful violent acts that take place for accused witchcraft

As it is said, “the victor writes history.” As a student, we believe that we know the history. But this is not true. We do not know African American history beyond the slave trade. Similarly, we know little about the American Indians, now referred to as Native Americans. The history we learnt that glossed over details and left students with the feeling that the immigrants from the United Kingdom and other European countries benefitted the native population. The search for the history of cowboys versus Indians will be challenging. Ethan Hawke and Greg Roth have resolved this challenge through their graphic novel, INDEH: A Story of the Apache Wars. In their collaborative work, Hawke and Roth successfully show readers that they may assume that they know Native American history, they do not. students were taught American history from the viewpoint of immigrants. The cowboy and Indians wars which erupted between Native Americans and the immigrant settlers was a war over territory and over culture and different lifestyles. It was not a war between savages and people from an advanced culture. Hawke and Roth show us that a war over resources and the determination of the settlers and immigrants to rule over what they referred to as the “New World.”

It is often misunderstood when determining what caused the American Civil War. There are many key components that led to the war between the Unions and the Confederates. The many components consists of unresolved constitutional issues, the economy, slaves, politics, and cultural components.

The Tuscarora War was a four-year war fought in North Carolina from 1711 to 1715 between European settlers and the Tuscarora Indians. The European settlers and Tuscarora Indians both had other Indian tribes as allies, including the Yamasee and Cherokee Indians for the settlers. The Tuscarora Indians were split up between Northern Tuscarora, led by King Tom Blount, and Southern Tuscarora, led by Chief Hancock, with the Northern Tuscarora siding with the settlers. Before the war, there was an alliance between the settlers and the Tuscarora Indians. One of the many causes that sparked the Tuscarora War was that the settlers were taking advantage of the Indians and weren’t abiding by the alliance.

Wars happen because societies can come across conflict, different opinions, or simply people on country may be interested in anothers land or resources. A war that can relate to this is the second Seminole War which first began in the 19th century. This war started because of discrimination over the Native American people and the drive to have them relocate for their land.

The event which impacted the ending wars between the United States Army and the Indian nations was the passing of the Dawes Act. One of the top arguments facing the government was the concept that many reformers inferred about the dream of conforming the Indians into a piece of our countries’ white culture. The Dawes Act divided reservations into sections consisting of 160 acres per family to live in; therefore, the remainder of the land would be given to the surrounding white settlements. Although the Dawes Act seemed like a great benefit for the Indians, in many instances this was not true. The Indians’ lives were greatly affected by this act; the natives as the original land owners for generations

When the British settlers arrived on the Powhatan territory, the Indians did not see them as a threat, it was a mutual relationship. When the Powhatan realised that the British’s intention was to own the land, conflict aroused as the Indians do not believe in man owning land. The British suffered an Indian attack in 1607, two weeks after the British arrival, but the Indians were fought off with weapons such as muskets and cannons. This was the start of the Powhatan wars.

There are numerous causes that can be stated to justify the war and discussions over the causes of the war have been vast (Ropes, 1889). Two of the most important however focus on the historical background on the one hand and the geopolitical control over colonies on the other hand (Evera n.d) .

The purpose of this essay is to inform on the similarities and differences between systemic and domestic causes of war. According to World Politics by Jeffry Frieden, David Lake, and Kenneth Schultz, systemic causes deal with states that are unitary actors and their interactions with one another. It can deal with a state’s position within international organizations and also their relationships with other states. In contract, domestic causes of war pertain specifically to what goes on internally and factors within a state that may lead to war. Wars that occur between two or more states due to systemic and domestic causes are referred to as interstate wars.

Historical Background: Since the first ‘Maori’ person stepped foot on New Zealand, they have gone through many different time periods / transitions. They began in the Archaic period (1280 – 1500) that consisted of much wildlife and dependence on the land – the majority of their settlement was on or within six miles of the coast. They established themselves in small temporary camps inland with sizes ranging from forty people to almost four hundred with up to forty buildings. This time frame is famous for its lack of fortifications and weapons. Next, the Maori people entered the Classic period (1500 – 1642) known for its vast amount of natural disasters including earthquakes and tsunamis that destroyed many coastal settlements and caused the extinction of many food species (especially Moa – a typical meal for the Maori people). This caused a major shift for the Maori people as they began to develop pounamu (‘greenstone’) weapons and ornaments as well as very well crafted canoes – a shift into a warrior culture.

Prior to the arrival of the European settlers around 1800, the first settlers, the Māori, had lived on the islands for approximately 1000 years. It is believed that the Māori descended from the Polynesians. (http://www.teara.govt.nz/en/maori/page-2). By the mid 1800’s, European settlers and the Māori were engaged in wars over resources and territorial rule. The Māori – British

The Indo-Pakistani war of 1947 was the very first war fought between the two counties over Jammu and Kashmir. The war began when Pakistan sent troops from Waziristan into Kashmir in order to obtain their land. When the king of Kashmir, Hari Singh, realized what Pakistan was doing to Kashmir, he pleaded with India for help. “Tensions exploded in October 1947 when the Pathan Muslims of Poonch rebelled against the Hindu landowners of Kashmir. On October 22, Pakistan sent troops into the region, brutally taking Muzaffarabad and Uri, burning a swath of destruction wherever they marched, and killing Hindu civilians,”(“Indo-Pakistani War, 1947-1948,”, n.d.). Indian government made a legal document called the Instrument of Accession stating that they
