All through the conflict between the Kauravas and the Paandavas He never uttered a single word. He only helped the Pandavas whenever his help was sought by them. Even just before the war He went to Hasthinapur as an emissary to bring about reconciliation between the Paandavas and Kauravas who were first cousins. In spite of the fact that He was being humiliated by Duryodhana the eldest of the Kauravas, He only tried all possible ways to avert the war. After the war became inevitable and when both Duryodhana and Arjuna approached him for help, He as per their requests gave His entire army to the Kauravas and became the charioteer of Arjuna after telling Arjuna that He will only be a charioteer unarmed, without participating in the war. Just before the war He even met Karna ,Who was actually the eldest son of Kunthi, the mother of the Paandavas, and told him about the fact that the Pandavas were really his own younger brothers (Krishna was one of those very few who knew the secret of Karna’s birth) because he was quite sure that once this fact is revealed the Paandavas will only be too eager to crown Karna who was their eldest brother and once Duryodhana comes to know this truth he will only be too happy to give away the kingdom due to the Paandavas to Karna who was his greatest, and true friend. This would mean that the war could be averted. Lord Krishna knew
