Countries sometimes go to war because they think it will help them win. Imagine you and your friend are arguing over a toy. If you both keep fighting, someone might end up breaking the toy, but maybe that's better than letting your friend have it all the time. Countries do something similar: they fight to get what they want or to stop others from taking more.
Examples
- Two neighbors argue over a fence and decide to throw rocks.
