It takes more than pride to start a war. In times before war there's what I like to call controlled chaos, strenuous ties held together by thin ideals, when the element of control is removed you just have chaos and conflict. When other are not present they didn't see what removed the element of control and don't have all the facts and almost always there's the side that likes to tell the story so that they look better, but when all is said and done the parties involved know the truth and can't hide from there own guilt that's just how the cookie crumbles.
