Race of weaponization and international peace
Attacks for food and shelter are as old as human history itself. There have been a warlike situation among ancient tribes and modern nations. First it was for acquiring more agricultural area or ripe agriculture and then it turned to trade and commerce. After establishment of industries and manufacture of food, cloth and other utility items, there have been greater inventions in the fields of weapon industry. The weapons were first made to protect against enemy and now there is separate trading system with separate ministries for its sale and purchase. After WWI and II, it has been seen a rapid growth in the industries. Many countries have evolved as Nuclear Power states with having nuclear weapons. The demand and manufacture of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) has risen up to alarming situation. The more the weapons the secure the country.
The need of weapons is old. Individuals and people use weapons for self-protection. These weapons are also used for killing animals for food and skin. The major use of arms is to defend from and attack others. Such use is on top of the list. The weapons has now become a terminating machine for animals and humans. Though such was not the intention of the inventors, the weapons are far more used to kill than to save. cave-men invented stone and metalic knifes for killing animals for food. Alfred invented dynamite for breaking huge rocks for making roads on there and manufacturing of cement and other useful material. It was later and is now the arms have got quite a different use.
WWI and WWII were far more an economic than a political wars. These wars were to show the national strength and dominance of one nation on another. It was a war of trade that was fought with weapons. All countries used those WMD to annihilate and humiliate other nations. Millions of people were killed. The WWII displayed a worst picture of mass destruction of life and infrastructure when USA dropped atomic bombs on Japan that killed five hundred thousand people in five minutes. The Germans massacred Jews and Italy massacred Germans.
Post WW scenario changed. The countries started focusing on defence system. Much of the national revenue was used to make and purchase arms. People of the states went poorer and poorer but no compromise was made to put aside national security. Take an example of North Korea. The President once said'we will eat grass but make atom bomb'. Socio-economic conditions of North Korea were to be seen during the phase of 1990 to 2009 when it launched its first successful experiment of Nuclear weapon! Such is the condition of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Brazil. They all are in race of making nukes and other WMD to stay safe.
