International politics

According to Frieden, Lake and Schultz in their book, World Politics, “[a]t the root of every war lies a conflict over something that states value. [Therefore] the purpose of warfare is not to fight but rather to obtain, through fighting or the threat of fighting, something the state wants” (2016:93). Discuss this statement.  Make sure you use at least one event to illustrate your point. Your position should be presented with not more than 350 words.
