In all those examples cooperation was the deterrent that made them think multiple times before going to war.
And lack of it would have meant easier and multiple wars.
deterrent are a vital part of peace. And peace is like a stack of cards built on multiple deterrents.
you can see examples of lack of deterrent during history when wars where happening on the desire of a king and you can also see the beginning of deterrent working when kinds and queens married their children between them to keep peace going as long as possible.

Sure, but we have centuries of wars happening despite international trade so it's obviously not the sort of panacea people make it out to be. McDonalds specifically making countries think twice about war? Please. Shitty burgers are not that important.
- gls2ro 4y agoSorry I was not talking about McDonalds or a specific company. There you are right it does not matter one company. More about countries trading important things between them or having dependent economies.
