| Summary: | It is impossible to find a nation in the world that has existed and still exists
that has not faced the trials of war in its history and has not tried to emerge from
this war with fewer losses and better results. As for the ways to achieve this, after
various observations and generalizations, extremely different and dissimilar views
and opinions have emerged from time to time. However, since these ideas and
considerations could not go beyond the level of social evolution of the time, the
issues of interest were explained in a simple way and were based more on subjective
thinking. Although the conclusions of the authors of simple ideas, unscientific
generalizations and theories are of historical importance, they failed to reveal the
objective causes of wars and the regularities of war management. They also created
misconceptions about the emergence and operation of wars. This article briefly aims
to create a picture of the development of ideas and concepts about the essence and
nature of war from ancient times.
