Why do countries need to go to war? Why couldn’t they just talk about it and solve their problems?
• Remember the last time she had a fight with a friend, how angry they felt and how easily they lost control, and then tell her that war is what happens when two countries get angry with one another and lose control. • If she asks what makes them angry, I would say, sometimes a country gets angry because another one tries to take something that belongs to it, (like someone snatching a toy off her would make her angry), or sometimes because another country is making it look bad to other countries, or because people or things that the country loves are hurt by another one. • I’d tell her that countries are made up of people, and that people all make mistakes sometimes.
