The American Revolution was mainly a political movement; however there were some social and economic factors. Much of this can be seen in movies such as The Patriot. This movie tells the story of a reluctant hero, Benjamin Martin, who enters the war after his family, becomes endangered by the British. Martin and his son take up arms against the British by leading a small militia into battle. Martin soon realizes that the only way to protect his family and freedom is to fight for a young nation’s liberty (The Patriot). This movie a positive insight to the war through the main character. Economics and society factored in the conflict, as well, with the hardness of the taxes and the settler’s need for a fair leader.

First of all, the conflict was partially economic because the colonies were full of natural resources and King George was interested in the money that he could get from them. The King and Parliament, in an effort to gain more money from the colonies, oppressed

The American Civil war was also a necessary evil. This war is depicted in several movies such as Gettysburg and Glory. Glory is a great movie about the 54th Regiment, which is composed of free black men. These men from Massachusetts fight for the freedom of their enslaved brothers in the South (Glory). This movie puts a positive twist to war in that the blacks took up arms too to support a cause, which is something they had never done before. The movie Gettysburg is an epic retelling of personal and historical events surrounding the decisive battle of the Civil War (Gettysburg). The South, which was known as the Confederate States of America, seceded from the North, which was also known as the Union, for many different reasons. They wanted to secede because between the North and South there were deep economic, social, and political differences. The South wanted to become an independent nation. There were many reasons why the South wanted to succeed but the main reason had to do with the North's view on slavery. All of this was basically a different interpretation of the United States Constitution on both sides. In the end all of these disagreements on both sides led to the Civil War.

Another explanation for the outbreak of war was the Balkans crisis where Slavs continued to try to separate from Austria-Hungary and also whether one of the European powers should control them. This eventually developed until the point where Austria-Hungary found an excuse to attack Serbia in the assassination and proceeded to do so. They were also under much pressure from Germany to do so which meant that Russia then went to war against the central powers, in turn so did France. Germany were to march onto France anyway; to abide by the Schlieffen Plan they would march through Belgium which had a much older treaty with Britain to protect its neutrality. So by the 4th of August 1914, seven countries had been dragged into war by their allies (Adams).

Considering their circumstances, it is not surprising that they decided that a democracy could be more effective in fairly ruling a nation. This is an excellent example of a necessary evil. America was no longer a truly British nation, so they decided to break away. It was the British who instigated and prolonged the war. Many of the people in the colonies considered themselves American, not English and felt that it was necessary to separate from Britain, no matter what the cost.

The Great War had numerous causes that can all be linked together in a few key principals, the main one being the need for power; all causes are linked via the desire of countries to aspire to more power. The trigger is linked to this because the assassination was committed as a result of nationalist views of the terrorist group, which they wished to prevent further persecution of their nation and independence for more Slav countries. The rivalries were all linked to the nationalist ideology; that of France-Germany was mainly associated with the liberation of Alsace and Lorraine and the dispute over Morocco. The Britain-Germany rivalry was based on the imperialist views which is in itself was a sprout of nationalism; a desire to push one’s country further. The Russia-Austria Hungary is solely power based, as it is a feud over the control of the Balkans. That is not to say that just because nationalism is a big link between the causes that this ideology is to take full responsibility (Marix).

Vietnam was a struggle which is graphically depicted in movies such as The Green Berets, which was one of the first American films specifically about the Vietnam War. It also offered a pro-intervention perspective at the height of the conflict. Filmed along the conventions of a World War II action drama, a gung-ho colonel battles the vicious Viet Cong while protecting innocent civilians, befriending an orphaned boy, and reforming a liberal newspaperman's misg
