WASHINGTON (Washington Insider Magazine)- If we compare the US political system to a dystopian society then we would say that it is divided into two distinct factions. So which US political party starts the most wars? The interesting outcome has been rebuking conventional perceptions that should be observed.
When we look back at the past 118 years, we have seen some ‘divergent’ and warmongering Democrats. On the other hand, there are also some amicable Republicans. One thing is for sure this subject has interestingly and surprisingly got everyone curious. The conventional-minded and a number of the XX-century Democratic presidents have been working hard to stop the starting wars.
None Of The US Presidents Has Been Successful In Staying Away From Military Aggression
According to the research since the 20th century out of the 8 US presidents, none of them has managed to stay away from military aggression. As a result, out of the 12 Republican leaders, two — Warren Harding and Gerald Ford —have been successful in deviating from the generally accepted party reputation.
Republicans Have Started A Few Wars
The republicans have also started many wars. They have lately given rise to war in Afghanistan and Iraq. It can be safely said that there are great large-scale wars in America that have occurred during the democratic administrations. These wars were compared to the much-demonized war and the terror looks are concerns for the drunken fistfight. Although Republicans have started a few wars it is nothing in comparison with the political wars started by the democrats.
Democrats Have Started The Most Wars
Democrats have started more wars when compared to Republicans. The party has only started wars after the founding of the Republican Party. Democrats started the Civil War, which was in response to the Republicans being elected president. Republicans also started the Spanish-American War which shook the world by storm. Democrats did not start this war but the US had to join World War 1 due to certain situations.

The First Iraq War was also started by the Democrats. The United States has also engaged in the Global War on Terror fought between Afghanistan and Iraq. When you consider history democrats have been the main party that has instigated most wars in the world.
Values and Wars
Values and wars have been rooted in American conservatism. The US Republican party is commonly referred to as the GOP. It has always viewed strong national defense and has kept the core principles intact.
Online users that have been visiting the GOP website today are encouraged to choose principles that are most important to them. The military must be strong and it should be prepared to fight any problems occurring on the shores.
There is a solid emphasis on military strength and national security and it is not wrong to say that the Republicans are more eager to partake in military endeavors. The US has been acting as the world’s policeman and the Republican party has been acting strong. It has played an important role in starting many wars and has urged the USA to join many ongoing wars as well.
President George W. Bush has named the Democratic former senator Chuck Robb and former judge Laurence Silberman as one of the biggest investors in the pre-war intelligence on Iraq’s weapons used for mass destruction. The threat of a nuclear war is also lingering in the world which has caused a lot of concerns for people all around the world.
The former Democratic senator Chuck Robb and former judge Laurence Silberman also examined the pre-war intelligence on Iraq’s weapons that lead to severe destruction. Some recent examples have held the Republicans responsible for instigating wars in the world.
The 2003 Iraq invasion which was done under the administration of the Republican president George W. Bush is another example of the same. This conflict was deemed to be over in 2011 and the deadly consequences are still far from settled. The world has been making efforts to regain harmony and peace but are unable to do so due to the Russia and Ukraine war concerns.
