Summary
We’ve all gotten into fights. So what happens when countries and other large groups of people fight? In this BrainPOP movie, Tim and Moby explore what happens when nations can’t resolve their differences with negotiation. You’ll discover how wars start, what countries can argue over, and how long war has been around. You’ll also learn how people’s attitudes towards war have changed over time. See how wars affected the 20th century, how war has changed in modern times, and what some countries are now doing to try to prevent it.
