State conflict has deep roots in the course of human history. In this context, conflict often arises due to conflicting interests between nations and states, which can be triggered by political, economic, social and cultural factors. History shows that state conflicts are often triggered by imperialism, colonialism and the struggle for independence. For example, World Wars I and II marked the important impact of international conflict involving many countries with diverse motives, ranging from territorial domination to ideology. One concrete example is the Arab-Israeli conflict, which has its roots in the late 19th century when the Zionist movement emerged. When the land of Palestine was declared a homeland for the Jewish people, a significant demographic shift emerged that resulted in tensions and, ultimately, armed conflict. Over time, several wars and peace negotiations, such as the Oslo Accords, attempted to resolve this dispute, but the situation has not stabilized until now. On the other hand, domestic conflicts are also often a reflection of social and economic injustice. In many countries in Africa and Asia, civil wars often occur due to discrimination by ethnic or marginalized groups. The civil war in Rwanda in 1994 is a tragic example where tensions between Hutu and Tutsi tribes led to genocide. This event not only highlights human cruelty, but also shows how history and ethnic identity can create long-lasting conflict. Technological aspects also play an important role in the country’s conflict history. In the modern era, advanced weapons and cyber warfare have changed the way countries fight wars. Countries can engage in conflict without having to be directly involved on the battlefield. Cyber attacks on a country’s critical infrastructure are the latest example of a new way of engaging in conflict. Reliance on information technology presents new challenges in national security. From a historical perspective, it cannot be ignored that many state conflicts are also steeped in colonialism. Countries that were once colonized often struggle to overcome the legacy left by colonial rule, including artificial national borders that do not take into account ethnic and cultural aspects. This led to inter-ethnic conflicts and tensions in many places, including in colonial destinations in Africa, Asia, and even in the Middle East region. Moreover, state conflict analysis must also consider the role of non-state actors, such as militant groups and terrorist organizations. Organizations such as Al-Qaeda and ISIS operate in the void left by weak states, seeking to capitalize on existing discontent to recruit members. In many cases, this dissatisfaction is the result of long-standing social and economic injustice, as well as neglect by national governments. By understanding the dynamics of state conflict through a historical lens, we can gain deeper insight into its causes and possible solutions. Every conflict brings lessons that can be used to prevent the same mistakes from being repeated in the future. Therefore, it is important to continue to conduct studies and discussions on state conflicts from a broader perspective, in order to be able to respond to growing global challenges. It also includes recognition of the historical diversity that influences relations between countries, which is the foundation for efforts to create sustainable peace throughout the world.
