Even the most bellicose nations on the planet are hardly likely to express a desire to wage war. The countries embroiled in active conflicts go to great lengths to proclaim their intentions are defensive in nature and wholly justified. Peace is a laudable and near-universal goal of the world's nations but it's also incredibly difficult to obtain. By looking at the historical and political context behind the top-ranking peaceful nations, a clearer picture of achieving lasting, sustainable peace emerges.
Even though militarism is rising in terms of ongoing conflicts, it is declining in military size. This paradox highlights a complexity in global peace dynamics, showing that while armed forces might be leaner, the atmosphere of conflict remains pervasive. The decreasing size of armies suggests a shift towards more diplomatic or non-military solutions, even in nations that have historically been involved in violence.
