GEOGRAPHY AND WAR

I disagree with the ideas developed in the text, because I honestly think that a war can be started by any reason and not always geography is important. Throughout the centuries, we have seen that war is usually caused by countries with different ideals, ways of living, economical issues, religion, cultures, etc. Moreover, when these countries decide to fight for what they think is fair they do not take into account geography and start a war wherever and whenever they want. I may be wrong but we know about battles that have been set on places where is somewhat difficult to fight, and most of the soldiers and the people around have died because of the weather, high or low temperatures, sand storms, etc. However, I think that nowadays the military have thought about the features of the battlefield before they go there to fight.
