Is there any society or country that has fought wars 9-of-10 decades for the past ten centuries?
I noticed there seem to be a lot of wars going on in the world. Looking back, I ralized there were a bunch in the 1990s.
Then I remembered some that were going on in the 1970s and the 1960s.
I was wondering if there are any nations that rank as especially warlike, which my 9-out-of-every-10 decades benchmark is intended to flag.
In theory, war is a very uncommon and very unnatural state for a country to be in.
On the other hand, it actually does not seem as uncommon as I once thought that it was.

The reason for so many wars may be that Pakistan has often been ruled by the military who find wars (or the fear of it) necessary to continue their rule.

Incidentally, Pakistan having started all these wars, lost them all.
