Wars rarely end unequivocally - be it through surrender, a change of government, an armistice or a peace treaty. This seminar uses selected historical examples from the last five centuries to illuminate how wars were ended and which factors played a role. Various patterns will be analysed, from the importance of international diplomacy to the political, social and military dynamics that influence peace. Using events such as the Peace of Westphalia, the world wars and conflicts of the 20th century, it becomes clear that the path to peace is often just as complex as the war itself. The perception of the actors, the involvement of third parties and the after-effects on society play a decisive role. from the series: understanding peace. War is raging in Ukraine and the Middle East, but armed conflicts have also increased worldwide since 2011. As part of this series of events, we are looking at peace and conflict in historical, philosophical and educational contexts. In various lectures and workshops, key questions relating to conflict and peace theory will be raised and discussed together: How do wars start - and how do they end? At what point can we speak of peace? And how can peace education contribute to a non-violent future? Registration required.
