Pirandello’s short story is that there is a pain intrinsic to war that cannot be placated. Pirandello’s story is so powerful because it thematically breaks through many of the common associations with war. It strips away nationalism or love of country as a part of the justification of war.

A war between the U.S. and Mexico spanned the period from 1846 to 1847.

It all started in wake of the Caribou Gold Rush. But was it really a war or just a confrontation? I believe that the Chilcotin War was not a war at all‚ but a confrontation between members of Tsilhqot’in people and a work party cutting a road through their territory.
