Wars start for very complex reasons, and the immediate cause is just a trigger for forces that are waiting to be let loose. There are several ways to really prevent war, most importantly, ensure that the international order is accepted by all of the major powers involved. If nobody is dissatisfied, their interests will be to preserve peace as a better way to achieve their goals than way. Only in situations like 30's Germany, where one power is very dissatisfied with the way things are and see war as being a better way to solve its problems than peaceful means. Wayne
