The (Chinese) waring states era gets short shrift in west, and is pretty relevant to our interests. This article is to short to cover much, but does give a decent intro to the Mohists who were one of the most interesting groups active at the time. |

That's really interesting. Of course, I read 'make it impossible to attack another country' as 'give everyone nukes'. Hmm. I like this philosophy. |

I would have if I hadn't already gotten into medieval mode (though technically the warring states era predates the medieval era by ~a millennia). Also, I was somewhat disappointed that the article didn't say if the Mohists actually reduced the amount of warfare in the area, though its looks like they did have some success (according to themselves). |
