If that isn't war IDK what is.

Since you spoke to Galois, do you know how he got into that duel that lead to his death or who started the fight?

There's canned food, tea bags, digital photography, stainless steel.
Big leaps in the aerospace industry.
The Internet is the biggest and most important war baby, by far. You and I won't be talking to each other if not for war or at least, entities associated with war have decided to start this.
" The first workable prototype of the Internet came in the late 1960s with the creation of ARPANET, or the Advanced Research Projects Agency Network. Originally funded by the U.S. Department of Defense, ARPANET used packet switching to allow multiple computers to communicate on a single network. "

Human desperation can be a surprising innovator. When scientists know their nation is threatened, amazing shit can come out.
This is purely speculative but some even think if humans never had war, we would still be sitting lazily munching on gooseberries (okay im kidding on the second half on this sentence)
BIG DISCLAIMER: I'M NOT JUSTIFYING WAR, DON'T CHASTISE ME SPOON LOLOL
