@jshm2 thats true. Countries dont only form from direct war, but war torn countries might find an opening for a revolution or independance if the leading government has been suppressed (civil war).
Is it because as individuals we all want some form of power over others because we confuse it with wealth?
Or do we actually concider it freedom when we kill off those who dont have the same values as us?
Or are the values of leader inherently selfish because of thier position?

I had to coax this answer out of the darn AI. It's like it didn't want to answer.

One example of a country where war was not required for its formation is:
Iceland: Iceland gained independence from Denmark through a peaceful process, with the Danish-Icelandic Act of Union in 1918, which established Iceland as a sovereign state in a personal union with Denmark. This union was later dissolved in 1944, when Iceland became a republic, all without the need for war.

Here are a few more examples of countries where war was not required for their formation:
Norway: Norway gained independence from Sweden through a peaceful process, with the dissolution of the union between Norway and Sweden in 1905.
Czech Republic: The Czech Republic was formed in 1993 through the peaceful dissolution of Czechoslovakia, a process known as the Velvet Divorce.
Slovakia: Similarly, Slovakia was also formed in 1993 through the peaceful dissolution of Czechoslovakia.
Malta: Malta gained independence from the United Kingdom through a peaceful process, with the Malta Independence Act in 1964.
Bahamas: The Bahamas gained independence from the United Kingdom through a peaceful process, with the Bahamas Independence Act in 1973.
Singapore (initially): While Singapore's later separation from Malaysia was a complex process, its initial formation as a self-governing state in 1959 was a peaceful one, with the UK granting it internal self-government.
