War has been and remains a central phenomenon in human relations. When we first start to investigate the causes of the war, the process inevitably leads us to understand and work. Thucydides' History of the Peloponnesian War, which is the oldest reference source in the history of international relations, is my main text in this study and I evaluate the elements that build the war. Hobbes, a good reader of Thucydides, emphasized the founding nature of the war and the current wars and the war, which is also likely to live, were evaluated in the light of conceptual and theoretical analyses. The thesis is based on the fact that human emotions are at the forefront as the causes of war and that the war imposes its own system on human beings since the beginning of the war. In this study, the order-building feature of war proceeds again based on the fact that it is highly compatible with human nature.
