Now, of the fighting races below heaven ; those who gained five victories have been worn out ; those who have won four victories have been impoverished; three victories have given dominion ; two victories have founded a kingdom ; and upon one victory an empire has been established. For those who have gained power on earth by many victories are few ; and those who have lost it, many. The Master said : The causes of war are five : First, ambition ; second, profit ; third, overburdened hate ; four...th, internal dis- order ; fifth, famine. THE GOVERNMENT OF A COUNTRY 81 Again, the natures of war are five : First, a righteous war; second, a war of might ; third, a war of revenge ; fourth, a war of tyranny ; fifth, an unrighteous war. The prevention of tyranny and the restora- tion of order is just; to strike in reliance on numbers is oppression; to raise the standard for reasons of anger is a war of revenge ; to quit propriety, and seize advan- tage is tyranny ; when the state is dis- ordered and the people worn out, to harbour designs, and set a multitude in motion, is a war of unrighteousness.
