The Balkans, since you mention them, is a good example of how conflicts can simmer for generations if not actually resolved. Come to that, arguably WW2 might never have happened were it not for the manner in which "peace" was made after WW1.

Oh great you just announced to everyone that you finally found out what causes war to take place . I'm sorry , but the situation here is a little more complicated than taking examples from ww1 peace agreement .
Many believes , including me , that if the allies in ww1 would finish ww1 the same way they finished ww2 , which means cutting the head of the snake and not leaving it wounded so he can recover and declare war again , in this case ww2 would never take place .
I would also like to be pacifist , to believe that if you get slapped by someone , give him your second chick and he'll become your best friend . History taught us that sometime you have to fight back in order to have you enemy realise that he'll better have peace with you rather then keeping fighting and losing . I'm sure that this what caused Miloshevits to surrender and stop his genocide against the albanians in kosovo , and without the massive nato bombards , he would probablly murder some 1000's more .
