All wars are banker's wars...

 

The phrase "All wars are banker's wars" is a popular historical and geopolitical assertion most notably popularized by 

Michael Rivero

 in his 2016 documentary and article of the same name. The core thesis is that major global conflicts are fundamentally driven by private central banking interests seeking to maintain or expand control over national currencies and debt. 

Key Arguments of the Theory

Proponents of this view, such as Rivero, often cite specific historical examples to support the idea that wars are fought to enforce a central banking system: 

• The American Revolution: Claims that the war was largely triggered by the Currency Act of 1764, which prevented the colonies from issuing their own interest-free currency, forcing them into debt to the Bank of England.
• The War of 1812: Often attributed to the U.S. Congress refusing to renew the charter for the First Bank of the United States in 1811.
• The American Civil War: Suggestions that international bankers funded both sides to ensure the resulting debt would lead to a national central bank.
• Modern Conflicts: Arguments that recent wars in the Middle East were aimed at countries that did not have Rothschild-owned or Western-aligned central banks, such as Libya, Iraq, and Iran. 

Critiques and Perspectives

While the theory is popular in certain economic and alternative media circles, it is widely debated by mainstream historians and economists: 

• Alternative Causes: Critics argue that wars are far more complex and are driven by ideology, religion, territorial disputes, and "toxic masculinity" rather than just financial profit.
• Stability vs. Chaos: Many economists point out that banks generally thrive more during peacetime stability, as war-induced inflation and market volatility can be detrimental to long-term banking interests.
• Historical Accuracy: Historians often view the "banker" narrative as an oversimplification that ignores the multifaceted political and social drivers of specific conflicts.
