Don't know of many wars in recent history that have solved a problem once and for all.

Someone here needs a little schoolin', I see!

Cute. Tell me. What war ended slavery?

I understand a proposed amendment to the Constitution, which amendment, however, I have not seen, has passed Congress, to the effect that the federal government shall never interfere with the domestic institutions of the States, including that of persons held to service. To avoid misconstruction of what I have said, I depart from my purpose not to speak of particular amendments, so far as to say that holding such a provision to now be implied constitutional law, I have no objection to its being made express and irrevocable.--lincoln, First Inaugural Address

The intent of the War was not over slavery. Consider also slavery existed after the War not only abroad (and still does) but in these United States as well. Also, I would ask how all the rest of the Western world was able to end slavery without war.

Communism. Don't remember the war that ended communism for some reason. Perhaps you could point that one out to me as well. What I do remember is a failed system that was no longer economically viable to the Soviet Union in the mid 1980s

Also I would point out the rise to power of fascism, nazism, and communism were all in direct correlation to the vacuums created after WWI.

So one could easily say war created (along with Wilsonian intervention) the rise of fascism, nazism, and communism and didn't end slavery. But maybe you could post some more cute jpegs instead of making an argument eh?
