20th Century:  (1901 AD to 2000 AD) .

1904-1905 - The Russo-Japanese war. It has been suggested the real reason for this was that the autocratic Czar Nicholas II, had become unpopular and started this war simply to deflect criticism from himself. As this is argued as setting the stage for World War 1 and thus later World War 2 Nicholas II (known in the Russian Orthodox Church as Saint Nicholas the Passion-Bearer) has much to answer for! And totally proves the connection between Eastern Orthodoxy and war, and their claims on pacifism are entirely false!

1904-1908 - Herero and Nama genocide - committed by the Germans in Africa which may well have influenced Hitler later on, as it was also committed to make "Lebensraum" colonialist land grabbing by settlers, as in Mein Kampf.

1939–1945  -  World War 2,  The Russians, Greeks, and many other predominantly Eastern Orthodox countries fought in World War 2. I have yet to hear of a massive doctrinal pacifist objection being put forward by the Eastern Orthodox church or clergy. The EOC want to have their cake and eat it, they want to claim to be pacifists, then claim their priests are empowered to forgive you if you kill in wars and bless the troops. This kind of oxymoronic contradictions continually appear in Eastern Orthodox theology. If you ask most Orthodox they simply think the EOC believe in war just as the Catholics do.

RUSSIANS in WW2:

(This period of history simply being called WW2, as if German expansion was the only issue is a vast oversimplification, as Estonia, Latvia. Lithuania, Belarus, Poland and the Ukraine all wanted independence and as the Germans retreated (who wanted to take over)  and they fought Russia (who also wanted to take over)  to remain free the Orthodox may have fought the Orthodox (I am researching this now, don't quite understand yet how WW1  and The Russian Civil war and these wars of Independence crossover - very complicated to trace Orthodox troop involvement

 

WW2 was in fact Germany attacking, followed quickly by Russia attacking Eastern Europe. then Japan and Italy attacking. Russia consolidated a kind of Empire of its own becoming the bigger USSR, only given back at the end of the cold war, glasnost and perestroika. This is partly why Churchill wanted to fight the USSR, to get the freedom of captured countries back.)

1960's - World War 3 - a chemical and abortion war begins.

​An estimated 62 million abortions have occurred since Roe v. Wade decision in 1973.

The pill is approved for contraceptive use. In my opinion world war 3 has already started and is still going on today, a chemical war to murder babies. It is little realised that unlike the first contraceptive pills the modern pills are also abortion pills using progesterone. Abortions in clinics also massively increase. The Europeans were and are killing off millions upon millions of European babies, causing a massive increase in the Muslim / Arab population of the USA and Europe, and therefore a growing crisis of culture and values in the western world.

1979 to 1989 - Soviet war in Afghanistan. The USA see this as Soviet expansionism and back the mujahideen . (see 2001) . Some believe the USA training of the mujahideen later led to the knowledge to conceive the plan of 911. It has been suggested that Osama Bin Laden was outraged by the unholy presence of the USA troops later in the Gulf War (1990 1991) in what he regarded as the holiest country on Earth (the home of Mecca), and his reward to the USA for winning the war was 911. Others think Bin Laden was simply paranoid the USA was now going to keep invading Arab countries for oil.
