I believe nations should return to the ancient practice of raising a white flag which symbolizes the intention for peace, not war. It may seem simple, but this visible gesture created room for dialogue and resolution.

It is a show of strength. Not every show of strength has to be military. Choosing to talk is a brave move.

One powerful alternative to stopping wars is investing more in diplomacy, and economic cooperation between nations instead of just defense. Constantly building up military power even for protection can and will most times actually make things worse. This is known as the 'security dilemma': when one nation arms up to feel safe, others feel threatened and do the same, which only increases the risk of war. So real peace might come not from preparing for war, but from building trust.
