Historically, wars have been major events that other events can
be neasured relative to, so I suppose in that sense war creates
time.  But really, while war may effect change in ownership
of some things, I don't think it affects time very much, let alone
effects it.

(Well, there's the emergency time-dilation effect, but I don't think
it affects non-biological clocks.)
