I don't think that misunderstanding whether the other side would fight
is what is meant by the "anti-war" people who use the slogan "war is
caused by misunderstanding".  (BTW - Is there anyone who is "pro-war"
or is it just a popular strawman for all sides?)

WWII is a good example.  What did we misunderstand about Hitler that
would have stopped that war, short of intervening far earlier?
