Introduction Scholars have critically evaluated war since days in memorial; they have researched the 1 st and 2 nd World Wars, the cold war, the gulf war and other wars like the Israeli Palestine war. They ended up with different theories that are used to explain the exact causes of these wars, some of the most notable theories that the scholars came up with included the war theory, the game theory and the security dilemma. These theories will play a vital role in covering the paper thus coming up with a proper proposal that is likely going to oversee the end of the Israel Palestine conflict. The hypothesis This paper will highlight the security dilemma; the theory indicates that a nation’s security is in a position of strengthening or weakening as a result of its actions and interaction with other nations surrounding it. Thus both theories exhibit the independent and dependent variables (Glaser, pgs 171-201). The independent variable in security dilemma indicates that a nation is stronger than its neighbors thus it is in a position of protecting itself from the other neighboring nations that might pose any threat to it, while the dependent variable indicates that a given nation is weaker than its neighbors and the latter will take a great advantage and invade the country in order to show that they are more superior. Therefore, both the independent and dependent theories are viewed as factors that affect the existence of peace internationally (Jervis186-214). The Middle East crisis that is also known as the Israel-Palestine war is a great example, the Middle East (Israel-Palestine war) crisis will form the basis of the paper as strategic analysis of the crisis are going to be conducted. The Independent and Dependent Variables in Security Dilemma As suggested by Xin 5, independent variable in the security dilemma is seen as the constant and more predominant factor that causes a war, in security dilemma the most notable factor that causes a war is the superior nature of a nation over its neighbors, which includes a wide range of military equipments, well trained military personnel and a sound economy. Therefore, a nation that is financially stable and also has the best experienced military personnel will be in a position of being proactive to its neighboring nations (Glaser 201). Dependent variables in security dilemma are seen to be factors that push a nation that is relatively weaker to the extent of being aggressive or hostile towards its neighbors as a way of safeguarding its sovereignty (Xin 7). The factors that contribute to the variable include the military, financial, technical support by allies of the nation, territorial disputes, self defense or even reaction to an invasion from another nation amongst other aspects that will disrupt the peace between the nations (Huth 45). War as a result of Security Dilemma is said to be constituted by these different variables, thus, resulting in the existence of war between the nations, in this case war between nations occurs as a result of a dependent variable that triggers the independent variable that eventually results in the war between these nations (Jervis 214). Example of a war in the Middle East crisis (Israel-Palestine
