C’mon. This is weaksauce, you should concede those were terrible examples. I never said anything was monocausal but as a candidate for causes of war ‘war was declared’ wouldn’t be in the running.
There are even declarations that do bring civilizations closer to war, like certain religious proclamations in history and other mass movements. There are plenty of entities from discourse-space you could defend as having causal power.
