Down: 2) When one side has "secret" information (like a new weapon or higher morale) that the other side doesn't know about, leading to a miscalculation. 3) When countries rely on each other for beef, oil, or microchips (global supply chains), a war doesn't just hurt the enemy—it destroys your own economy. This makes war an "irrational" financial choice.7) that democratic institutions and shared values prevent war8) that global trade makes war too expensive to be rational10) A pair of states (e.g., the U.S. and UK are a "democratic dyad"). Across: 1) A situation where a resource (like a holy site) cannot be divided or shared—it's "all or nothing." 4) In a democracy, the leader cannot just declare war. They need support from a legislature and, more importantly, the voters. Since the people pay the "blood and treasure" costs of war, they act as a constraint on the leader.5) The idea that democracies are peaceful toward each other because they share a "norm" or culture of solving problems without violence. 6) Because war is always expensive (lives and money), there is always a potential deal that would leave both sides better off than if they fought. War only happens when states can't find or agree on this deal.9) When you can't trust that a country will keep its promise in the future (usually because they are getting stronger and might change their mind later).11) that war is a failure of logic caused by secrets, mistrust, or shared stakes. 12) A major challenge to Democratic Peace Theory which suggests that democracies didn't fight each other because they were democracies, but because they were all allied against the Soviet Union.
