Ways to Prevent it from Occurring Again

.Discuss and reach peace
.Do not let any country take over
.Have safe havens for each major town and each
religion
.Have mediators to discuss the issues between both
sides
.No killing people just because theyre in the wrong
place for their religion
.Have heavier military and enforcers of the rules
.Let the decisions and courses of action progress slowly
