Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If a state provoked a crisis, it is likely that they have goals that they want to achieve. Going to war could be risky and may not necessarily lead to a complete capitulation of the other state. Negotiations and mediation may not necessarily result in achieving the state's goals. Therefore, the state would most prefer that the other state capitulate completely, as that would be the most certain way to achieve their goals.
