The First War Was Over Water #ShortsAdded:
The first war we can name was over water. Lagash and Umma were two Sumerian city-states arguing over a fertile border zone. The fight was about fields, canals, and who controlled the water that made grain grow. That does not make it the first war ever fought. It makes it one of the first we can follow by name. The old record is brutal, specific, and strangely modern.
