Hathaway and Shapiro compiled over 400 such documents into a database on which they conducted a content analysis—that is, a catalogue of reasons why nations said they had to fight. The most common rationalizations for war were self-defense (69 percent); enforcing treaty obligations (47 percent); compensation for tortious injuries (42 percent); violations of the laws of war or law of nations (35 percent); stopping those who would disrupt the balance of power (33 percent); and protection of trade interests (19 percent).
