Does that sound about right? Germany's massive economic depression was, as much as anything else, a cause of World War 2.

I don't get it. Can you restate your point?

"often". Not "always". "often". See the difference.
The Revolutionary War started as a protest. Look at what was happening in the moments leading up to The Shot Heard Round The World. We won. The South didn't.
Given your definition, my contextual argument still stands valid. There's a logical hole in it, though, and I'll give you the joy of finding it.
