Anyway democrocies are less inclined to have war with other democrocies, but never is a big word. Too big in this case. So, I can't really agree with your professor.

Like I said, one could call communism to be a form of democracy and look what happened at the cold war. Or just look at the Polish-Lithuanian war. Or the Paquisha war.

Winner! xD

 

And I suppose so but it seems like people just say such and such nation isn't a democracy to try and project this image that democracies never go to war with one another like Nationalism does to state that "Our country is better than every other country in the world.",etc.

To be fair, those really do some pretty crazy circumstances.  Democracies have gone to war with each other... but not two just regular straight up democracies... outside of Russia and Georgia.  With Russias democracy being a bit questionable.

Nations like Georgia and Israel are the only kind of nations i'd see getting into war with other democracies because of land disputes and rebels.
