We cant say that they would have done the same thing because they are not in that position so we cant just assume that they would react the same way. I mean look at the current Eorzea, they needed a primal and Ilbert to finally go against Garlemald on their own continent. Also like Cilia said we still have lots of sovereign states in Eorzea and in the last few years only Ala Mhigo tried to take over Gridania. (And some even longer time ago we had the Uldah situation) Yet every conflict of the last decades always stayed in Eorzea and did not include the whole world.

And seeing how the Alliance reacted to the tower shooting and to the experiments I am quite sure that morality is a big point. It is not to our standard today but even in our time we have countries that are not at the western standard.

Also war is never necessary and war is alway bad..there is no war that is right..and we see it today that a lot of western countries are trying to solve conflicts in other ways..because all that war does is killing people and breeding more hate..So yes war itself is black..
