War is the worst tool in the history of humankind. The wars that Iraq witnessed contributed to the destruction of minds. Mind-building is the most significant thing for reconstructing all aspects of society. Education is the key to uniting nations and bringing human beings closer together. Therefore, the wars in Iraq contributed to making minds more inclined toward wars than peace. The Iran-Iraq war, the war on Kuwait, the economic blockade on Iraq, the American occupation of Iraq, sectarian wars, and the emergence and defeat of ISIS, all of the above contributed to creating a generation that considers war an important means of human interaction. Also, generations gained experience from reality more than they gained it from educational institutions whose role is embodied in making peace more than making wars.

The aim of the paper is to provide a full account about dialectic relations among three pillares: wars, education, and behavioural. It studies the causes that led to the destruction of education in Iraq, the extent of the impact of wars on generations, the role of wars in planting seeds of conflict instead of seeds of peace in the thinking of individuals, the obstacles that limit peace-building through education, and the repercussions to put clear visions for achieving peaceful, creative societies, coexistence and create positive perceptions, values attitudes of individuals.

The research problem crystallizes in the following questions: What are the wars that Iraq witnessed? How did each war affect education in Iraq? What are the repercussions of wars on peace-building in Iraq? What are the reasons for the difficulty of educational institutions in peacebuilding in Iraq? What are the future repercussions on the generations of Iraq?
