    wars can be […] shorter

    I’m not so sure about that - appears like a theoretical argument to me. Today’s real wars are going much too long to let this look plausible.

    You’d have to read historical facts if you really want to compare wars. I would simply think about some people fighting with bare hands, and they get exhausted after only a few minutes (and may decide to make peace then), while some people fighting with guns can do that easily for years.
