I have allways wondered why The Caldari sided with the Amarr over the Minmatar.
Somehow I could see more of the Caldari aiding the Minmatar as opposed to the Gallente, then both hating the dogma of the 2 more powerful factions, who have a non agression pact and a defence clause against the rebel Caldari and Minmatar.

Who would win in a faction war between the Caldari, Minmatar, Gallente and (dare I say) Amarr?
Much like the real world today, it would be Caldari (equivalent to the USA) hands down.
Nah, USA is the Gallente.
EU is CAldari.

Gosh Krux, the Minmatar would only win if the Caldari had a mercy streak. Look at it this way, if the Caldari want to stop the Gurilla attacks, they kill any and every Minmatar that shows it's face, and actively hunt those the Ammar don't enslave to extinction.

Krux, the Gallente and the Minnie don't have the gumption to commit mass genocide, the Caldari and Ammar do.
The Caldari are small in area, but still have the most ships in space compared to any other navy, hence they have the highest density. Any assault on Caldari space would be hideously outmatched.
Theres also the fact that the Caldari have Jita, which could be looted by the Caldari navy to fuel the war effort

Gosh - the RL wars you refer to the attackers were mostly concerned with proffit, at least the British were. In incursions into North America we didn't kill the natives because we made more money trading with them than killing them and running it ourselves - at least till the rebellion.
Similarly in Africa, the slaves were not killed because they were cheap labour, and making them beleive they were free when they were being taxed, having to work for the British as it was the only way to stay alive.
If the Caldari want to kill the Minnie, the Minnie would die.
The deciding factor would be the Jove.

No I'm NOT trying to get a real-world political conversation going, I'm merely using it as a current example of a juggernaut state thinking they could impose their will on a smaller state, only to find out that guerilla tactics and people with chips on their shoulder can stick a rather big stick in the cogs.
Thats the point, the Caldari have no interest in leaving anyone alive. If the US was aiming to bring the teritory of Iraq under control by any means - my money is on the major cities being nuked. Simply, the definition of a victory for the Caldari would be removal of the Minmatar and securing of the assets, if the Minmatar had to die to secure the assets, ohwell.
