causing war

How long does it usually take for you to incite a war, and once you did, how did the war turn out?

I'm curious to this as well because upon reclaiming an old fortress of mine the 30+ goblins making it their home as well as the elves that were previously at war with my civilization are now friendly. I've already slaughtered one caravan full of elves and the friendly goblins, so if I can incite something I'll try and post how long it took.

History will not change during a fort.

Also, Shinotsa, you should've let them live. They would fight for you.
Unlss thats not how Loyalty Cascade works... I suggest locking them away,
at least the goblins.

Jam a door with its corpse and let all the goblins in. Hey, nobody said it had to be a weapon against your enemies.

Eh, I'd love to do something with the little buggers but as of right now they're killing the game by just hanging around inside my fortress. If they want to camp on my doorstep then they're fine, but when they are standing IN my dwarves bedrooms they wind up as live training dummies.

Also I thought that it was possible to turn a group hostile during play by killing too many of them. If that's not possible I may as well abandon this fort since I have no enemies. The whole reason I reclaimed it was because I was at war with elves and goblins

I just try to pick a civ that is at war with elves when I embark.  Bonus points if they are also at war with goblins. ;)

On the topic of wars, is it possible for the dwarves to be at war with the humans? I've never seen it personally, So I wonder if it's something I should look for next embark.
