THE diversionary theory of war claims that unpopular leaders would use military force against a would-be foe to both divert the public's attention away from domestic problems and boost their political standing by rallying around the flag. The theory also argues that autocratic leaders create artificial tensions internally as a way to suppress dissent or opposition to their rule. It is a high-stake political gambit when leaders employ diversionary tactics to stay in power.
