On the other hand, if humanity hadn't been so bust trying to kill eachother, there would have been no need for the massive military build up that was taking place just prior to the outbreak of the human-Covenant war.
One of the short stories in Halo Evolutions stated that it was fighting each other that allowed us to develop the tactics and skills required for space warfare. The outbreak of the war did for all intents and purposes unite humanity, only a few small groups continued to resist.
I'm with this guy, without the rebels popping up (how that would not happen, no clue seeing as they appeared for the same reason the US rebelled against Britain) humanity wouldn't have had the military build-up of ships and ground forces.
Also, the spartan program wouldn't have happened, if anything it'd have to had started after Harvest, taking away a major advantage the UNSC had ground-side.
