Subject: How did the Halo War start in the first place?

Im not here to show how cool I am or what I do but to be friend to anyone on my team or the enemy team. I love a nice and fun game with relatively nice xbox live players. If you need help, I will help you. As long as you help me and treat me with respect. Besides, its just a video game.

What the title says.

Didact's Reprisal -
Now is the time of our unworlding
One final effort is all that remains
And I am not afraid
We shall fulfill our promise
We fight for the grace of the Mantle
And this time none of you will be left behind

Reading Contact Harvest (or looking at the proverbial cliff notes) should help greatly.

To sum it up, the three Hierarchs during the Halo games (Truth, Mercy, and Regret) discovered through Mendicant Bias that humans have a connection to Forerunners. This fact is near heresy to their religion, and in order to preserve such a scandal from coming to light, they covered up the truth (by Truth's order) and declared that humans defiled Forerunner artifacts and must be destroyed.

As it is said above. If you read the Halo novels, you'll be simply amazed.

Punch The Keyes For God Sake!

Halo War(s) begins with the arrival of the Spirit Of Fire at Harvest in Feb of 2531.

The Human-Covenant War began in 2525, due to a misinterpretation by the Prophets.

basically 3 heads of the covenant and its religion discovered that humanity was heir to the foreunners, they feared that the races under the covenant would discover this and serve humanity, so the prophets began to eliminate humans, however the covenant thought that humanity only existed on one planet and failed to realize that humanity had colonized much of orions arm.

The HUMAN-COVENANT WAR (not the Halo War) started because Truth, Regret, and Mercy learned that Humans were "Reclaimers", as in some of the Forerunners were left behind and in their religion EVERYONE who believed in the Great Journey would "tread the path". If the rest of the Covenant found out about that, it would just fall apart. So the only solution they could come up with was to exterminate the human race. The thing is that they thought Harvest was our only planet, and when they found more, they had to keep killing Humans.
