Who's At Fault?

Who do you think was really responsible for the war, the Humans or the Machines? In the Animatrix series the Machines are shown as 'attacking' first, but when the Machines retreat to their own 'country' the humans are shown as the ones attacking. Ultimately who is at fault for the war in your opinion?

The humans have to be blamed here because they created the machines with so much intelligence yet wanted to treat them as slaves. They should have realized that eventually the machines would retaliate because it is an innate behavior for humans to retaliate in such situations.

What he said ^ The humans actually made the machines in the first place, then gave them human qualities and intelligence. You can't keep sentient creatures as slaves -- at least not for long.

I agree - the humans were at fault. I often wonder if the Architect now uses the time to try and understand why the humans respond the way they do? Could it be that he wants to know if humans are destined to repeat the same things or if they could work together?

What is also ironic here is how differently the machines treat the humans that they have plugged into the Matrix. They grow them in fields and pluck them diligently, then plug them into the Matrix, in holders that are well preserved. They even recycle the dead ones to feed the living. I dont think the same could have been said about how the humans treated the machines before they turned on them. Just watch some of the Animatrix films and you will see what I am talking about.

Who's At Fault?

In the Animatrix, machines that have artificial intelligence are treated as slaves. They are treated brutely and mean. When they tried to just live apart, they where still mistreated because they started making things better than humans. When they appealed to become a real nation to the united nations, they where turned down. In the end, they had to fight back, but I think they knew who was stronger the whole time. The humans had every chance to do the right thing and still failed to do it right.

Who's Fault

Even when the machines had their own city Zero-One, they tried their best to co-exist with the humans, and share their knowledge and goods with the humans, and still the stupid humans would not accept them. They instead chose to destroy the ambassadors that were sent to the U.N. What is ultimately interesting about this entire concept is that the machines are now dependent on humans for survival. Why do the machines need to survive? What is their purpose for survival? Is it merely to prove that they can keep humans under subjection?

thats a good point but also the machines wanted way to much. its not the humans fault for making them to intelligent, its the machines that think they deserve what they want.
