George Orwell , in his book Nineteen Eighty-Four , had written that perpetual war was fought between either Oceania , Eurasia and Eastasia or any combination of the three . War , not peace , is the goal of each nation's oligarchy . War is a form of control by the ruling elite uniting the citizenry against a common enemy .
"It does not matter whether the war is actually happening, and, since no decisive victory is possible, it does not matter whether the war is going badly. All that is needed is that a state of war should exist."
Emmanuel Goldstein

Why does Orwell represent the society of 1984 as being in a state of perpetual war yet with no decisive victory?
Orwell depicts a society in perpetual war to highlight the government's control over its citizens through fear and manipulation. The state of never-ending conflict serves to maintain a sense of urgency and distract the public from questioning the Party's oppressive rule. By showing that the war has no decisive victory, Orwell emphasizes the Party's desire to maintain power and control over its citizens rather than achieve a clear military triumph.
How is perpetual war no different than perpetual peace in 1984?
For all the Inner Party is concerned, perpetual war is no different than perpetual peace. War, by being everlasting, is really not making any changes to Oceania's current society. When its existence offers no changes and zero impact, it is as if it doesn't even exist. As Goldstein's book puts it: "by becoming continuous, war has ceased to exist." (Orwell, pg. 207)In the age of Big Brother, "the war is waged by each ruling group against its own subjects, and the object of the war is not to make or prevent conquests of territory, but to keep the structure of society intact." (Orwell, pg. 207) When the main goal of the Inner Party is to establish an equilibrium of its hierarchical society, all it's after is consistency. Constant war and constant peace, they are essentially the same thing. Hence, the doublethink phrase: War is Peace.
