Be careful with which behaviours you're reinforcing when your dog is aggressive. Find out why it's behaving that way and change its behaviour by changing yours.
For instance, *never* pet a dog or give it any kind of recognition after it's been aggressive to someone. Patting dog to try and calm it can be seen as positive feedback for the dog. You might be training your dog to act aggressivey without even knowing it.
Is there a pattern to the people that the dog is aggressive to? Do they walk funny, are boisterous, wave their hands a lot when they speak? Try to figure out what could be setting the dog off. Are they people who are afraid of dogs? Dogs can pick up on molecules that people release when they're stressed, such as when feeling fear, and some dogs might react differently to those scents.
Reward your dog when it displays non aggressive behaviour.
In what situations does the dog display aggressive behaviour? Is there anything happening that could make it feel cornered in some way? Is it tied up? Does it have a choke chain on? Are there other dogs nearby? Ideally try to lessen such stresses without putting other people in danger of course.
Is the dog healthy? Are you sure it doesn't feel some chronic pain which might make it feel more defensive of itself?
Was the dog socialised with other people and animals as a puppy? If not then once you gain some control over the situation it might be a good idea. Make sure that
you do so outside the dog's territory, where it's least likely to be aggresive.

He used the dog as an aggressive war dog and consequently caused the breed to become over-ally more aggressive.

How do you make your dog aggressive towards other people?
Why on earth would you want to do that? You should NEVER EVER make a dog aggressive towards other people. Dogs usually act aggressive because they are afraid, and is a way of defending itself. Why would you like to have a dog who is terrified of people? Besides the fact that a scared dog will not protect you; if worked up enough they will often turn their aggression on the owner eventually. A dog with strong character or good confidence has no reason to be aggressive towards people as people are no threat to the dog whatsoever. Some dogs will naturally defend their owners from a perceived threat, but to assume a dog will do this is unfair. As the dog's carer and owner, it is the owner's job to protect the dog, not the other way around. The last line "As the dog's carer and owner, it is the owner's job to protect the dog, not the other way around" is totally true not only on responsibility but also because anybody handling the dog should be higher in rank. The only way of having a good relation with a dog is to take the leadership.

What causes a dog to be aggressive to only certain dogs and what do you do?
Well. if your dog is aggressive to some dogs and not to others there are many reasons. First, the dog(s) your dog is aggressive to may be territorial aggressive, meaning that if you live near them then your neighbor's dog may think that the whole street is his territory and your dog is intruding, causing fights and barking. Also it could be something wrong with your dog. There are diseases that can make a dog too territorial aggressive and it can become a big problem. You should talk to your vet if your dog is too aggressive. And one last reason is your dog can have rabies. If your dog doesn't ahve his/her rabies shots then go to your local vet and have your dog vaccinated. I hope I helped with your problem! :D
