If socialism is built, war may be not ended. Instead, in transitional
state(according to Marx's term) period, civil war(as recent Venezuela coup
or post-revolution Russia 1917-20) or war against remaining capitalist state
may occur. So your "possibility" is limited. Other various possibilities may
occur.
Your opinion is binary scheme, and it is incorrect. You may imagine that
socialism resolve all conflict, But this idea is not concrete and abstract.
We need to investigate concrete means of ending war, and it may necessarily
lead to socialism, Historically speaking, Nuclear threat by imperialists in
cool war period could repress large war. For example In Korea war and
Vietnam war US considered to use nuclear weapon.
