The Turians started the war. They made the first strike.
No it's your fault for walking into a warzone in the first place when you knew damn well it was a warzone. We knew there were aliens out there. It was reckless and stupid what we did and in the end we were lucky to get away relatively unscathed.

No, we knew there was one alien species, which had kindly put a giant mass relay in our system for us. And that they had abandoned their Mars outpost.

Indeed and for all we knew these aliens were still out there only now they were 50,000 years more advanced. Not a good idea to go and find them.
Tough love, sweetie. When you go sauntering through Central Park in the middle of the night dressed in a short skirt and high-heels don't expect much sympathy from me when you get mugged and raped. Activating the Charon relay was stupid, and activating other relays was even more stupid. We had it coming. All things considered we are very fortunate to have found the turians and Council; in the end they were quite reasonable with us.

And we're assuming that the alien species that had ready access to our planet and could easily observe our development 50,000 years ago, who built a relay system in our system and left it on "open access"...

I find it funny how everyone who says the Turians were at fault assumes humans would have understood Turians in the first place since it is implied that the codex is an active translator (Since you can't understand the Batarians the first time you hear them in Bring Down The Sky, then the codex updates and they are speaking english). If the Turians did try to greet them, humans probably would have attacked the scary growling lizard aliens (since we're good like that). I say the Turians were in the right in the end, since someone needed to show the Humans we weren't the biggest kids on the playground.
Even if there weren't, they would have bullied the shifty looking cows. Plus they might have listened to Stephen Hawking and wanted to do a preemptive strike.Spartas Husky wrote...

I can tell you, on December 12th as the world is about to supposedly end, nothing happens but all the world leaders decide "eh, **** it," and they all fire their nuclear weapons at everyone they don't like and the Earth becomes a radioactive wasteland, the only survivors are those who took shelter in underground vaults. And some Aliens who came through the mass relay see the nukes flying everywhere and are like "those are some crazy ****ers"
Because war.... war never changes

Again, with the scary growling would have lead to shots being fired anyway. Who knows, things might have turned out a lot differently for the natives the americas if they showed the Europeans not to **** with them.adam_grif wrote...

Because the first thing you do when you meet unknown entites is shoot them right? The Turians evidently knew about the humans before the reverse, and decided to attack instead of trying to communicate, establish diplomatic relations, and introduce themselves. This is unforgivable, because the humans had shown no signs of hostility at all, and the only thing they'd done "wrong" was violate rules they didn't know existed.I say the Turians were in the right in the end, since someone needed to show the Humans we weren't the biggest kids on the playground.
Yeah, because the most appropriate response to a foreigner stumbling into your territory without any knowledge of your laws is to savagely beat them.
Nothing about the Turian response is "right".
