  • What do you mean "Before societies, people...."? Only the question title saves you.

Bellicose also comes to mind. (M-W)

favoring or inclined to start quarrels or wars

"A Bellicose Society"
"One Million Mercenaries" by John McCormack (Google Books)

"If the Chachapoya were a bellicose society..."
The Routledge Handbook of the Bioarchaeology of Human Conflict by Christopher Knüsel (Google Books)

"...as defended refuges in a bellicose society..."
Tribe and Polity in Late Prehistoric Europe: Demography, Production, and ... edited by D. Blair Gibson (Google Books)

Pardon my style in citing references. I have zero experience as an academic researcher, and how I did it college is just a fond memory now.

Belligerent may suggest the idea:

  • Inclined or eager to fight; hostile or aggressive. (AHD)

Militaristic is probably the word you are looking for.

Check the broader concept: Militarism
