vsuresh Here can to be accepted in place of into? No, unless you are speaking of some deity named Chaos. But in classic mythology, Chaos was not a deity at all.

This is my understanding of what might be the effect:
Then, will it sound as if war is the only time when natural state of things is thrown into chaos?
