Why would Tobirama create Edo Tensei in the first place?

I don't get all the things i heard about Tobiama where good things like how he sacrificed his life to save his comrades or how he had the Will of Fire and risk everything for his Village and it's people, but why would such a man create such an evil Jutsu that would disrespect the dead? don't start flaming me when i say this, but Tobirama is such an evil bastard in the inside there is more than meets the eye about this guy... truly

Probally for the first or second ninja world war. Leaf must have been pushed into a wall badly. But probally realized its a bad idea and stopped.

I somewhat agree. He is kind of a douche, but then again, he's the Hokage. He can do pretty much whatever he wants.

He's not evil or a bastard. He never mastered the jutsu for a reason, after the wars ended, he marked it as a forbidden jutsu, and left it alone.

I think you mean Tobirama. And he realized the dangers and that it was extremely unethical, which is why he deemed it kinjutsu and had the scroll with the information on it hidden away.

His name is Tobirama dude. And that's like asking why did Oppenheimer develop the atomic bomb, the answer is far simpler than you would think, he wanted to. But after seeing what the cost of it's use was he forbade it.

He's not evil at all. If someone walked up to you and offered you a chance to work on a way to bring back the dead, you would jump on it. He then probably realized it would take a human sacrifice and never even used it. That's why orochimaru was the one who perfected it.

Orochimaru once said that Jitsu are like colors, there are and infinite amount of shades to go with colors, just as there are an infinite amount of handseals to go with jitsu.

It could have been upon accident that he discovered it forming hand seals, which is a weak theory considering that you need the DNA of the deceased in order to work the technique (which is a very deliberate thing), but the only word we've seen used so far in association with the 2nd hokage and Edo Tensei was that it was "invented" so we pretty much have to assume it was made for a purpose (war). But it was made kinjitsu, so perhaps it was to be a last resort in case Tobirama couldn't hold his own without the 1st hokage.

Again I don't know anything, nor does anybody else, only speculating :p

maybe tobirama's version of edo tensei summoned the soul to a dead body but just for some hours or minutes so that the family of the fallen shinobi could say goodbye or so :D
but i think the living sacrifies is needed that the soul is bound to this body for eternity
