Firstly, that the waging of war is off the back of every possible alternate method of peaceful resolution being exhausted. If mediation or negotiation are ignored and battle is the chief intention from the outset a war is not considered just and should not be engaged in. Secondly, a ‘just’ war must have the backing of an authority that is able and permitted to sanction the call of warfare. A private person or a group with no legal entitlement would not be able to wage a just war as they do not have the right or the capacity to do so. Thirdly, a just war is one that is waged because the party waging it have suffered a wrong and are seeking to rectify the situation.
The U.S. struggled with each issue and did what they thought was right, even if damage was caused. I believe we should have involved ourselves with the war, and that it was right. Jews were being exterminated just because of their religious views. Hitler was going "berserk" during that time period and we should have taken action earlier. Italy had a roaring fascist society which could hurt democracy in the world.
The pact was the final cause of war as Hitler could now invade Poland without any interference from Stalin. Britain and France had declared war on Germany as they guaranteed Poland’s independence. However, the policy of appeasement in the 1930’s also played a big role in causing the Second World War. Appeasement had led Hitler to believe that Britain and France were weak. Britain and France gave Germany the Rhineland, the Sudetenland and they were allowed to have an Anschluss with Austria.
On the off chance that a country has noble motivation to proclaim a war, yet its genuine explanation behind doing as such is essential to advance its own particular advantages or to deliver enduring upon an abhorred adversary, at that point the war isn't simply. Customarily, it has been held that the correct aim must be a want for peace. Probability of Success The fourth condition for a simply war is that there must be some probability of achievement. There is no equity, it is held, in an administration opposing a better power just for its kin than be completely smashed. For a war to be only, its odds accomplishing its points must be huge.
My opinion on this argument is that there should be no civillians killed by bombs unless it was accidental. When there is total war, no rules, no mercy. They did not care, all they cared about was ending the war and coming up with a victory. If strategic bombing was used in modern times, nobody would allow it and start a whole new war. War now does not allow any civillian casualites.
They are a signal or warning to any other group that may consider hostile action. During the Cold War, the term ‘mutually assured destruction’ referred to the fact that both the US and the USSR had enough weaponry to destroy each other if they ever went to war. The theory was that if both nations knew this, both would avoid conflict at all costs. The haka is a traditional Maori display of aggression seen on the rugby field prior to a game. It serves the same purpose of trying to convince your opponent not to bother competing too hard because you are stronger than them.
There are reasons to support both sides of the issue. War is seen by most as a measure that should only be used if there is no other alternative. Some would argue that war should be an offensive strategy because if we perceive a country as a threat, we should be able fight them. And the others point out that war should never be used. Only diplomatic resolutions should be used in a modern society.
If the sole reason for war was to capture Sadaam and his officials, this would then be unjust. At the time of the war, the war met another requirement of the doctrine; it had legitimate authority, George W. Bush. As long as a legit source declares the war, approval from the UN is unnecessary. Therefore there was an official declaration of war, showing
Did Germany cause the war? Who and what started World War 1? The verdict that I agree with of who started World War 1 is: “All of the major powers helped to start the war. They should share the blame.” I think this because one nation can not simply declare war at a country without knowing the consequences. If several countries declare war on each other then this is possible.
The Treaty of Versailles Was an Unfair Settlement I believe that the Treaty of Versailles was an unfair settlement. The Treaty of Versailles was not a treaty, but instead a surrender document that the defeated Germans had to sign or face the risk of invasion. I believe the Treaty of Versailles was a series of penalties and punishments imposed on Germany. Rather than seeking ways to prevent future wars, the victorious allies decided instead to weaken the Germans by hurting their national pride. Both the Allies and Germany wanted to expand their territory.
