US civil war

Slavery

The us civil war was a battle between north and south. The north became more industrial while the
south had a big farming economy that relied on slavery. At the end of the 18th century there was
more protest against slavery. Abolitionists in the north saw slavery as evil and were therefore against
the south.

Expansion

The US kept expanding west and the south got scared of losing power

Final straw

The election of Lincoln was the final straw. He was against slavery, and the south saw him as an
enemy. This was the final straw and started the first fights.

The south formed a new independent state, the confederate states. Abraham Lincoln was against
slavery, but the confederate states still heavily relied on slavery. Then the confederate states tried to
claim a fort from the United States. This led to the US having to declare war against the confederate
states, in order to reclaim their own territory The civil war ended and a process of rebuilding a nation
free of slavery started. End result is positive.

When war has done something about terrorism

Terrorism is, in the broadest sense, the use of intentional violence, generally against civilians, for
political purposes

It is often used with the connotation of something that is "morally wrong"

When terrorism is perpetrated by nation-states it is not considered terrorism by the state

conducting it, making legality a largely grey-area issue.[12] There is no consensus as to whether or
not terrorism should be regarded as a war crime

Defending your own people is also war, and justified

You go into war with a country to defend

War creates power balances

Ends justifies the meanings

Learn lessons during wars

Over the long run war has made humanity safer and richer.  By most estimates, 10 to 20 percent of
all the people who lived in Stone Age societies died at the hands of other humans. t the century’s
100–200 million war-related deaths added up to just 1 to 2 percent of our planet’s population. If you
were lucky enough to be born in the industrialized twentieth century, you were on average 10 times
less likely to die violently (or from violence’s consequences) than if you were born in a Stone Age
society.

invasions: when someone is invading your country or a neighbour country which will lead to a threat
or a country is being invaded which you have a allignement with like NATO. terrorism: when
terrorism is occuring in your country like the central asian's taliban and the terrorist groups isis and al
qaeda national honour: when a prominent person like a minister or someone from the royal palace is
murdered by a group

Justifying war
Justification: the action of showing something to be right or reasonable.

Economic impact:

 The economies of both combatants are effected by war. Since all the trade and
exchanges are focused on war and war supplies, the country’s commercial sales will
severely be disrupted.
For example, GB was the number one largest overseas investor before WW1. And it
was the biggest debtor after WW1.

(Mental) health:

 Not only the soldiers, but also the citizens will be greatly affected by war. Citizens live
in constant fear that something will happen to them and to their loved ones
participating in the war.
 War destroys families and disrupts the social and economic development of
countries.
 Women are more vulnerable to the psychological consequences of war. It is now
known that maternal depression before and after the birth of the child predicts
poorer growth of infants. Kids have even a higher rate of trauma-related
psychological problems.
 The greater the exposure to trauma- physical and psychological- the more
pronounced are the symptoms.

justifying war.
Just Cause: force may be used only to correct a grave, public evil, i.e., aggression or
massive violation of the basic rights of whole populations.
A war is only just if its fought for a reason that is justified, and with a good reason.
Sometimes a war is fought to prevent a wrong from happening. War to defend the
innocent are considered just.
Self-defence

 Invasion.
the most obvious reason is to protect your country against an aggressor. This also
includes recapturing something that the enemy has taken away.
 Assisting an invaded friendly nation
 Human right violations
When basic human rights are violated so severely that force is the only sensible
response

 Even if you don’t start a war and just defend your country, you’re still participating in
the war.
 People always die in war, it is inevitable. But, because this happened, for example
after ww1: after ww1 they decided to never do this again.

There is no doubt that stopping the Hitler regime from slaughtering more people — which
was the effect of destroying Germany in World War II — was a justified move, especially
when you consider the peaceful, free country Germany has become since then.
