    be the only way for the world to have peace. I believe that World War II is an example of a just war. I believe this because of the need to stop Hitler and fascism and for the United State to protect itself from further attacks like Pearl Harbour. The evils of Hitler‚ such as killing Jews in Germany and throughout Europe‚ attacking neighbouring counties of Germany with his military actions‚ and setting up a dictatorship in Germany that threatened world peace‚ forced the United States to make the
