Frangesh Mr. Marshall & Ms. Kile WHAP 4; English 2‚ 5 17 February 2014 Were Germany’s Actions in WWII Justified? “War does not determine who is right- only who is left” (Russell). Bertrand Russell‚ a renowned philosopher‚ was‚ and still is‚ absolutely correct. Many perish after earth-shattering wars‚ such as the tragedy to humanity known as World War II. If we can take a lesson from this calamity‚ it is the making‚ not the breaking‚ of connections that will enable moral and educational lessons truly

I think the colonial grievances were justified because the colonies were forced to change‚ England lacked power of the colonies‚ and British Law was unjust. The colonist way of life evolved around trade. England had told them to trade only with them and they would‚ in return give them recourses back. This did not do the colonies any good because they were not left with money and went into debt. The colonies decided that they would hold back some resources and would trade with the West Indies to

Why did we break away from Great Britain? We wanted our independents‚ so don’t you think by controlling the Philippines‚ Guam‚ and Puerto Rico we are acting like ”Great Britain”? Going into these country’s and trying to force your government ideas‚ putting your army in foreign land‚ and controlling there economics sound un-American to me. The government should consider what is at stake if we enter these foreign territories. If we try to imply our ways government ideas what would happen? That brings

Is war ever justified? Is war ever justified? I would say yes. Others would say no. I believe that there are some situations that resort to going to war and that there are some that do not. If Britain hadn’t declared war on Germany when they invaded Poland‚ what would have happened? Would Jews still be persecuted? Would Hitler have had his "perfect" race or blonde hair and blue eyes? Would most of Europe now not be speaking English or French‚ Spanish‚ Portuguese etc.‚ but be speaking German? Britain

Acts such as impressments‚ the attack on the USS Chesapeake‚ the violation of American neutral rights and waters‚ blockades on U.S. ports‚ and the ignoring of stipulations of Jay’s Treaty and their Treaty of Paris all imposed threats on America. To prevent further altercation‚ America tried to solve the

Great Britain did for its nation and for the end of World War II. Great Britain had to do what was best for the country and should be justified as a result from the bombing of the German cities in account of the nation’s pride‚ a misinterpreted perception of morals and also due to being forced into a tight situation. Although the casualties and negative impact that Germany faced‚ Britain’s actions in bombing the German cities should be justified due to the position they were in. Britain did not
