Yes, President Roosevelt’s declaration of war was justified according to Just War Theory because the U.S. was at peace with the the Empire of Japan, planning to maintain peace in the Pacific. The Empire of Japan’s government, clandestinely, had been planning to deceive America by making false allegations of agreeing with the U.S. in the pursuit of keeping peace in the Pacific. The United States reasoning of going to war was justified because Japan showed a great level of hostility to our nation. It was are last resort to go to war because Japan's terrorised the U.S. after we had made peace with them.

Even though you might have heard stories about the origins of this present state of affairs, that we live in, you will not be aware of the various incidents that led up this day. Most of us, especially the younger ones, tend to take our present situation for granted. However, if you knew about the amount of blood that was spilled for this day one might approach life in a much fresher and novel way. The times before the Declaration and the French and Indian Wars were not a pleasant place to be. During these times, we were not free men and had to follow decisions which were made for us, rather than by us. Still then, most colonists thought of themselves as proud subjects of the strong British Empire that changed with the passing of the Coercive Acts in 1774. However, to talk about the political decisions that created such an impact would seem too foreign and incomprehensible to you. Instead, I want you to know the story of these years through a more personal perspective, mine. Through events, we know our present and future has been developed by our past, as those before us paved the way in improving this great nation by fighting for economic policies, political ideas and social advancements.

In everyday society cruelty is faced, weather yet another person is arrested for the killing of and innocent animal, or even the seemingly never ending brutality of the police forces going viral on YouTube yet again. Of course we have the do not touch subjects, such as war. The constant debate over is killing innocent people okay, just because it’s war. Jack London really brings this point alive in his short story “War”. In this thought-provoking piece of literature the odd uses of characterization, symbolism, morals, and irony lead a reader to an overall statement of theme that simply war is cruel.
The War of 1812 was battled between the Assembled States and Britain. Finishing in 1815 with the Settlement of Ghent, the war did not achieve any of the issues it was being battled about. For the US, the War of 1812 appeared to simply be one disappointment after another. Despite the fact that the military endured awesome disappointment amid the war, these were the immediate result of the disappointment of the nationals to join for the reasons for the war.
