POST JUST WAR ESSAY HERE I'll begin with the least just war, Haiti. The situation in Haiti was most definitely the worst as to the other situations, we did not have a pure salutation, and the military was bad and there was no distinction from our Jus Ad Bellum and Jus In Bello, they had no recognition whatsoever. We entered Haiti under the impression to a financial benefit from the situation, the guideline paper says things like material is obviously not just because its selfish and not under the right impression. We went to Haiti for a very other stupid reasons also like to control the publics facilities, and the military was there for at least 19 years and over-occupied the country. The public control is a random reason to go to war with another country

The Spanish American War was in assortment whatsoever of the just wars of the topics I picked, this war was completely impotent and a waste of time to do. I don't there was not a legitimate reason for the United States to appear yet could also be unjust a tad because we kept a small amount of peace. We did not really have a real intention of being just or unjust we were really there to help the country's funding from the public of the United States people. When we came back I'd file this war this towards a jus in bello, this small war does not really have that big of a gap of either just or unjust but is not exactly 50/50. We did help civilians and kept a small amount of peace and helped them avoid awkward situations.

When the United States was in Japan 1945-1952, it was definitely the most absolute just war out of all the small wars because of the United States leaning towards a Jus Ad Bellum and the Jus In Bello. We were really just looking to reconstruct Japans damaged country, I do not really see how this was even leaning towards the word war. The united states had a good heart, and we were trying to fix their nation that was "dying of thirst" from the amount of war that had been throughout. The United States seemed almost like they //__had__// to help japan out and the military soldiers were close with the Japanese.

Of the three wars I would say that the war with the Japanese wasn't just, Haiti was profoundly just and that the Spanish American war was really just neutral; the haiti war is not because its just literally acrimonious in behavior. Yet our behavior was very just because we did it for the benefit of the people and not for self gain. Haiti's situation had absolutely no moral right or dignity towards the situation, and the Spanish America did not have much of either, but American- And other countries sometimes need to analyze the situation before invasion or immoral attack.
