With this in mind, I can rightfully assume that war would exceed past it's necessary time due to the fact that now less developed nations have a leg to stand on against the higher developed countries and that would also mean an increase in deaths. In other words, because nations are now equal under a set of rules, war would be extended which essentially leads to a higher number of casualties along the way.]]> 2019-04-16 06:35:33 UTC https://padlet.com/s1553535/codsr60ugehq/wish/351887989 s1553535 https://padlet.com/s1553535/codsr60ugehq/wish/351888210 When there are organizations, treaties, conventions etc. established, history has proven that at the end of the day these set of laws have not remained unbiased nor uncorrupted. This means that if there were laws under which every nation had to obey when engaging in war, the possibility of there being persistent and authentic equality is very low. To put it differently, the act of setting rules for war is highly susceptible to corruption as well as the tertiary countries having the upper hand.]]> 2019-04-16 06:36:53 UTC https://padlet.com/s1553535/codsr60ugehq/wish/351888210 s1553535 https://padlet.com/s1553535/codsr60ugehq/wish/351888231 When rules and restrictions are established upon countries, whether they be general or specific, there is a breaking point where these rules become a sense of oppression for these nations. Knowing this possibility, history has taught us enough for us to predict rebellions and further war outbreaks as a result of these oppressed and restricted countries. In other words, establishing a set of rules under which countries have to engage in war will only result in further rebellion and war, which is why it is better to let countries fight under their own reasons. ]]> 2019-04-16 06:36:58 UTC https://padlet.com/s1553535/codsr60ugehq/wish/351888231 s1553535 https://padlet.com/s1553535/codsr60ugehq/wish/351889676 During the last few months of World War II, after the many attempts and the many refusals to surrender by Japan, the United States made the brash decision to drop an atomic bomb on Hiroshima on August 15, 1945, and Nagasaki in the next couple of days. Soon thereafter, Japan finally surrendered and the people could finally cease to be terrorized. Because the United States went out of their way and dropped the bombs on Japan, we can assume the bombs were the ones that made Japan surrender. Now, if the U.S. had not dropped the bombs, Japan would have proceeded to neglect surrender thus leading to more military deaths. Also, with the Soviet Union's plan to enter the war between Japan and the U.S we know that there would have been tremendous amounts of deaths, but this was all prevented because the U.S was not under a set of rules.]]> 2019-04-16 06:47:38 UTC https://padlet.com/s1553535/codsr60ugehq/wish/351889676 s1553535 https://padlet.com/s1553535/codsr60ugehq/wish/351889715 After World War II, there were agreements and alliances made, one of the major ones was the United Nations. This organization recognized almost every single nation in the world, but only consisted of 15 countries. The permanent countries were China, France, Russia, UK, and Russia while the other ten were voted in for two year terms every couple of years. Also, the permanent countries were the only ones allowed to veto rights. With this in mind, we know that this major attempt to regulate nations in regard to war was under the rule of these five tertiary countries. This means that this attempt was futile in the way that it did not escape corruption when trying to set rules for nations around the world because it was essentially dominated by only five countries.]]> 2019-04-16 06:47:52 UTC https://padlet.com/s1553535/codsr60ugehq/wish/351889715 s1553535 https://padlet.com/s1553535/codsr60ugehq/wish/351889737 Amongst many of the peace keeping efforts and rules set when speaking of war, there was one called Reasons To Go To War. This document consisted of limited and precise number of reason as to why and under which circumstances a country had the green light to declare war. Soon enough, nations began adding clauses and exemptions justifying their own reason for why they want to declare war, the main clause being in the name of self defense. Whether corruption is done consciously or unconsciously, like in this example, there will always be a way for which duplicity will become present in said organization, document, or agreements. Connecting back to my main my reason, the Reason To Go To War demonstrated that there will be inevitable changes and corruption even if it is in a very subtle way.]]> 2019-04-16 06:47:59 UTC https://padlet.com/s1553535/codsr60ugehq/wish/351889737 s1553535 https://padlet.com/s1553535/codsr60ugehq/wish/351889762 One major example of an attempt of war regulations after World War I was the Treaty of Versailles. This treaty did not only exploit Germany but also drove them into a complete state of economic destruction to a point where it was near impossible for Germany to pick themselves back up. This treaty required for Germany to pay reparations, restricted them in regard to their military, and did not allow them to expand in any way, shape, or form. Shortly after this, Germany became fed up and broke out into a rebellion with the start of totalitarian leaders such as Hitler, who eventually led to the start of World War II. This being said, restricting nations with a set of laws that are supposed to keep peace, such as the Treaty of Versailles, will sooner or later lead to even more conflict and destruction than there was initially.]]> 2019-04-16 06:48:09 UTC https://padlet.com/s1553535/codsr60ugehq/wish/351889762 s1553535 https://padlet.com/s1553535/codsr60ugehq/wish/351889803 The Washington Naval Conference was a military conference that consisted of nine nations, with the exception of Soviet Russia, who were all interested in the Pacific Ocean and East Asia. One of the most important and primary reason this conference was called for was to restrict Japanese power and limit naval expansion over the West Pacific Ocean through rules and regulations. While the United States, Britain, and Japan's different approaches when coming into this conference, the U. S eventually gained an upper hand through interception and decryption of radio signals in order to further oppress Japan. Like in many other instances, the Japanese obtained all they wanted when initially going into the conferences unscathed because they essentially did not listen to the conferences. To put it differently, the Washington Naval Conference prime goal to oppress and restrict Japan failed because they used rule tactics that only led to Japan getting what they wanted, thus a country should abide by their own rules instead of general rules. ]]> 2019-04-16 06:48:18 UTC https://padlet.com/s1553535/codsr60ugehq/wish/351889803 s1553535 https://padlet.com/s1553535/codsr60ugehq/wish/351891900 2019-04-16 07:01:08 UTC https://padlet.com/s1553535/codsr60ugehq/wish/351891900 s1553535 https://padlet.com/s1553535/codsr60ugehq/wish/351891919 2019-04-16 07:01:18 UTC https://padlet.com/s1553535/codsr60ugehq/wish/351891919 s1553535 https://padlet.com/s1553535/codsr60ugehq/wish/351891935 2019-04-16 07:01:29 UTC https://padlet.com/s1553535/codsr60ugehq/wish/351891935
