They were all causi belli - that is, actual or fabricated reasons for going to war!. In order, WWII (for the US), the Spanish-American war, the bogus "war on terrorism," and WWI (for the US)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

They were all Causus Belli (Reason for War) for the United States!. Traditionally, you need a legitimate reason to go to war!. Being attacked physically and intentionally is at the top of the list!.

Pearl Harbor was attacked by the Japanese which gave use cause to go to war with them (World War II)

USS Maine blew up in Havana harbor!. Today, most people agree it was an accident!. In 1898, the government blamed Spain which gave us cause to go to war with them (Spanish-American War)!.

Zimmerman telegram offered to help Mexico get back the Southwest if they attacked the United States!. This gave us reason to go to war with them in 1917 (World War I)!.

9/11 attacks gave us a cause to attack Afghanistan and also, possibly Iraq!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
