all war is justified.
that being said; the justifications provided aren't always good, and are made up for convienece. but it is justified. there are no winners in war. there is only a side that lost more, and a side that lost less. that being said; a just war is one in which everyone loses the same amount or nobody loses at all. and, as everyone loses in war, the only just war is on in which everyone dies. so; MAD is the only justified war. |

Did they lose the same as the Spanish? |
