Imagine you're playing a game with your friends. If someone takes all your toys, you might yell and say, 'I'm going to war!' That's kind of like how countries decide to declare war, when they feel wronged or threatened, they use war to try and fix it. Sometimes leaders talk it out first, but if that doesn't work, they choose war.
Examples
- Two countries argue for years, and one day, they attack each other without warning.
- A small village is attacked by an army. The leader says, 'We have no choice but to go to war.'
