Governments declare war to make things official. Imagine you're playing a game with your friend, and instead of just starting a fight in the middle of the playground, you raise your hand and say 'I officially challenge you!' That's like declaring war, it makes everyone know what's going on, and it gives people a reason to join in.
Examples
- Two kids declare war in the playground before starting their battle.
- An army general says 'We are now at war!' before charging into battle.
