>What will go down as the most unjustified war in history
Unironically Operation: Iraqi Freedom. Most plebs would say Vietnam, but given the context that was Containment Theory, it was far more justified for the period.

Most 19th century colonial wars
Had Britain any reason to attack the Zanzibar Sultanate?

WW1 had plenty of causes and was absolytly justified from the view point of countries facing foreign aggression (Serbia, Belgium, France...)

>Had Britain any reason to attack the Zanzibar Sultanate?
Ending the slave trade which was the stated purpose. Zanzibar was THE center of the slave trade after the transatlantic slave trade was shut down. More slaves went through Zanzibar in the 19th century than went to the whole of the Americas in the 16th through 18th centuries.

Btw, what was the justification for attacking the Zulus?

Opium War

>>1966481
They had settlers in the area and the rise of the zulus was seen as a threat to those settlers. You can disagree with Colonialism all you want, but Britain still had their reasons to fight.

Rwandan Genocide 2bh

>>1966482
Britain needed money to pay the Queen's golden dildos
You can disagree with the Opium Wars all you want, but Britain still had their reasons to fight.

I bet you get mad about Romans putting an end to child sacrifice.

Wasn't just the British, fampai. Pretty much every state with the ability to do so signed on. Mostly just France and Germany (who in reality did fuck all because when they said they were gonna end slavery their colonial subjects threw a fucking fit and started a war).

Belgium is a non country, inept governors, corrupt as fuck, unable to find a terrorist living in Brussels. lack of history and national identity. It's got a few separatist movements.

Shut up, retarded Anglo scum.

WW1 was necessary. It finally ended millennia of traditional despotic multiethnic empire-states in favour of the nation-state.

>>1966496

not when the "crime" of the people attacked is merely existing

Granada was pretty bullshit imo.

Self-Determination of nations is a terrible idea that enables inferior peoples to act as if they are important

Child sacrifice is literally propaganda against Carthage. Besides Romans were no strangers to sacrifice and enslavement themselves.

The Iraq War. But, since it is not really 'history' yet, I say the War of the Seventh Coalition.

Literally a war waged by reactionary cucks. Napoleon had been welcomed back by the French; the Bourbons had fled without anyone caring; Napoleon had made some unsubtle overtures that he would consign himself to simply ruling France and that he would not concern himself with wars of conquest.

But of course, the Seventh Coalition insisted on attacking Napoleon simply because the "old order" of monarchs and powerful clergy had to be maintained.
