Journal for 20 minutes about what you think about World War 1? Was it necessary? Was it justifiable? Did it accomplish anything important? Is there ever any good reason to go to war? If so, what is it? Here are some references to consider:

Alma 43:9-15

Here is what the general Authorities were saying in conference shortly after the U.S. entered WW1:

"It is not right for us to engage in the shedding of human blood, for vengeance or retaliation. But when the Lord commands or inspires his servants to counsel the sons and daughters of Israel to lend their aid in the work of righteous warfare, that is different. … We are to arise in our might and in our strength and go forth to victory; not with a desire to shed blood, not with the desire to destroy our fellow creatures, but in self defense and because we do want to maintain and hand down to our posterity those sacred principles of liberty that have been revealed from on high” (in Conference Report, Oct. 1917, 21). Read full excerpt here.
