Just War Theory

Thw just war theory was presented by Augustine. He believed that wae was a sin so in order for it to be not a sin it would have to be just. He thought the only way to say that a war was just was if it was for peace. He put many requirements on the just war so that they could have it. It had to be the very last resort, initiated by the government or highter power, it would need a chance of success, be for the right intentions, do not attack civilians, etc. Audustine just war theory made it ok for the government to have a war.
