Question

What consequences should there be for the countries who lose a war?

Answer 1

Answer: The correct answer is cp: The country that loses the war is practically unable to continue fighting and the winning country can do whatever it wants with the losing country. But if there is some kind of agreement prior to the war, the winner takes all the favorable part of the deal. Also the winning country can demand resources, land or money.

Answer 2

This depends on what the war was on. In general whoever loses the war is forced to obey the victor, but there are special cases. For example, if the victor invaded the loser in order to gain access to their resources, in my opinion the loser should be able to keep their sovereignty but should pay tribute to the victor in the form of the resources they wanted in the first place. However, if the victor was invaded and successfully fended the loser off, they should be able to demand retribution for the sacrifices they made during the war. Does this make sense?
