Answer: (I’m just giving my view as a Christian, I can’t write your paragraph because I don’t know your beliefs.) As a Christian, I believe war can 100% be justified. Take America’s involvement in WWII for example: we were trying to not be involved directly, but just sending support and aid in the form of munitions and supplies. We really only got involved because a German ship fired on an American ship full of civilians and aid supplies. We joined because we were attacked and innocent lives were lost. On the topic of WWII, I should probably cover the usage of atomic weapons on the Japanese. I am a firm believer of “the ends justify the means.” I also believe the ends (ending the war) justified the means (destroying 2 cities and killing countless civilians). If we hadn’t, the body count would have been even higher than the count of Nagasaki and Hiroshima.
A great them or event is the popularity increasing in the east of the US and there were more economical opportunites.
Answer:
The answer to the question: What does it mean to say that the coinage had become debased, would be: that literally, the value of the coins was nil as the amount of gold, or silver, present in them, was almost nonexistent, being replaced by worthless metals. It means that if anyone was paid using these coins, they would not get the real worth of what they were being paid for, as the coin used had no value.
Explanation:
When talking about money, and especially in ancient times when things were paid with actual coins made out of precious metals like gold, or silver, we are talking about the fact that these coins were worth something because of the metals used to produce them. During Diocletian´s time, because of the little availability of these precious metals, the worth of the coins used to pay for services and for goods, was nule. When money, or currency, has that problem, there is nothing to back it up, and justify its worth, then it is called a debasement of coinage.
