Solution

Good morning, Respected judges, my beloved opponent, and all audience. Now I want to express my views on “Wars create more problems than they solve”.

According to myself, all wars are miserable. These dangerous wars lead to poverty, as well as millions of families suffer. It creates economic problems among the people. The people will suffer uncountable problems such as a lack of food and medical supplies. During the war, many people lose their lives and there will be a lot of chaos in the county. Wars don’t arise, wars are fought to increase their power or empire over a particular area. After the war, when the winning country celebrates, the other country is trying to get revenge on the country. So I want to say that war does not solve problems. It merely creates new ones. It is entirely true. After the war is over, people are left with no homes, jobs, families can be taken from them. War not only damages the people but also destroys the very world around us. After being in a war, It is hard to go back to normal life. Finally, I want to conclude that wars have been destroying entire cities. Fertile agricultural areas have been laid barren, many people have become refugees, lives of the people have lost. So in fact, war has created more problems than it has solved. I firmly think that all opponents agree with me.

Thank you
