If none of these topics work for you, feel free to suggest additional topics to go with the prompt. If warfare isn't really your thing, feel free to ask for a more political prompt.
The definitions the must be standardized are the following:
Justified: having, done for, or marked by a good or legitimate reason; more preferable than not doing said action.

I'm not sure if I can make it to the next round of the tournament (I'm leaving for spring break vacation in a few days) - I thought the second round wouldn't start until after the 1-week voting period was over, like in the other tournament. Is there anything that can be done?
-->
@AustinL0926
It will be after voting concludes. Prez just suggested we get topic selection out of the way.
-->
@WeaverofFate
Ok, that's cool. Thanks for the clarification.
-->
@PREZ-HILTON
Which topics do you prefer and which sides would you like?
Here are mine.:
Preferred Topics
The Americans were Justified With the War in Iraq (2003) (Pro)
- Germany was Justified in Declaring War on Serbia (1914) (Pro or Con)
On Balance, the World is Better Off Due to America Winning the Cold War (Pro)
- Napoleon's Conquest was Justified (Pro or Con)
- The American Revolution was Justified (Pro)
- Napoleon's Conquest was Justified (Pro or Con)
- The American Revolution was Justified (Pro)
The German Invasion of Poland (1939) was Justified (Con)

@Sir.Lancelot
The German Invasion of Poland (1939) was Justified (Con)
You want me to defend Hitler?
-->
@PREZ-HILTON
Sure, but that’s up to you.
-->
@PREZ-HILTON
Aye I would do it
-->
@WeaverofFate
I think I will also.
-->
@Sir.Lancelot
I will do the polish one. You can issue the challenge if you want but leave the description as blank as possible. It's probably best if I issue the challenge since I am debating the affirmative.
Well definition of justified as given by weaveroffate should be in the description. I think we still have like 3 or 4 more days until we are supposed to start. If you issue the challenge, I want my voters to be Barney and weaveroffate

@YouFound_Lxam
Sure, I don't really have a strong opinion so that's fine. Challenge me when you're ready. I'd prefer two of the judges to be WeaverofFate and whiteflame.

@YouFound_Lxam
Friendly reminder for you to send the challenge sometime -
