In recent years, there has been horrors occurring in Europe. Millions of lives have died in the most gruesome ways possible. Yet, the hostilities continue as young men march to their deaths, homes are destroyed, and children starve. No one nation is clean from taking part in this war. However, the most egregious offender in this bloodbath seems to be the war hawkish nation of Germany. Although the war started due to the responsibility of promises and alliances, the German government has forgotten that they bear an even greater responsibility. We all have a responsibility to each other as humans, and no nation can justify causing greater suffering than needed. But, the German government has done just that. Not only has the German government used chemical gas in combat to indiscriminately suffocate thousands to death, but they have also refused to end the hostilities even though they were given favorable terms by the Provisional Russian government.

It is for these reasons that I, Rama VI the King of Siam, will declare war on Germany and its allies. Some may claim that this move is political and say that I am an Anglicized gentleman who has ties to the British Empire. I do not deny that I did spend many years in Britain and received a British education. However, it was there that I learned of humanism and the importance of empathy and how humans are implicitly interconnected. Thus, I feel great sadness that Siam must take part in this evil called war, but it is the lesser evil compared to allowing such atrocities to continue. May this war come to a shift conclusion so that the suffering will not grow.

-King Rama VI, King of Siam
