Casus belli: Perbezaan antara semakan

Pada zaman moden, ''casus belli'' mungkin tidak bertujuan untuk meyakinkan rakyat tetapi sebaliknya, bertujuan untuk memberikan justifikasi kepada komuniti sejagat. Oleh itu, ''casus belli'' juga melibatkan kediktatoran dan negara yang dikuasai oleh tentera yang tidak perlu memberikan sebarang ''casus belli'' kepada rakyat-rakyatnya.

[[Pembunuhan di Sarajevo]] pada [[28 Jun]] [[1914]] akhirnya mengakibatkan [[Perang Dunia I]]. Pembunuhan [[Archduke Franz Ferdinand dari Austria]] di [[Sarajevo]], [[Austria-Hungary]] oleh [[Gavrilo Princip]], seorang nasionalis [[Serbia]], rakyat Austria, serta ahli [[Bosnia Muda]], menyebabkan Austria-Hungary mengisytiharkan peperangan terhadap Serbia. [[Empayar Rusia]] memulakan pengerahan untuk mempertahankan sekutunya Serbia dan dengan itu, mengakibatkan [[Empayar Jerman]] mengisytiharkan peperangan terhadap Rusia sebagai sokongan terhadap Austria-Hungary, sekutu Empayar Jerman. Dengan begitu pantas selepas penglibatan [[Perancis]] dan [[Empayar British]], lima daripada enam kuasa Eropah besar terbabit dalam peperangan umum Eropah yang pertama sejak [[Perang-perang Napoleon]] (lihat [[Sebab-sebab Perang Dunia I]]).

Casus belli was also a prominent issue during the [[Six-Day War]] of 1967. The Israeli government had a short list of casus belli that would trigger military action by Israel in the event that an Arab state took one of the listed actions. The most notable casus belli was a blockade of the [[Straits of Tiran]] leading into [[Eilat]], Israel's only port leading into the [[Arabian Sea]] from which its vessels could reach important markets in [[East Africa]] and [[Southeast Asia]]. Passage through the straits was important since at the time Egypt was also prohibiting any traffic bound to and from Israel from passing through the [[Suez Canal]]. Such a blockade of the straits, in contravention of international law, was undertaken by [[Egypt]] following its expulsion of UN [[peacekeeper]]s from the [[Sinai Peninsula]] and the Egyptian military presence in [[Sharm el-Sheikh]] at the southern tip of the Sinai. The blockade was a major factor in the start of Israeli strike against Egypt's airforce only hours before Egypt was to attack{{fact}}. Syria and Jordan both attacked soon after. Israel asked Jordan to end its attack, telling the ambassador it would consider the Jordanian attack to be a "salvo of honor", necessary as an ally to Egypt. Jordan refused and Israel retaliated, conquering part of Jordan.
