Now, we are going to rewrite this sentence:
I declare war against Denmark, France, and Germany, because they have attacked us for a non-apparent reason.

They have attacked us for a non-apparent reason; there I declare war against Denmark, France, and Germany.

Denmark, France, and Germany have attacked us for a non-apparent reason; therefore I declare war against the countries.

For a non-apparent reason, Denmark, France, and Germany have attacked us; therefore I declare war against the countries.

Having attacked us for a non-apparent reason, I declare war against Denmark, France and Germany.

Since pie is good, I like pie.

Pie is good, so I like pie.

I like pie, for pie is good.
