You don't think that this is a moral battle? The Japanese feel that Britannia is wrong to have invaded their nation and surpressed their culture and treated their people like disposable pieces of garbage. That's why they fight. Lelouch feels Britannia is wrong to surpress the weak like they do. After all, where would that leave people like his sister, who were put into terrible situations that forced them into weak bodies? Who have no choice but to be weak? Further more, he feels that he was wronged as well. They killed his mother, and used him and his sister as tools, and as far as he's concerned, they had no right to do that.

No right to kill his mother?
I don't know where you are getting that idea. This isn't about right and wrong, or even fairness, but suffering, pain, and revenge. The Japanese want their country back, and that's to be expected. The Britannians had taken Japan by force, so it's only natural that the resistance would attempt to use force in retaliation.
If anything, Lelouch uses other people as tools even now. Lulu knew how the Britanian royal courts operate, and was not surprised that people wanted to kill his mother. It was the fact that his father did nothing to prevent it that angered him.
Lelouch is cut from the same cloth as his royal siblings, and he knows it. He wants revenge, and Lulu isn't silly enough to confuse revenge for justice.

Britannia may just be trying to force their superiority on others, but this is definitely a morale battle for those that are fighting against Britannia. Hell, it might even be a kind of twisted morale battle for the Britannians. Think caste philosophy, with an iron fisted peace-by-force philosophy mixed in. Even if its miserable for the people on the bottom, it encourages a kind of stability... a place for everything, and everything in its place. How much you want to bet that the Britannians are Hindu?

Nope, according to Euphie, that's not the Britannian philosophy. Their mentality is that you have the right to do anything your power allows you to do, that as long as you are willing to pay the price of war, you are free to fight anyone anywhere, and that everything belongs to you when you win.
To put it simply, "Might makes Right".
That is why even amongst themselves the Britanian aristocracy is cut-throat. Your birthright, if you have any, is only yours to keep if you are prepared to do anything and everything to defend yourself. Britannians don't believe there is a place for everything, only that you can do anything as long as you win.
