invasion, or the attacks of an enemy, is called
defensive.

War
The Israelites had to take possession of the Promised Land by
conquest. They had to engage in a long and bloody war before the
Canaanitish tribes were finally subdued. Except in the case of
Jericho and Ai, the war did not become aggressive till after the
death of Joshua. Till then the attack was always first made by
the Canaanites. Now the measure of the iniquity of the
Canaanites was full, and Israel was employed by God to sweep
them away from off the face of the earth. In entering on this
new stage of the war, the tribe of Judah, according to divine
direction, took the lead.
In the days of Saul and David the people of Israel engaged in
many wars with the nations around, and after the division of the
kingdom into two they often warred with each other. They had to
defend themselves also against the inroads of the Egyptians, the
Assyrians, and the Babylonians. The whole history of Israel from
first to last presents but few periods of peace.
The Christian life is represented as a warfare, and the
Christian graces are also represented under the figure of pieces
of armour (Eph. 6:11-17; 1 Thess. 5:8; 2 Tim. 2:3, 4). The final
blessedness of believers is attained as the fruit of victory
(Rev. 3:21).

9. Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) |
WAR. A contention by force; or the art of paralysing the forces of an enemy.
2. It is either public or private. It is not intended here to speak of
the latter.
3. Public war is either civil or national. Civil war is that which is
waged between two parties, citizens or members of the same state or nation.
National war is a contest between two or more independent nations) carried
on by authority of their respective governments.
4. War is not only an act, but a state or condition, for nations are
said to be at war not only when their armies are engaged, so as to be in the
very act of contention, but also when, they have any matter of controversy
or dispute subsisting between them which they are determined to decide by
the use of force, and have declared publicly, or by their acts, their
determination so to decide it.
5. National wars are said to be offensive or defensive. War is
offensive on the part of that government which commits the first act of
violence; it is defensive on the part of that government which receives such
act; but it is very difficult to say what is the first act of violence. If a
nation sees itself menaced with an attack, its first act of violence to
prevent such attack, will be considered as defensive.
6. To legalize a war it must be declared by that branch of the
government entrusted by the constitution with this power. Bro. tit.,
Denizen, pl. 20. And it seems it need not be declared by both the
belligerent powers. Rob. Rep. 232. By the constitution of the United States,
art. 1, s. 7, congress are invested with power "to declare war, grant
letters of marque and reprisal, and make rules concerning captures on land
and water; and they have also the power to raise and support armies, and to
provide and maintain a navy." See 8 Cranch, R. 110, 154; 1 Mason, R. 79, 81;
4 Binn. R 487. Vide, generally, Grot. B, 1, c. 1, s. 1 Rutherf. Inst. B. 1,
c. 19; Bynkershoeck, Quest. Jur. Pub. lib. 1, c. 1; Lee on Capt. c. 1; Chit.
Law of Nat. 28; Marten's Law of Nat. B. 8, c. 2; Phil. Ev. Index, h., t.
Dane's Ab. Index, h. i.; Com. Dig. h.t. Bac. Ab. Prerogative, D 4; Merl.

10. The Devil's Dictionary (1881-1906) |
WAR, n. A by-product of the arts of peace. The most menacing
political condition is a period of international amity. The student
of history who has not been taught to expect the unexpected may justly
boast himself inaccessible to the light. "In time of peace prepare
for war" has a deeper meaning than is commonly discerned; it means,
not merely that all things earthly have an end -- that change is the
one immutable and eternal law -- but that the soil of peace is thickly
sown with the seeds of war and singularly suited to their germination
and growth. It was when Kubla Khan had decreed his "stately pleasure
dome" -- when, that is to say, there were peace and fat feasting in
Xanadu -- that he
heard from afar
Ancestral voices prophesying war.
One of the greatest of poets, Coleridge was one of the wisest of
men, and it was not for nothing that he read us this parable. Let us
have a little less of "hands across the sea," and a little more of
that elemental distrust that is the security of nations. War loves to
come like a thief in the night; professions of eternal amity provide
the night.
