A pre emptive strike is made as an action to forestall the action of the enemy. As an example in WW2 Hitler invaded Norway for the precise reason that it would prevent Britain from doing just that. The British did land some forces but they were withdrawn swiftly. Thus Germany had made Norway a sattelite state which was able to guarantee the supply of Swedish Iron Ore year round via Narvik (Narvik is ice free in winter, the Gulf of Bothnia is not) which was what the Germans were interested in maintaining. Sweden was able to remain Neutral. As a result of the Norway campaign a vote in the House of Commons went against Neville Chamberlain & enabled Churchill to become British Prime Minister.
