aggression
'Ambush' is one possible answer.
the word means an attack or harmful action, esp unprovoked attack by one country by an other......................... hope dat helped :-)
If you are talking about our current war, then yes, it would. The U.S. launched an unprovoked* attack on another country. This is definitely seen as an act of war, even if done with good intentions. *The provocation was a relatively small terrorist group, not the country as a whole, therefore, it could be seen as unprovoked.
Pre-emptive strike
Definition: Not provoked or prompted. Example: The invasion of Kuwait was an unprovoked attack by Iraq.
Poland in September, 1939. It was unprovoked even thought the Nazis staged a phony provocation.
It depends what is meant by "unprovoked". An emu always has a reason for whatever it does, and what may seem unprovoked to humans is not necessarily so to emus. An emu will only attack if it believes there is a threat to its chicks or itself, so stories of "unprovoked attacks" on cars or people are probably inflated. For whatever reason, the emu in question was feeling threatened at the time.
Attack from Another Country on apex
Congress declared war on Japan because of that country's unprovoked attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.
Metaphor
only if it is provoked. it has been known to attack unprovoked but that is in a rare occasion
December 7, 1941. It it wasn't much of a battle. It was an unprovoked attack.
