A defensive war is a conflict initiated primarily to protect a nation's territory, sovereignty, or interests from an external aggressor. In such wars, the defending nation seeks to repel invading forces rather than expand its own territory. The justification for a defensive war often relies on the principle of self-defense, where the defending party aims to safeguard its population and resources. Historically, defensive wars have been viewed as more justifiable than offensive wars, as they are seen as necessary to maintain peace and security.
