Hawk. ....." There are two forms of aggression.. Direct and Indirect.

But both are still aggression. Japan merely hoped that by using a more indirect and longer term form of aggression it could achieve it's goals at less of a military and economic cost. When it was evident that the US was going to oppose it, militarily if necessary, they chose direct aggression in a vain attempt to shock the US to the extent that we sued for peace.".....

Ok agreed, but would this aggression by Japan be considered a " preemptive strike ".?

I am Still not real clear what " Preemptive strike " means
I know what I think it means but what do you think it means?
