What is another word for preventive war?
Pronunciation: [pɹɪvˈɛntɪv wˈɔː] (IPA) 
Preventive war is a term that refers to a military action taken to prevent an imminent threat or attack from a perceived threat.

There are several synonyms for this term, including preemptive war, anticipatory self-defense, and preclusive war. These terms refer to military actions taken in anticipation of a future threat or attack, and they are often used interchangeably with preventive war.
