Okay, imagine this situation:
You are the leader of Belgium. You have a defensive pact with Britain and you are minding your own business when Nazi Germany decides to invade your country because it is preferable than invading through Alsace/Lorraine which the French heavily fortified and would cause massive casualties on their 'side.' What would you do? Not fight back? What if you were Britain, would you not honour your defensive pact with your ally Belgium?
Defensive wars are still wars.
Thanks for walking me through it. So I take it your meaning is that Hitler's invasion of Belgium was unjustified. So, I guess we can assert that likewise Hitler's invasion of Poland was unjustified. So, in the balance we can say that WWII was not justified.
So, that leaves us asking again what wars are justified, and if there is one, can you name it?
