A '''war of aggression''' is a [[military]] conflict initiated by one state against another without "legal" justification, violating [[international law]] as outlined in the [[UN Charter]].
[[Article 2(4)]] of the UN Charter prohibits the use of force against a state's territorial integrity or [[political]] independence, except in cases of self-defense ([[Article 51]]) or with [[UN Security Council]] approval. The concept was formalized after [[World War II]], notably through the [[Nuremberg Trials]], where initiating such a war was deemed a [[crime against peace]].
[[Historically]], examples include [[Germany]]'s invasion of [[Poland]] in 1939. [[Iraq]]'s invasion of [[Kuwait]] in 1990, the [[NATO]] invasion of [[Kosovo]] in 1999, and the [[United States]] led "coalition of willing" to violate the UN Charter in the [[Iraq war]] of 2003.
