Since the U.S. and it's allies eventually invaded Japan and Germany as part of their war effort, then would you term the Second World War as The War of Allied Aggression?No. Japan sent a hostile fleet to Pearl Harbor, just as Lincoln sent a hostile fleet to Fort Sumter. Both were Aggressive acts of war against a non-aggressive nation.

Lincoln was sending supplies to the U.S. garrison manning the U.S. fort. He made his intentions to land supplies only and not men or munitions in a letter to Governor Pickens. Yet the confederacy chose to bombard the fort into surrender. That's what started the war and led to the death and destruction that followed.
