Excerpt from Elements of Strategy
The Austro - Prussian war of 1866 waged for the pur pose Of determining which of the belligerent states should be supreme in Germany was terminated shortly after the first decisive battle; the civil war in America and the British - Boer, in war which questions of independence were involved, were prosecuted until the lesser powers were absolutely exhausted.
Objects of Defensive Wan - The objects of a purely defensive war are to neutralize the armed strength of the invader and thus render him incapable of prosecuting the war offensively; to cause a change of sentiment in the authorities and the people of the invading nation so that they will accept peace terms acceptable to the defender; and to enlist the sympathies of neutral nations and cause them to secure peace through active participation or through diplomatic influence.
To secure these objects, the war must be prolonged: the war strength of the defender preserved in a state of efficiency as long as possible; the invasion of the territory resisted vigorously; and the war-like Spirit of the people SO aroused that they will be willing to make any sacrifice rather than accept peace on the terms of the invader. A defensive war does not preclude offensive operations; in well-conducted defensive war, the invader is attacked whenever this can be done without compromising the armed strength upon which the nation must rely for a continuance of the struggle.

Excerpt from Elements of Strategy
Offensive and Defensive War. - War is a contest waged between two belligerents for the purpose of determining questions at issue which cannot be settled by ordinary diplomatic means. The contest is usually directed by the chief executive power of a state acting as the supreme controller of the national armies and navies. During the progress of a great war all the powers of the nation should be centered in bringing the war to a speedy and successful termination by diplomacy, and by the utilization of the resources of the nation to raise its armed strength to a state commensurate with the task before it, and to maintain this state throughout the contest. The contest itself is carried on by the armed strength of the belligerents directed by the commanders of the land and sea forces.
A war is offensive on the part of the belligerent whose armed strength enables him to invade and maintain himself in his adversary's territory; it is defensive on the part of the one who is unable to protect himself from such invasion. When the belligerents are approximately equal in armed strength, the war may become alternately offensive and defensive, or it may be offensive in one part of the territory and defensive in another.
