An historical reference that could as function as a reference is the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1961.

When the soviet missiles were transported by sea and arrived to Cuban soil, they could be shot from there and they would reach US territory (Florida).

This was understood as a direct threat to the US. It the US had decided to retaliate in that moment by sending a direct attack, the Cold War conflict would have been transformed into a direct conflict between two blocs that owned nuclear weapons, so it had probably led to the world's destruction. Fortunately, although the tensions were really high, the US decided to wait and negociate instead of sending an attack in the first hand.

The best piece of historical evidence you could use to justify a counter attack in a situation like this would be the bombing of the USS Cole, which greatly changed the rules of engagement.

What happened during the<br> American Revolution?
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

American Revolution, also called United States War of Independence or American Revolutionary War, (1775–83), insurrection by which 13 of Great Britain’s North American colonies won political independence and went on to form the United States of America. The war followed more than a decade of growing estrangement between the British crown and a large and influential segment of its North American colonies that was caused by British attempts to assert greater control over colonial affairs after having long adhered to a policy of salutary neglect. Until early in 1778 the conflict was a civil war within the British Empire, but afterward it became an international war as France (in 1778) and Spain (in 1779) joined the colonies against Britain. Meanwhile, the Netherlands, which provided both official recognition of the United States and financial support for it, was engaged in its own war against Britain. From the beginning, sea power was vital in determining the course of the war, lending to British strategy a flexibility that helped compensate for the comparatively small numbers of troops sent to America and ultimately enabling the French to help bring about the final British surrender at Yorktown.
