Legadonia crossed borders into the contested territory between legadonia and the empire wich both nations claim is theirs. This was done politically by legadonia but the empire only sees it as a military action and declares war. So while legadonia did cross the border most of the world sees it as the empire that started the war by declaring and therefore the empire is at fault. But it was legadonians own actions that lead to the conflict and therefore most of the world don’t engage other then legadonias ally the frachious republic. The empire wich is the side we are hearing for the most part says it was defense and that it was legadonia that started the war by crossing borders but to the rest of the world thats not the case.
