Origin of the Conflict
Kriegstein Succession Crisis
Following the election of P_P_A to the Kaiser throne of the Commonwealth and his inheriting the de facto defunct Kingdom of Kriegstein (and dissolving the latter as was proper), the Republic of Ender claimed that the personal union of the two states presented a violation of the Treaty of Castile.
This claim was protested by the Kriegsteinian government, given that they were still independent and had not ceded any Kriegsteinian territory or titles to the Commonwealth, nor entered into any agreements with that nation. Rather, the Republic of Ender's partial annexation of former Kriegstein territory on the 13th of October presented in itself a (partial) violation of the Treaty of Castile.
Both sides continued to insist on their interpretation of the treaty, though with the Kingdom of Kriegstein's dissolution as a nation, the accusations were inconsequential.
Tensions between Ender and the Commonwealth
Given the power vacuum in former Kriegstein, the Republic of Ender had been wary of Commonwealth expansion into the area. Cartographic mistakes and the alternate history fanfics of Commonwealth members were cited as breaches of the Treaty of Somerset (despite the territory not having been integrated into Ender yet at that point).
The Republic of Ender swept in and pre-emptively occupied most of the lands of former Kriegstein, and demanded a fine from the Commonwealth for its alleged violations. The Commonwealth refused to pay as it deemed Ender's accusations baseless. Both sides were gearing up for war as they perceived the respective other's hostility.
The Breshikan Blunders
On the 13th of October, King Shakomatic laid claim to former Kriegstein, despite Ender's own occupation of that territory just hours before. Although Shakomatic quickly laid down his claim, this event along with an unrelated Breshikan incursion into neutral territory turned out to be the straw that broke the camel's back. The Republic of Ender openly threatened war against the Kingdom of Breshik.
These actions lead to a diplomatic exchange between both parties.
Neutrality of Winterlyn
King Niller of Winterlyn was opposed to war, and indeed bound by treaty to resolve conflicts with the Republic of Ender peacefully, if possible. With the signing of the third Treaty of Pomparley by President Hinoarashi and Kaiser P_P_A I, the Kingdom of Winterlyn was guaranteed neutrality by both sides in case of a war between the Commonwealth and Ender.
During the Battle of Novobydlograd Enderians attacked Wynterlynian observers. This caused a reversal of the treaty of neutrality.
Outbreak of Hostilities
On the 15th of October, while negotiations were still under way and neither party had officially declared war yet, the President of the Republic of Ender Hinoarashi attacked and killed the leader of Dobrobakanistan, Nekronys.
Dobrobakanistan, as per the Commonwealth–Dobrobakanistan Pact was an ally of the Eastern Commonwealth and had proclaimed that it would back them in case of war, but had not yet taken any actions against either party.
Upon being asked to justify her killing of Nekronys, President Hinoarashi responded that “We're at war.” Thus, the Republic of Ender unmistakably declared war upon Dobrobakanistan. The Eastern Commonwealth pledged support for Dobrobakanistan in their defensive war. Given the considerable distance between the territories of Dobrobakanistan and of Ender, the Commonwealth offered its territory as a staging ground for Dobrobakanistan's army, and to support their campaign with their own army.
War
On October 16th, Shakomatic, PPA, and Austrobernd refused to pay the infractions for violating the Treaty of Somerset and expressed they wished for war. And so, a declaration was issued (see above).
