History develops with its inevitability, a timeless truth.
Wars are mostly sparked by the disruption of balanced power, and this time seems no exception. The anti-Charlemagne alliance led by Albion has essentially come to light; the Church refuses to mediate, countries begin to control the export of goods to Charlemagne, the establishment of Dao Sheng Bank and the continuous decline of silver prices... Charlemagne, which until recently was formidable and beyond question, has now fallen into a quandary, unable to cope unless it takes some kind of "decisive measures." It seems inevitable that they will have to regurgitate the gains they have previously swallowed.
