The Memorandum
Memorandum for: King Sombra of the Crystal Empire
From: Princess Celestia of the Kingdom of Equestria
Subject: The Immediate Surrender of All Opposition Against the Kingdom of Equestria
Due to the unforeseen events from your rise to power over the Crystal Empire, including the sudden, tragic death of Princess Amore, it has come to my attention that you wish to further your might and so called “strength of the Empire” by wanting to carry out military operations against the northern boundary of Equestria. Simply put, we, the ponies and representatives of Equestria, will not stand for or tolerate such hostility against our own nation.
Found within our own constitution of the three pony tribes, we will stand ready to oppose and defend against all foreign threats wishing to tear down our establishment of freedom and selfless thoughts of liberty. We will stand ready to defend our rights against the fascist ideas that plague and destroy any and all representation of individualism and self-expression. Lastly, we will stand ready to attack those who wish to only harm and tear down those who live within our land.
You see, you’re teasing and playing with a force you have no business disturbing. It’s comparable to a lonely timberwolf thinking he’s mighty enough to challenge a full grown dragon. You and I both know who would win. Oh, and yes, you’re the timberwolf. Messing with us will only bring down your kingdom in a reign of fire and tar from the heavens.
So, don’t tempt us.
We have a zero tolerance policy against any and all nations threatening to invade our land. We aren’t afraid to use what we deem necessary and appropriate to defend and attack our adversaries for the sake of peace and keeping the lives of our citizens safe. It’s our job to protect their interests and lives, thus making it our top priority.
Also, we believe in the idea that if any government or foe harms or terrorizes an order or belief into their citizens for the sake of control and power, then they aren’t a government worth being supported or recognized in the first place. They instead should be classified as a ruthless dictatorship, one that’s only supported by the selfish ideas of their leaders.
You, King Sombra, are a vengeful tyrant.
It should come as no surprise to you when I say you are only focused upon yourself and your own interests. You’ve neglected and abused the citizens of the Crystal Empire for your own personal gain in territory and control. You’ve turned a once friendly, loving kingdom in the north into a hateful, spite filled dictatorship with no regards for the population you’ve enslaved.
It should also come as no surprise when I say we are not only ready to defend our own land, but ready to liberate the Crystal Empire as well. If one opposing hoof steps on our land, spear is thrown in our direction, or cannon is fired against our troops, then that will be considered a declaration of war against our Kingdom. It will also be the day your Empire will end.
I look forward to visiting the Crystal Empire one day with my hooves treading the grounds of your castle in victory. I can’t wait to see your army surrender into our hooves once they have seen the destructive, magical power of our might. We shall be feared, respected, and swift, using every available resource we have to bring overwhelming firepower down on you, the enemy.
That’s the art of war, King Sombra, something I believe a young ruler will never understand. Your incompetent, selfish, morally lacking leadership will end up with a casualty rate higher than your own intelligence. Sadly, it’s something I don’t wish to see come true.
However, we both know that war is inevitable at this point. Thus, I must do what I can to put you down and end your rule for good. So, again, and I shall repeat, we stand ready to show you what a real opposition looks like. We stand ready to bring down force mightier than any nation has ever felt or heard before. To our foes, we wish to make them feel like the entire world is firing back upon them. That’s how my military conducts war.
However, my sister and I are completely another story. You see, with us being natural born alicorns, we have been granted gifts of magic beyond the abilities of normal unicorns. For you see, we are capable of performing feats which can be described as unbelievable, unthinkable, and simply awe inspiring. To you, however, it would come off as if we are angels of destruction.
Princess Luna, my sister, does hold the ability to enter and control dreams. Wouldn’t it be a shame if your military wasn’t able to sleep anymore because of the constant nightmares they would experience? Certainly that would be a problem of your moral, overall physical conditions, and efforts to fight for your ideals, King Sombra. Having no sleep does wear down an opposing force.
Then, there is me, Princess Celestia. As I’m sure you are aware, I am the main ruler of Equestria and commander of the Sun. In addition to possessing and controlling a military of three different pony races, I also have the ability to transform myself into something no other pony has ever seen before. While it’s a form I’m not entirely familiar with myself, I’m certainly not afraid to use it in order to bring about a swift end to your reign.
It changes me, transforms my own body into a representation of fury and destruction. Death would no longer be its own entity, instead I would be its master. I will burn brighter than the sun, be more fearsome than a raging inferno, and more terrifying than a dragon’s roar. I would single-handedly become an instrument of demise upon those who oppose me. You’d think I was something divine.
However, when we finally meet face-to-face while your army lays in ruins, you will then find out who I really am.
I am the Angel of Fire.
Signed,
Princess Celestia
The Kingdom of Equestria

How to beat someone's ass in one thousand words or less.
Celestia showing some authority
Also luna would seriously be an enormous asset in war, sleeplessness is not to be underestimated
8379122 Exactly.
Sombra is terrified.
Loved this
And you were doubting yourself
Seems like you can chalk this one up as a sucess

Given he was WINNING that war when it happened during Cutie Re-Mark....I don't think he was in any way terrified. In fact, this letter may have in fact provoked him into attacking if he remembered it all those centuries later. So if Celestia was expecting to roll over the guy every and any time he popped up...,then I think we can safely say she failed miserably. Especially given there was NO mention of Luna during that war in Cutie Re-Mark, we can assume that banishing him prior to her own transformation into Nightmare Moon just weakened Celestia's own position when he returns.
We also know that it's unlikely there was an actual war. Celestia and Luna flew up there, fought him, and expected to win and sing happy happy joy joy. Only Sombra was prepared to make their victory a Pyrrhic one. Which he did. And when he comes back in that alternate reality in Cutie Re-Mark, he knew what he was up against and how to counter it. Hell, he almost won in the main timeline, so we can assume that if he HAD gotten the Crystal Heart, this war might have occurred there too.
Not to mention how he almost won in the comics.

Hmmm...
Now you got me thinking about who would still win that war in the Cutie-Remark.
Oh, right, it would still be Princess Celestia.
Think I can narrow it down to three key aspects that prove vital when it comes to war. Those three keys are aerial advantage, intelligence and leadership, and resources. Celestia simply dominates in all categories.
To start, she has complete control over the pegasus since their entire race lies within the borders of Equestria. Thus, it gives her an aerial advantage. She could use that for scouting troop movements, planing and implementing strategic assaults against the Empire, and also carrying out large cargo movements quickly and effectively (making her logistics management better than that of Sombra).
Then there is leadership. Not counting the Princess herself, it's been explained through Wonderbolt history that Equestria has had impressive and capable military leaders to carry out orders and make expert decisions on the field. Thus, I would assume Celestia would have Officers capable to help command and lead the fight against King Sombra. On the other side, we don't exactly know any other leaders, beside the King. And for such a young nation, to pick up and train officers to fight against a strong, well developed kingdom, would pretty much be like sending a baby wolf to go fight against a lion. It wouldn't work out as well.
Lastly, resources. Equestria is spread far and wide, covering miles-upon-miles of farm land, industrial complexes, and other facilities needed to conduct war. All the Crystal Empire seems to have is near-next to nothing unless they grab some land south of their borders. Plus, I will assume that Equestria's population is far superior than that of the Crystal Empire (My rough estimate would be Equestria's population would be 4 to 8x based upon major cities found within both respected borders). That means, Princess Celestia would have no problem with a draft, and having all the means to supply and command her troops against an army I assume might be undersupplied.
Anyways, this is all hypothetical and straight of the top of my head. That's why some points of mine aren't that well defended. Oh well! That's just my two cents.

Remember though that despite everything you just claimed Celestia would do....Sombra was still WINNING. He had actually managed to push Equestria BACK. To the point that Celestia herself isn't enough to just stampede over Sombra's forces. Applejack even flat out says it; even with Celestia leading them, the war is still going on. If your viewpoint is right, the war should have lasted only a few days, tops, with or without Luna (who is never even mentioned as taking part in the war, btw, leaving her entire status in doubt.) and yet the war is not only still going on. Sombra is slowly but surely pushing forward, claiming more and more territory. To the point that, while Equestria has achieved high levels of tech and industry it's still not enough to stop him. So...yeah, I'm sorry, but in this case, you're just flat out wrong. You seem to be of the belief that Celestia is some kind of a god. Not only was this shot down by Lauren Faust herself, she's been flat out proven to be capable of being beaten, so it's not impossible to believe that Sombra has the capacity to win the war. Because he was shown already doing so.

I just now shook my head and realized a kids show just made me think about the economical and statistics for war between two different fictional countries.
This gave me such tingles
Tingles in all of the right places~
Damn fine show good sir/madam!
8379581
I guess you're right.
Eh, neither official enough to be believable nor savage enough to be entertaining for my taste. (Though I must say I've never read an actual historical memorandum so my opinion on the first part of my comment is of limited value)
8379929
Heheheheheheheh. It is kinda funny, yeah.
This was a good read. :)
And then she proceeds to have her shit wrecked when it turns out when it turns out King Sombra’s troops are all mind controlled innocents who don’t sleep nor fear anyway and Sombra turns out to have Alicorn level magic.
8379654
That’s a fun idea, but did you not see the map? King Sombra already conquered and covered half of Equestria in gigantic crystals. Clearly Celestia was not winning the war.
