Equestria existed peacefully, then, some refugees coming for better freedoms and tired of living under an oppressive government escaped, they arrive to the place were Equestria is standing, They then make their own settlements and attract more people. The refugees were all friendly, and along with Equestria made a treaty dividing the island. There were two nations and Equestria. Kingdom of Blue and Kingdom of Red. They own farmlands and some mountains, and they grew a ton of food.
Later, the oppressive governments and people living under governments left and joined the giant Continent where Kingdom of Blue, Kingdom of Red and Equestria existed. They raided the land and formed their own nations, Kingdom of Red, Kingdom of Blue, and Equestria teamed up to defeat the invaders. After six months of fighting, they were successful. Then, a huge horde of soldiers arrived and invaded Kingdom of Blue, Kingdom of Red joined in. Equestria reaped the resources and reparations. The Kingdom of Red and Blue lost the war but had less casualties. The next nation was the Kingdom of Orange. Kingdom of Red tried to fight the Kingdom of Orange right away but failed, Blue then rushed to fight Orange and won. Kingdom of Red's ruler, Red II was jealous and fired all generals and hired new generals with a PhD. He wanted smart generals.
Many years, decades passed, the land is filled with nations, they co-exist, there is war and there is peace. Equestria has good relations. Kingdom of Red and Kingdom of Blue went to war many times, It always ended with a victory for Kingdom of Blue or a ceasefire. Kingdom of Blue has more allies, more resources, better equipped military. They invaded the Kingdom of Orange over a border dispute, both sides want the High Mountains, a short mountain chain with plenty of oil, there is gold mines too, and the High mountains are great for defense against an invasion. Red the Second (or Red II) the ruler of Kingdom of Red, he was short tempered and hated losing even more than his best friend, Calebius dying. He wore an eyepatch, and had a red scar on his arm and face. He fought in another war with Kingdom of Blue, he was killed by a sniper at Battle of Red River, but Red won the war and annexed some land, they along with other countries built a navy to attack ground troops and so they can control the rivers and make blockades, Red owns the Red River.
Princess Celestia didn't want to get involved in the war and encouraged the rulers to talk about their problems. Kingdom of Blue felt in hard times and asked Equestria for financial help, every other color country refused since they are also having hard time, they don't want to grant loans since a huge chunk of their economy will be gone, or they hate Kingdom of Blue.
Now, Kingdom of Red and Kingdom of Blue activate conscription, they need it in order to defend the land if the other country invades and both rulers theorized if conscription is activated it would produce good and better soldiers and they will be effective in Battle.
One day, a Red patriot came to Kingdom of Blue and protested about Kingdom of Blue, it's policies, and it's rulers and how Kingdom of Blue is being an imperialist. The patriot was causing a scene by yelling, asking people why they live in an imperialist country, obstructing traffic,and even littering by pushing garbage cans into people's front lawns. Some people asked the patriot to be more quiet which he responded more violently, then he was taken down and sent to prison, he caused more problems and caused the death of a prisoner, he was executed.
Kingdom of Red ruler, Red the Third and Kingdom of Blue's leader Blue the Fourth, met at a room in the capital of Kingdom of Blue, Jamesburg. Red the Third wore a green general uniform along with blue pants, had a scar on his face, and a white mustache. Blue the Fourth had a white mustache, and is wearing blue general uniform and black pants. Red the Third yelled in an angry tone, "It's not fair! Don't people living in your country have the right to protest? our ancestors went to this place to ESCAPE from oppressive governments.."
Blue the Fourth argued in angry tone, "Yes, but he was causing a scene and fought with people, he got arrested and killed a prisoner for disagreeing.. murder grants you the death penalty in Kingdom of Blue!"
Red the Third yelled in a frustrated tone, "He has the right to defend himself... you are a shadow of the oppressive governments our ancestors escaped from oppressive governments so they can basic human rights... how are you a ruler? You are a joke?"
Blue the Fourth argued back in a frustrated tone, "The only joke here is your reign... and future!"
Red the Third yelled in an angry tone, "I am not a mirror... by the way you better pay respect to that protester's family.. I could declare war on you but I don't have enough evidence to justify a war.."
Blue the Fourth replied in an angry tone, "Well.. maybe if the protester didn't attack everyone, get arrested, and killed a prisoner... we wouldn't be fighting!"
Red the Third yelled in a serious tone, "Well.. it's not my fault your government is a joke!"
They then engaged in a fist fight, there were many bruises on their face, Red The Third lost a tooth.. They were separated by the body guards who had bored looks on their faces. They wished this meeting was over.
Kingdom of Blue ruler, Blue the Fourth sat on his chair, there were many body guards in the room, protecting him, they all had a bored look on their faces. Blue yelled in a serious tone, "Red the Third shouldn't have fought me.."
One of the body guards yelled in a serious tone, "You can't start a war over a fist fight... it's a dumb reason.."
Blue the Fourth yelled in a serious tone, "What if?.... I accuse them of stickman right abuse and claim I was trying to overthrow their oppressive government.."
One of the body guards said in a serious tone, "Well.. you can also claim there was serious tension between the two nations.."
Kingdom of Blue ran to his desk. The body guards had a look that is a mix between scared and dumbfounded, they this will not end well for Kingdom of Blue.
Kingdom of Blue's ruler, Blue the Fourth wrote, "Declaration of War against Kingdom of Red.. Kingdom of Red and Blue had tension for a long time, the Kingdom of Blue also believes Kingdom of Red is violating Basic Stickman rights.."
Kingdom of Blue started a war, there is no turning back.
