(From a contemporary account)

WAR

May 15, 2008 C.E.

Ships of the Kingdom of Bosworth have opened fire on a taskforce commanded by the Duke of Brookshire. Bosworth had inserted itself into a territorial dispute between Shireoth and New Brittania, allegedly in a peacekeeping role. The dispute was being settled peacefully when the Bosworthians opened fire, slightly damaging two Shirirthain vessels and killing several sailors.

The Duke's force returned fire with devastating effect.

This action proves that Bosworth had no interest in preserving peace, but only in provoking conflict.
