Due to the [[Second_Great_War#Burgundie_falters|ongoing military crisis]] in [[Burgundie]] beginning with the general Derian uprising in spring [[1934]], Burgundie required large numbers of men redeployed to Levantia. These redeployments, staged in such a way as to appear to be cycling men and arms out for normal duty, managed to evade detection until July 1934, when [[Corumm]]ese intelligence services managed to deduce that garrisons throughout Burgoignesc eastern possessions were drastically reduced. At the 2 August meeting of the Nationalist Association of the Orient leaders, the Corummese delegates presented their findings and argued that it was the perfect time to strike, especially given the divided attention of the Burgoignesc. The Association Council reached a split decision, with the Council resolving to reinvestigate the matter next month to see how the situation in Dericania unfolded. Undeterred, the Corummese government informed [[Venceia]] that the Council had, in fact, resolved to go to war, and that urgent supplies of arms and money were required. Throughout August, large shipments arrived in [[Zaclaria]] from [[Caphiria]] and were distributed among the various parts of the Association by Corummese agents, with a plurality of resources being taken by the Corummese themselves. On 20 August, the Corummese government determined to launch a secret program of mobilization, as the government decided it would go to war against Burgundie alone if the Council refused. | Due to the [[Second_Great_War#Burgundie_falters|ongoing military crisis]] in [[Burgundie]] beginning with the general Derian uprising in spring [[1934]], Burgundie required large numbers of men redeployed to Levantia.

An emergency meeting of the Association Council was held on 18 September. Corummese delegates successfully persuaded their colleagues to declare war, stating that Corummese forces were already prepared and that a declaration could go out in as little as ten days. The Council agreed to declare war but asked for more time, but Corummese officials forced the matter by stating that the best opportunity had already come and that, with our without the Association, it was going to war on 28 September. The Council assented to this timeframe. | ||
On 28 September 1934, Corumm issued a declaration of war on [[Burgundie]] on behalf of itself ans the Nationalist Association of the Orient, revealing the existence of the latter to the public. Due to their agreement of [[1929]], both [[Cartadania]] and [[Pelaxia]] declared war on Corumm and its allies on 30 September, but pledged only limited resources due to ongoing concerns about Caphiria. Urcea honored the terms of the Istroya Pact it had signed earlier in the year and declared war on 1 October, immediately deploying [[Royal Navy (Urcea)|Royal Navy]] assets to [[Antilles]]. | On 28 September 1934, Corumm issued a declaration of war on [[Burgundie]] on behalf of itself ans the Nationalist Association of the Orient, revealing the existence of the latter to the public.
