The Sanpo-Çakar War began with a surprise attack on the naval port of Yalpan on the north coast of Sri Pashana.
Background
Since the Sanpantul Empire was reduced to East Sandwich Island, but the population continued to grow, a need for expansion arose. Under the Çakari flag, Sanpantul became an unincorporated territory, with its inhabitants free to settle in other parts of the Çakar Empire. A nationalist movement, Sanpantul Victory Banner, had won the elections overwhelmingly with their message for "Restoring glory to the Empire" and "Room for every Sanpō".
There is a suspicion that Atiya bint Alsalam initiated the war behind the scenes. But direct involvement cannot be proven. Those who openly voice this suspicion in Sanpantul are dismissed as conspiracy theorists. Political opponents who voice this suspicion in front of a wider audience are arrested. To avoid using the queen's name, they are referred to instead as Aka no joō (赤の女王), meaning: Red Queen.
Eastern Horizon
Already years ago, a military exercise called: Eastern Horizon was prepared. This exercise falls in a sequence of military exercises organised in turn by the various military districts. The aim is for the armed forces to exercise jointly and under different conditions. In 1716 AN, it was the turn of the Chattaan Military District, the district encompassing the Beneluccas and Sri Pashana. In this exercise, the Royal Army of Sanpantul was invited to participate.
