True. It's all spin. And I did attack you first. But as I warned you, I consider that province essential to my border, and I do know who I'll first be waging war against. I didn't really give diplomacy a serious chance, I'll admit, nor give the games slow-*** communications a chance. But I did offer to pay blood price for the province, in money or whatever. So, to be fair, for the record, you're hardly the aggressor or whatever, but as I consider that single province a key component to my defensive line, so help me, I consider it a state of war until its under my control. It's within two spaces of my capital, and on my side of thin landbridge. As it is, you need hold only that province, while that one province forces me to defend more of my side.

And somehow, despite being completely innocent, your bless nation is bringing enough giants to overwhelm 25 pd points and forty soldiers. Such virgin innocence. You're now one step from my capital. See why I thought it was a strategic necessity to hold that province?
