(Space for Map View of initial Invasion) After the endless standoffs, yells, threats, and tension, the final straw snapped. A particularly large argument broke out once again, after the Tavarians began attempting to move things over the border due to an unexpected shipping haul. The Retentians reacted with hostility, and another screaming match between both sides broke out. One thing led to another, and a shot rang out. Whoever fired it did not matter, what did matter however was the ensuing chaos. Dozens of border guards from each side exchanged fire for around 15 minutes, before the Tavarians abandoned their post at the border, with 12 of them dead. 7 Retentians were killed, and 2 were injured. As soon as the King received word of this skirmish, a declaration of war was sent, thus beginning the Retentian-Tavarian war of 1895.
