      The comment I replied to said this:

      This was the instigating event behind the civil war.

      Dictionary.com says this for the word “instigating”

      Causing, initiating, responsible for

      Please explain how an event that occured after the invasion was the cause or initiator of the war.

      If you cannot, then admit you didn’t read the thread and just came in here to muddy the waters.

      If you are too proud to admit that, just ghost.
