First Alteraci-Stromic War

The First Alterac-Stromic War was the first of many conflicts between the Kingdom of Alterac and Kingdom of Stromgarde. It is famous for its outcome, being a stalemate. Combat took place on both land and sea with aid from allies.

Prelude
The cause of the war is heavily rooted in the raising of King Victor Perenolde I, son of King Peter Perenolde. King Peter was a businessman, however he was notoriously rude to foreign dignitaries. At one point, a Stromic diplomat fired back at him following a jest and King Peter took it as a sign of great disrespect. He demanded an apology but none was received. King Peter prepared his armies but was fortunately convinced by advisors not to go to war over a petty remark.

However, King Peter constantly told his son how he would lead Alterac to greatness, how one day he would expand its borders beyond the Alterac Mountains. He also indoctrinated his son the belief that Stromgarde was a hidden threat to Alterac.

Many years later, after Victor had been King of Alterac for some time, King Thoraric of Stromgarde increased the troops on Thoradin's Wall by a considerable number. Victor naturally grew suspicious of Stromgarde due to his prejudices of Stromgarde. Stromgarde also imposed a toll tax on Thoradin's Wall which affected Alteraci land trade to Stromgarde, the Wildhammer Dwarves, Ironforge, Stormwind and Menethil Harbor. This resulted in Victor growing mildly frustrated with the Stromic as well.
