How to Declare War in Crusader Kings 3

War is one of the indispensable dynamics of the Crusader Kings series. This situation also applies to Crusader Kings 3. We can expand our country’s borders, have more natural resources, and increase our taxes with the war in the game. This way, we can become a stronger country and rule the world.

Let’s see how to declare war on countries.

Declaring War in Crusader Kings 3

You need two things to war with other countries. These are Casus Belli and soldiers. A strong army means winning wars and ruling the world. After a strong military, you should have reasons to declare war against countries. The general name of these reasons for war is “Casus Belli,” such as De Jure Titles or Holy Wars, in Crusader Kings 3. On the other hand, you can declare war without a Casus Belli, but this will negatively affect you.

If you have a strong army and a Casus Belli against the country you will declare war on; you can easily fight other countries to strengthen your country.

After determining the country where you will declare war, follow the steps below:
