Sakuro-Overseer Conflict

During June 2020, The conflict between The Overseers and The Sakura Pact was the result of increasing tensions related to close borders, disagreements on territorial recognition, and failed diplomatic efforts to resolve the first two points. 
While there were various skirmishes and smaller conflicts that lead into this war, the flash point appears to have been centered around the city of Beijing. At the start of the conflict, the city was occupied by forces from The Sakura Pact following a withdrawal of NSTC forces in the area. Several days later, on June 29th, "Nite", a member of The Overseers, would successfully attack and take the city. 
The spark of war was kindled further by aggressive verbal remarks between both sides. The Sakura Pact retaliated in the first 24 hours by attacking many outlying territories owned by smaller members of The Overseers and eventually assaulting Beijing once more and returning it to Sakura control after almost 12 hours it was taken. 
There was a brief attempt at diplomacy after this point, but neither side seemed willing to budge on the territorial rights of Korea which made it impossible for the two sides to come to a cease-fire. Implantation of a spy within The Sakura Pact's ranks led to an information leak on the whereabouts of Sakura's capital, and a direct attack was launched by The Eye of The Overseers which would sack the borders and capital of The Sakura Pact. War was formally declared and it was quickly identified that a name change from a former Overseers member had helped them join The Sakura Pact. 
In response to the attack and the efforts of espionage against them, The Sakura Pact re-established its own borders before going on the offensive against The Overseers' cities across Korea, Manchuria, and China. Within the next two days The Overseers were reduced to control of just two major cities (Sydney and Seoul). Due in turn to an unrelated sequence of events, The Eye temporarily terminated The Overseers and rejoined The Resistance which as a known Sakura Pact ally forced the fighting to end. Seoul was kept by The Eye, but control of the region was relinquished to Sakura.
