Your first statement is wrong. Wrathgate lead to the deaths of Bolvar & Dranosh both of whom return in Icecrown Citadel. the event after Wrathgate Battle for the Undercity has Varian litterally declaring war on the horde read the dialogue in the first comment http://www.wowhead.com/quest=13377/t...-the-undercity it explains why nobody or so few people actually trust the forsaken post Wrathgate/battle for undercity. and Varian let Saurfang take his sons corpse not Jaina
King Varian Wrynn says: Stand down, Muradin. Let a grieving father pass.
Secondly Assassination of Archduke Ferdinand ignited a powerkeg which lead to a spiral of events causing WWI ( its Highschool history )
Garrosh ordered the Forsaken to invade Gilneas after the wall fell due to the cataclysm ( the forsaken already have previous history of conflict with the Gilneans thats why there is a wall ) the Night elves come weeks after to aid the gilneans as they had sensed the conflict.
I wonder if this expansion will see the Zandalari ally with the horde.
This could goes with the predictions for increased character customization - the Zandalar trolls look very different from the Darkspear (the male Zandalari use a male night elf skeleton)
Also, what's the purpose of having Stormwind unless she intends to turn the human fatalities into more forsaken?

If Warcraft followed real-world rules regarding "rebuilding," then there wouldn't be a single soldier left in the Alliance or the Horde. Every race has been portrayed as "nearly extinct" at some point in the last ten years, and have been at constant war for that entire time. Their resources, both in manpower and supply, would be utterly spent.
Two expansions is a lifetime ago in Azeroth time. If they had the ability to fight off a Legion invasion, they have the power to oppose the Alliance. And something tells me Sylvanas doesn't plan on fighting fair.
You know why the Horde are always portrayed as the aggressors? Because they ally themselves with a lot of bad hombres. And Sylvanas is one bad hombre. And even worse, she's evil AND desperate. Now, you want to argue that it shouldn't be that way? Okay, fine. But this isn't some new thing. The Horde has always been the dark shade of grey morality-wise. Plus, the Alliance, which was supposed to be the lighter grey, has been portrayed pretty damn close to pure good throughout WoW. Unless they were changed massively, them starting a war is simply out-of-character. Greymane wants too, of course, but if the Alliance could make peace with the Forsaken after the shit they pulled in Gilneas, then what could cause them to attack first this time?
War makes sense to be honest.
The Legion is finished. The Horde and Alliance are likely oblivious of N’zoth’s existence. The Scourge appears contained by Bolvar. The Naga are unreachable. There is nothing in the way of the Horde and Alliance dealing with each other at this point and likely they see each other as their biggest threat.
The problem is that, even if that happened, it would have to come from two characters to be logical in any way; it would be either Genn or Jaina. Malfurion, Velen, the dwarven council and Mekkatorque are all off the chart.
If you then break down the reasoning behind their hatred and aggression towards the Horde, it would be reasoning a hundred times better and easier explainable than the one Horde had when it was the first to start it. It would be a war based on vengeance and revenge, not mindless hatred. In this sense all Blizzard would do is give the Alliance even more edge as it would look like they're finally giving the Horde what it had coming for such a long time.

golden is a piece of shit.
i read essays from children with better storys.
she is as good as that "fuck that looser" guy from diablo3 who wrote the shitstory and became a writer after.
Btw they just made the whole MoP end cutscene pointless and made VolJin a fail piece of blind shit.
Thrall and Varian basically provided VoJIn an opportunity to make Horde great again, and then VoJin did nothing, listened to some bullshit spirts then gave the crazy elf the nuclear bomb and fcking died. One of the most epic character fails in Blizzard history. He was as harmful as cancer.

I said it above, you could easily have this same conflict started by Alliance.
Anduin is young and inexperienced so someone older and more charismatic (like Genn or Taylor or Jaina) could easily score some political points there.
Turaylon is also gonna come back to Azeroth learning how his homeland is blight infested and inhabited by undead.
They made Clalia Menethil give literally zero fucks about Lordaeron even though she is rightful heir.
Alliance is always portrayed as reactionary faction which is kinda shame since you could have some really cool story arcs otherwise.
For example, you could have Anduin learning the hardships of ruling and being a king by trying to prevent war Genn or someone else wants to start.
I always wanted to see some sort of Light-based Spannish inqisition type of conflict against Forsaken or something weird like that.
Yea that's what I was thinking. It would be cool way to shook things up a bit in Alliance.
