Unless the Kingdoms themselves want to (based on song lyrics and various dark hints). In that case any small matter can be used as an excuse, and this one? The potential destruction of the colosseum, destruction of part of Vale, breaches that enabled Grimm attacks and Atlas soldiers themselves attacking Vale citizen? People have started wars over much smaller issuse. This one totally can evolve into another war.

That being said I don't think Vale wants war. The impression I got from the councilmen are cowardly and profit-minded. But the wicked minded from other Kingdoms - such as Atlas - may want to invade Vale, and may possibly be using this opportunity to gauge Vale's strength. If they're weak and are further weakened by these series of disasters, who's to say they won't seize the opportunity to conquer Vale altogether?
