Why would she put so much effort into framing Ironwood for her attack and telling everyone that he was a tyrannical dictator? Because the plan is to turn everyone against each other. If Vacuo and Mistral think that Ozpin has been training Vale's Huntsmen badly and that Atlas is up to something dark and attacked Vale, then they won't have much trust in Atlas or in Vale's Huntsmen. Cinder even mentions that things in Mistral are "equally undesirable", which also shines a bad light on Mistral, for other kingdoms.

Even in Volume 3, Salem talks about dividing mankind in her ending speech. Whatever Salem and Cinder want, part of getting it involves dividing the kingdoms.
