You don't seem to be getting my point, the Forsworn don't need to fight at all.

The Reachmen are not being oppressed at all, they are not being removed from their homes, and they are not being removed from any rights they possess.

The only reason why the Forsworn are fighting is because they want to remove all "foreigners" from the Reach and rule the land they "rightfully" own.

This is why "who was first" comes into play (because the Forsworn seem to believe that their precursors are foreigners), this is why they won't surrender (even when offered peace by Jarl Hrolfdir), this is why they kill anyone who isn't a Reachman (actually sometimes even Reachmen as they sacked Karthwasten), and this is why the Forsworn are f*cking evil.
