So, why did Ishgard had that battle with the GCs of all the other nations? I tried to read everything but I didn't understand.
Can someone please help? I think it's between the Dragonsong quests.

It was supposed to be a friendly sparring match between Ishgard and the rest of the Eorzean Alliance, since Ishgard hadn't been part of the Alliance for a very long time. I forget if they withdrew after the Battle of Silvertear Skies (about 15 years prior to ARR) or Carteneau (about 5 years prior to ARR).

To give their war-focused culture a new purpose after the end of the Dragonsong War. Ishgard was having a bit of an identity crisis and needed a new direction. They also needed to show the rest of the Eorzean Alliance that they could stand with them as equals against other threats facing the continent. (Of course, one could argue that bringing in the Warrior of Light as a ringer undercuts their point, but.....)

It basically served as an act of solidarity for the Eorzean Alliance, with the added advantage of being a morale boost, of sorts, for the Ishgardian people (who were experiencing a "everything we've been taught to believe over the past thousand years was a lie" epiphany) and needed to find their place, and prove themselves worthy, to join the Alliance.
It also put Emmanelain and House Fortemps back in a better light. -

Thinking back to that battle with Raubahn, a friend showed me a clip from Band of Brothers that describes it well:
Quote:
Ronald Spiers: You wanna know if they're true or not. The stories about me? Did you ever notice with stories like that, everyone says they heard it from someone who was there. Then when you ask that person, they say they heard it from someone who was there. It's nothing new really. I bet if you went back two thousand years, you'd hear a couple centurions standing around yakking about how Tercius lopped off the heads of some Carthaginian prisoners.
Carwood Lipton: Well, maybe they kept talking about it because they never heard Tercius deny it.
Ronald Spiers: Maybe that's because Tercius knew there was some value to the men thinking he was the meanest, toughest son of a bitch in the whole Roman Legion.
