This command will declare war between two countries.
The declare_war command is an EU4 console command that allows a player to initiate a conflict between two nations without a Casus Belli (CB).
In Europa Universalis IV, a Casus Belli or CB is a required condition that justifies a nation going to war against another nation.
However, with the declare_war command, this prerequisite is bypassed.
When this command is used, it will immediately put two nations at war with each other. The syntax for this command is
declare_war [attacker country tag] [defender country tag]
The defender country tag is the tag of the nation you want to declare war on, and the attacker country tag is the tag of the nation you want to declare the war.
An important thing to note is that you don't actually have to control the attacking nation to use this command.
This means you could, theoretically, make any two nations go to war with each other from any point in your game.
