Easterlings hand out quests to kill dwarves of Durin's Folk. Wouldn't you expect the Dwarves to aid Dale in War? Afterall, Dale shares the same Enemies as Durin's Folk, except for Rhúdel. Rhudel constantly harassed and attacks Dale. That's why. Erebor and Rhudel are trading partners. Sorta like how the USA trades with China despite being at odds with its ally, North korea I wouldn't say they're trading partners.If that's true, in 3001 TA, what lead Rhudel to attack Erebor in 3019 TA?

EDIT: What type of "Friendly Trading Partner "(Rhudel) orders you to kill their other trading partner (Durin's Folk)? If you're going to do Rhudel kill quests, you would most likely have Negative rep with Durin's Folk and Dale. It is a covert op type situation. Harm the people who you know would support your opponents in war rather than a full on assault where it is clear Rhudel wants war. As to what led to the battle, a servant of Sauron offered Dain II a dwarven ring in exchange for his alliegiance, Dain refused, and Sauron ordered the easterlings to attack Dale, Erebor supported their ally
