An Event die only plays the card, though a card whose text starts a battle, such as Corsairs of Umbar, does so. Cards worded 'Attack...' count as an attack for political purposes. Per the community FAQ, Faramir's Rangers, Dreadful Spells, Return to Valinor, Ents Awake and Spirit of Mordor count as attacks, but cards that merely start a battle with an army do not.
