The exact reason why Maximillian led the Empire to invade Gallia hasn't been told in the anime yet.

He does want to overthrow the Emperor. The means for that lies in Gallia though.
Spoiler for Maximillian's reason:


Terms such as "evil" and "good" are really out of place if you're going to asses the actions of nations. The Empire is the aggressor in this case, but eventually they are acting out of self-interest and not out of a manichean concept of "evil". This is politics, not religion.
The Federation act out of self-interest too. Evidently getting their hands on the ragnite-rich nation of Gallia would be very beneficial.
That's why small neutral countries need the means to defend themselves, because we can't really trust our neighbours.
