Daravian Genocide

The Daravian Genocide was the systematic mass murder and expulsion of 3.5 million ethnic Daravians carried out in the Erman Empire and adjoining regions by the Erman government between 2187 and 2189 CC which started on 13th of Olomor 2187 CC during the Great War on Espa.
In 2174 CC, Daravia had been overwhelmed by and fallen to the Erman Armies. The Sack of Weena as well as continuous harsh treatment by the occupiers caused deep running resentment between the population and their overlords
In 2185 Venzia and the Erman Empire stood all alone against the Calo-Brezian alliance, Venzia had held the Western frontline off for 18 years but without its colonial Empire had visible economic difficulty coping with the war. Slowly the western front began to move east...
In the Erman Empire these early warning signs were becoming quite clear, as they saw Beru collapse into anarchy to their north, and Venzia beginning to consider an armistice their forces were withdrawn to the Government General of Daravia. Where they found the Luca River Valley in the state of a war zone, many generals started to blame the Daravians for not submitting. With all these armies now stationed in Daravia, the Ermans for the first time had the power to do something drastic about the Daravs that had pestered and ruined their Empire for centuries, if and when the allied victory happened and the Daravs were to be liberated, surely the allies would pimp up their state at Erman advance. And in the Summer of 2186 CC in a response to the uncontrollable partisan war in Daravia, the Governor made the decision to mass deport the Daravs out of the Luca Valley to the eastern woods of their Empire.
Lists were made of Darav officials, camps established, soldiers were given orders, militias were armed, and camps build for the order of extermination.
When the order was given the 13th of Olomor 2187 CC, Darav officials were arrested and shot, Darav civilians were deported to the eastern woods in forced marches, nearly 3,5 million Daravians were killed during these death marches, succumbing to thirst, hunger and disease.
The genocide in the end did not help the Ermans change the tide of the war and as Venzia signed an armistice the following year the powerblock collapsed, the Brezians marched into Daravia in Asterbor 2189 CC to find the utter devastation left behind by the occupation force. With the fate of the Empire in their hands and the evidence at their feet, the Empire was promptly disbanded by the Treaty of Cicabara later that year which brought the war to an official close and established the First Daravian Republic.
