Sack of Pesh

The Sack of Pesh, also called Operation Tropical Storm, the Special Military Operation, the Seizing of Pesh, or simply the Occidentalian-Pesh War was an armed conflict between the United States of Occidentalis and allies against the Kingdom of Pesh, supported by Caelum. It began as a result of border disputes in colonial territories of both nations, and allegations of genocide against the Hejistanis by Pesh. On December 16th, 1610 BCS, Occidentalis declared the government of Pesh as unofficial, followed by the start of a special military operation. On October 1st, as troops approached the Pesh capital, the main building was destroyed in a massive explosion by their own government. Resistance fell apart, and Pesh surrendered on the same day.
== Prelude ==
=== Founding of Pesh ===
During the early stages of the First Cold War, The United States of Occidentalis had a major population boom. To account for the country's rapid population growth, many Occidentalians began colonizing the southwestern jungles. Eventually the people of the southwest developed their own identity, largely separate from the rest of Occidentalis. These sentiments caused the southwesterners to seek separation from Occidentalis, peacefully separating in 1932 BCS, and founding the Kingdom of Pesh. 
=== Early Disputes With Occidentalis ===
While separating from Occidentalis peacefully, the relationship between the Occidentalis and Pesh countries was very shaky, with a lot of tension between them. The first immediate flashpoint between the two countries was the border, a question Occidentalis wanted to quickly answer. In 1903 BCS an Occidentalian delegation was sent to Pesh in hopes of defining a border. After the War of Peten K'uhul Succession, Occidentalis had began expanding southwards to achieve one of its geographic goals, to stretch from the very north to the very south of its continent, and had actually purchased some land from Pesh to complete it. Pesh objected to any further Occidentalian expansion in the region. Occidentalis and Pesh eventually settled on a border treaty, however it was never signed and neither country followed the agreements made with the other.
