World War IV

World War IV sometimes referred to as the Altonian Wars on Espa, were a series of semi-global wars on the planet Espa which started in 2311 CC upon the ascension of Komar Barlov, and resulted by 2335 CC in the destruction of Calo-Brezian Hegemony over the Planet.
==Prelude and first war==
At the advance of the 24th century Espa was a tense though peaceful place, its seemed unlikely that a major global conflict was again on its way, however the socio-political changes in the Daravian Aru and the deteriorating relationship with Calomir was reason to be alarmed, when Komar Mitlek died in 2311 he was succeeded by the much more aggressive Alton Barlov, Barlov had made a career out of advocating incorporation of the Darav lands into the Aru, he had done so much so that immediately upon his appointment Brezia and Calomir jointly invaded northern Dravonia, this had the obvious effect that the next day an Ultimatum was received by the Allies. Withdraw withing 48 hours or face the Daravian Army. While the Daravian Army was huge, Brezia and Calomir both agreed that together their forces did outnumber them and they stood a chance.
Unbeknownst to them Barlov had entered a pact with the Walnacht Union, and when the Ultimatum expired both nations invaded. On the first of Mesakor 2311, against this combined force there was no resistance the allies could offer as the Walnacht Army marched into Brezia and Calomir was pushed back by the Blue Army. To minimize damage Calomir and Brezia quickly withdrew and ceded territory. The outcome of this war left Sona in shock though, the Calo-Brezian Hegemony which had lasted for nearly a millennia seemed at an end.
==Second War==
Daravia meanwhile celebrated and adopted a dangerous new mentality under their new Komar, Calomir in particular was horrified by the outcome of this war and began to pimp up their army, much to the dismay of the Komar who in 2317 CC ordered a second invasion against Calomir. Out of fear from Walnacht involvement Brezia did not get involved and Calomir after 2 years of fighting lost, the treaty was harsh, and Daravia gained full control of Dravonia and installed puppet regimes in the Walic states, to the north not to fall behind in 2321 CC the Walnacht Union declared war upon Garnia taking many lands in a war.
In the far east Ihan joined this alliance and launched an attack on Chala held Nalmar in 2324 CC, taking Karagul holdings in the Deridian Islands, this distracted the Brezian navy enough for Barlov to launch a third campaign against Calomir. This time it was all out though and the Blue Army marched all the way up to Tashlal. Forcing Calomir into a humiliating peace treaty. This time most of Anitalu and the former Venzian Empire was occupied by the Aru.
 
Calomir was no at its weakest it had ever been, but Daravia needed time, Ihan had made peace with the Territories they had and with Brezia still at full strength the Komar had to be weary to deliver a finishing blow against Calomir.
==Final War==

For the remainder of the 2320’s Daravia spend building up more forces for the final push to wipe out Calomir, however this time there would be no way Brezia wouldn’t get involved, Daravia needed to introduce a new element into the war. It wouldn’t take long, with the ideology of Lucanism becoming increasingly violent and expansionist. In the wake of their defeat the Calomirians had found a scapegoat in their royal family, their old ways and the still dormant church-state separation. In 2332 CC in a relatively peaceful revolution the royal family was ousted, bringing an end to the 1200 year old monarchical system in Calomir.
To say this event shocked the international community would be a severe understatement, Calomir had the second largest empire on the planet and ruled well over 4 billion subjects world wide. The greatest worries perhaps came from Brezia, who had seen their hegemony over Espa collapse, feared even further deterioration of their political might, and as the royal family fled to Brezia Brezian troops marched into the capital to restore order.
This was all the casus belli the Komar needed and on 7 Falidar 2333 war erupted as their armies marched again to Tashlal, the Komar also sent a second force north to the sea in order to cut of Brezian supply lines, while a seige ensued at Tashlal the Calo-Brezian forces at the border were completely caught of guard by the intensity of Daravian attacks there. Daravian forces crossed the border on Yuvanar 2333, as Brezia desperately tried to deny them of reaching the sea. However to no avail as the surprise attack reached the sea in Olomor 2334 cutting the Brezian army in 2.
With Brezia cut in half the Blue Army swung south approaching Tashlal from 2 directions. Tashlal was surrounded by Ettavor, Brezia desperately trying to save their forces signed an evacuation order and attempted to free their forces by sea. However Tashlal lie at the foot of a small mountain range and many Brezian ships were obliterated by Daravian fire from the mountains. Tashlal finally fell in Perifor 2334 CC knocking Calomir out of the war.
While advised to sue for peace Komar Barlov wanted non of it, and ordered his forces north, on 5 Friavor, the army renewed the offensive this time towards the city of Alomar, the true magnitude of the failure became apparent when in Perifor the Walnacht Union, smelling blood invaded Brezia from the north. The Brezian army went in full retreat. By Asterbor 2335 CC Alomar had been surrounded, as Walnacht forces linked up in the north the Brezian government fleed Alomar on 3 Falidar, for the city to fall on the first of Malimar leaving Brezian empire was beheaded.
In Alomar Komar Barlov drew the new order. In Anitalu he set up the first State Okrai, a quasi-colonial entity which granted preferential treatment to ethnic Daravs. In Calomir and Brezia puppet states were established. The Walic States were incorporated into Daravia without representation, allowing the Komar to deport the Walic peoples and settle ethnic Daravs into the area. The old Sacia state was mostly incorporated into the new Protectorate of Calomir.
Across the ocean the Brezian government and Royal family arrived on the island of Tenebrun, where the New Brezonian Commonwealth was declared.
