== Independence and Rise ==
In 1448, after Castile's subjugation of Navarra, Aragon declared war on Castile, but saw very little success on the battlefront. In 1450, Naples, in a personal union with Aragon, lost most of their army in Provence against Castile's ally, France. Sardinia and Naples therefore decided to declare independence, which very quickly forced Aragon to sign peace. In the 1451 Treaty of Barcelona, both Sardinia and Naples gained their independence.
In 1463, Sardinia took advantage of the Tunis-Tlemcen War to steal away the northern Tlemcen coastline.
In January 1492, Portugalicia informed Sardinia that one of their fleets had been lost in a storm. The storm had occurred in the "Great Western Ocean" (the Atlantic Ocean), but the fleet had instead discovered the Americas, and they formed the colony of New Sardinia before returning home the next year.
