Operation Eradicate

Operation Eradicate, also known as the Coalition Invasion of Finolia, was the attempted Coalition invasion of the Republic of Finolia during the Imperiyan War. It lasted during the winter and spring of 1922, and resulted in a Finolian victory after they crushed the Coalition offensive in the Second Battle of Edistonia.
Finolia initially left the war after Carbis, a Finolian state that declared their independence, surrendered and signed terms of white peace. Ever since the surrender of the State of Bulphi, the Coalition had begun planning an invasion of Finolia. 
Arnuu, a long-time ally of Finolia, was invaded by Coalition forces. Finolia and Arnuu had a defensive pact that was signed in 1902, stating the Finolia would send military support to Arnuu in case of attack. Operation Eradicate began with the invasion of Arnuu, in which the Coalition expected to join the war against them. The Finolian congress declared war on the Coalition two days later, and Operation Eradicate had begun. 
Arnuu had plenty of resources, such as iron and oil, and capturing these resources would give the Coalition and advantage in their invasion. The Arnuuan military was originally overwhelmed by the Coalition forces, however Finolian military support arrived several days later, and slowed the invasion to a halt.
