Kryvonean Independence War

The Kryvonean Independence War, often referred to as the Yigon War, was a small-scale conflict between the Kryvonean rebel forces and the Gothrian-Volonten coalition following Kryvonea's collapse after the interim leaders of Yigon and TheWorkingGamer declared the First Treaty of Kenka as null.
== Background ==
Following the resounding failure of the Kryvonean military at the First Battle of Kenka, Crown Prince Cross Lumiere signed the First Treaty of Kenka in regards to the First Kenka Conference which recognized the cities of the former province of Kronetsk as the Republic of North Volonte, and the remainder of Kryvonea to be merged under the new state of Gothria with Vanshire. Upon discovering this treaty however, Emperor Yigon Indragiri would attempt to unravel the treaty, continuing the conflict. In attempt to salvage peace, Emperor Otto e Olea of Aristios hosted the Second Kenka Conference to discuss a solution - this would be another failure, and an interim Kryvonean government headed by Yigon and TheWorkingGamer officially declared the treaty null.
== Battle of Vidyanagrad ==
The coalition forces opened to attack, and strategically chose the city of Vidyanagrad, believing that its sentimental value to Yigon would greatly effect his desire to continue the war effort. However, unbeknownst to them, the Kryvonean high command would choose not to spend their resources on the battle, and instead save them for a counter-offensive against Kirvograd. As the coalition moved in, they found that Vidyanagrad was empty, and took it with no resistance.
== Second Battle of Kenka ==
The defeat at Vidyanagrad had given the Kryvoneans time to prepare a reasonably fair stockpile of equipment. They would also receive donations from the Republic of Helsia. During this time, TheWorkingGamer would diplomatically maneuver his way to gain more outside help, contacting allies in Rathnir, such as the Lusarii Imperium. However, most supplies from Rathnir wouldn't arrive on time for the 2nd Battle of Kenka.
At this point, a prior military failure at Kenka and seemingly inability to mobilize at Vidyanagrad convinced the coalition that Kryvonea was incapable of defending itself, resulting in minimal spending from them. On the other hand, the Kryvoneans had constructed a formidable and strong army and had firm defenses set up for Kenka. After an incursion from the coalition was successfully repelled by the Kryvoneans, no further offensive was launched against Kenka. In response, the Kryvonean forces, led by Epsri and TheWorkingGamer, would launch a counter-offensive against Kirvograd, attempting to capture the city as a whole. Despite pushing deep into Kirvograd, the Kryvoneans failed to capture the city. This was known to have severely enraged Yigon, who believed the city had only been spared at the "foolish whims" of his commanders. Despite failing to retake Kirvograd, the Kryvoneans had succeeded in clearing up their western front. 
== Third Treaty of Kenka ==
With the Kryvoneans winning their first battle, and the coalition forces satisfied with crippling Kryvonea, the two sides reengaged in successful peace talks.
The terms of the treaty stated that North Volonté would be officially recognized by Kryvonea while Kryvonea itself would be able to self-rule. The treaty further stated that the cities of Velgan, Curograd and Vidyanagrad would be annexed by Vanshire to form Gothria. Furthermore, Yigon would be exiled from Kryvonea. The treaty also implemented a temporary three month non-aggression pact signed by all parties.
== Aftermath ==
Many historians debate how the Kirvograd-Kryvonean crisis in general could have concluded, although most agree that a weakened state and a crumbling economy would have prevented Kryvonea from a favorable victory. Indeed, the result of both wars saw Kryvonea shrunken to a mere third of its original size, and left with a devastated economy, landscape, and a nonfunctional government, as many officials were slain during the revolution. Kryvonea as a state saw nonstop riots, protests, and a plummeting of life expectancy. This, combined with a total lack of efficiency of the government and continuous bickering and arguments between officials would eventually see the state completely collapse as TheWorkingGamer would entirely dissolve Kryvonea, which Gothria, later Nazarin would capitalize over, gradually annexing the entirety of Kryvonea. 
One veteran of the revolution described it by saying, "A bloody revolution to result in more bloodshed only for nothing to have ever changed. Fuck Nazarin, fuck Volonte, and fuck Kryvonea. Fuck it all."
