War of Peten K'uhul Succession

The War of Peten K'uhul Succession was a proxy war that took place in Peten K'uhul in 1911 BCS over the succession of Peten K'uhul's king. The war is also regarded as World War II due to the scale of the combat. It saw large-scale lavacasting and destruction of the jungle and island. The war is generally seen as the first war apart of the greater Cold War. 
== History ==
At the beginning of 1911 BCS, the ruler of Peten K'uhul died without an heir, leaving a power gap in southwest Orbis. Nations bordering Peten K'uhul saw opportunity to expand influence, which would lead to clashes.
== The Occidentalian-Columbian War ==
On January 16th, Occidentalian troops were sent to capture the capital of Peten K'uhul, on an island in a jungle lake. After securing the city, the Occidentalian government proclaimed the creation of the new Peten Republic, which then immediately ceded the Kasaj Bay region to Occidentalis. While the Occidentalians made moves in the north, the Columbian army was sent to the former K'uhutl vassal of Kaanojo to occupy it. The president of Kaanojo was captured and was later killed by a zombie. Columbian forces then marched north following the Peten K'uhul railroad. Columbian forces followed the railroad and charged straight into the Peten K'uhul capital. The small Occidentalian garrison was forced to withdraw to the north of the island, and began regrouping.
Occidentalian and Alantan forces were sent to the island en mass to prepare a counter attack. The two forces began skirmishing with each other throughout the months. The Occidentalian counter attack began on October 7th, with Columbia being pushed back all the way to Kaanojo. The Columbians attempted to hold a tower within the Kaanojo, while the Occidentalians and Alantans surrounded and began attempting to climb it. A ceasefire was called, with Occidentalian forces withdrawing to the capital island.

=== Phase 1 - Battle above Peten K'uhul ===
On August 1911, Orientalian forces moved into the Peten K'uhul island. The Occidentalian forces were forced to allow the Orientalian forces to stay. On Febuary 16th, Occidentalian and Alantan troops drove out the Orientalian forces. The Columbians and Orientalians began planning a counterattack. Being outnumbered by Columbian and new Orientalian allies, Occidentalis enlisted the help of Alanta and some Rovodan mercenaries. Fighting began on the temple on the island, with Occidentalis quickly expelling Columbian troops from the capital. They then towered high above the tower and placed beds to fortify their position. Columbian-Orientalian forces engaged in a struggle as they towered upward under arrow fire. After a week of tower combat, Columbian troops managed to scale up the main platforms, destroying Occidentalian beds and winning the first phase of the battle and holding the island. 
=== Phase 2 - Battle of Peten K'uhul ===
Occidentalian and Rovodan forces regrouped along the north railway leading into the capital, and launched an offensive along the bridge into the island. However the Coalition forces had fortified, and successfully fended off the attack. However, they would face a relentless assault in the waters, in, and around the island. This lead to explosions and fires, razing the temple and much ground. Fighting continued until a large pillager raiding party invaded the island, amid the chaos, diplomats from both sides called for a truce, and a duel a 1v1 between H1p0 and Neim. Having been inconclusive, major participants and generals were called to Chesapeake to discuss peace. This would not result in much however. Because both sides wanted the island, no negotiation could be reached. 
=== Phase 3 - Total War ===
With peace talks broken down, the ceasefire was shattered, with both sides struggling for domination of the island. This struggle would see brutal combat, with the AFL running bombing runs of the island, pretty much eradicating the island itself. When it seemed it would never end, on December 29th, 1910 BCS, secret peace talks had come out with the Partition of Peten K'uhul, declaring a ceasefire, and resulted in a peace treaty that ended the war.
