Jetzeburg siege

The Jetzeburg siege wa a three-week campaign launched on the Jetzeburg province, and the eponymous city of Jetzeburg, both located in Jonathia. Canadia's effortless invasion of Jonathia had proved fruitful up to that point, but a miscalculation as to the geography of the Jetzeburg province proved the siege a turning point in the Great War. Following Jonathia's victory in the siege, morale on the Allies' side soared. In response, as they withdrawed, Canadia activated a scorched-earth policy, destroying the territory within Jetzeburg's borders.
The siege was sparked with Canadia's invasion of Jonathia during the Great War. On May 11th, 1941, the Jonathian defences had been pushed back to their western provinces. With the support of the military, civilians were permitted to assist in the defence of Jetzeburg, as the Jonathian government was scared that should Canadia win, then a massacre on the scale of which Jonathia had performed on Canadia itself during the First Battle of Barkhamstead, among other Canadish towns, would be performed on the young, fledgling state.
Jonathia held out for three full weeks. During that timeframe, Canadia calculated it's battleplans, and realized that the geography would be too coarse to warrant their original plans. Canadia instead opted to demolish said landscape, an action which would never actually be undertaken. The frontline remained stationery until June 6th, 1941, when a Canadish commander, Lt. Timothy Simpson, betrayed the Canadish by leaking to Jonathia the plans for invasion. With the support of the Albo-Corbarian Empire, Jonathia managed to sneak behind the Canadish lines, sabotaging them from behind. The Canadish military ordered a full withdrawal, and the Canadish were chased back over the next four years to what is now the modern day borders between the Jonathian province of Lolland, and the Canadish region of South Canadia.
