Toledo War

The Toledo War was a territorial dispute between Michigancube and OhioRawr.
==History==
It all started when USAball was looking to expand it's claims and maybe massacre a few natives here and there. Eventually, they reached the Mid-Western states, and it was here that they established Northwest Territoryball, a long territorial goverment that streatched from present day OhioRawr to North Minnesota. Now, in the American Goverment Territories aren't supposed to stay territories for long. Usually, a territory is just a way to establish the land and give it a cause, and then once it has one it's off to statehood. Anyway, as these states started getting established, the Union wanted them to have fair and equal borders. When establishing Ohio Country', they decided to make a border that went from the bottom of lake Michigan in the west, to the bottom of lake Erie in the east. North of this line would be the future state of Michigancube and south of this line would be the future state of OhioRawr (Also Indianaball). However, the cartographers who drew the map didn't do the best. Some maps showed Ohio getting Michigan's coast of lake Erie. Some even showed OhioRawr getting present day Detroitball. During the Ohio Constitutional Convention, a fur trader said that the Ohio-Michigan Border was actually much more south than everyone said it was. In fact, it was so south that it blocked off a crucial waterway for OhioRawr, the Maumee River. The Ohians were freaked out and pushed their border north of the Maumee river, in hopes that the federal government wouldn't notice when Ohio was admitted as a state in 1803. The plan was all good except for the problem that people did notice. While surveying the southern area of Michigan, they found that the border was in fact, north of the Maumee River. However, the Government thought that it would just sort itself out, and they didn't intervene for a while. Finnally, a guy went overthere and concluded that the border which gave OhioRawr the town of Toledo ( Toledoball is a town at the mouth of the Maumee river) was the correct one. The problem was, the guy might of been a bit biased because he was the former governor of OhioRawr, so Michigancube was gonna put up a fight. Several survey's took place, each with different results. For a while, every one kind of forgot about and the Toledo Strip remained quite peaceful until December 11, 1833. That was when Michigan wanted to become a state. OhioRawr was like nope, not unless you agree to our border. Michigancube got mad and sent Militia down to Toledoball. This was the begining of the Toledo War. Ohio responded by sending Ohio Militia Groups. Meanwhile, Michigancube had taken over the town of Toledo, and it was mostly under their control. OhioRawr did not advance on the town however, and so a stalemate took place. There wasn't actually any battles in the war, except for The Battle of Philips Corner, which no casualties happened. The whole war got the attention of USAball, and shut it down, giving The Toledo Strip to OhioRawr because Michigancube wasn't willing to cooperate.
