Conquering of Kaminaki Empire and freedom given to all its colonies

The Ko-Kaminaki War was a war that caused the end of the Dynastic Era in Charkao. It also marked the downfall of the Kaminaki Empire. The two belligerents were the Kaminaki Empire and the Charkaonese Democratic Republic (Abbreviated as the CDR). It is generally said to have began on the 6th of August 1778, during the riots in Jeyong. The Riots were organised by an outlawed Democratic Paramilitary. The Party's members were descendants of the Medieval Goutudi Oligarchy and the vast majority of South Charkao residents wanted a Democratic Republic and to be free of a totalitarian monarchy. The most famous of the riots was the nicknamed 'Ferocious February Riots', in which the Karazou Castle was broken into and raided for a base and for weapons. The Castle mostly had Swords and Bows but there was an armour of guns that were either confiscated from civilians or stored from previous Dynasties. The Jeyong Shogun was then taken captive by the Rioters and publically executed via Lingchi, also known as death by a thousand cuts. The Shogun was tied to a post and slowly had portions of flesh and muscle cut off, exposing his skeleton. Upon his death, he would be decapitated. This may seem cruel but it was actually extremely ironic as the Jeyong Shogun voted for the execution method to stay legal, causing thousands to meet a terrifying fate. The Region of Jeyong was officially captured and the Charkaonese Democratic Republic declared their independence on the 13th of June 1789. The Emperor at the time, Bai Kaminaki, was irritated but he wanted peace and decided not to retaliate.

Peace then came to Charkao, for the first time in hundreds of years, but it didn't last long as Cheng Kaminaki became Emperor in 1790, vowing to destroy any signs of Democracy in Charkao. The CDR became good allies with the First Sweatingradian Republic and the Minted Empire in aims of backup if they are invaded. Unfortunately, their suspicions were right, and the CDR was invaded by Kaminaki Soldiers in December 1795. Luckily, Goutudi had built a giant wall around their borders when they fought the Zhao Dynasty and the wall would do a great job of keeping the Samurai from slaughtering everyone in the country. The Cannons did a great job of holding them off, but it seemed like there was an infinite amount of soldiers and eventually, 4 years later, a major breakthrough at the wall had happened and thousands upon thousands of Kaminaki's were flooding in. Assistance requests were sent to Sweatingrad and Minted Island but help would arrive years later due to the two countries fighting each other at the time. The War went slowly and even after 20 years neither the Kaminaki Empire or the CDR were clearly winning.

The Democrats used Guerilla Warfare ambushing Kaminaki military patrols and using their knowledge of the land to their advantage. Even groups of civilians would rebel against the Kaminakis, burning down key buildings and boycotting services that would give them military funding. Cheng Kaminaki was assassinated via gunshot in 1822 and his body recieved a public Lingchi. This was photographed and printed all over the Kaminaki Empire by the CDR, to scare citizens into betraying the Kaminakis. The tables finally turned after that, due to the inauguration of Eiji Kaminaki, the timid son of Cheng. Eiji was a terrible leader due to him being unhappy about becoming Emperor. Along with that, a plague known as the Eylun Flu spread across Northern Charkao, being almost as deadly as the Bubonic Plague. The Eylun Flu killed millions of Kaminaki Soldiers, greatly reducing the empire's military might. Eiji was also terrible in war tactics, calling a retreat from the CDR. The leader of the CDR at the time, Akin Miyazaki, took the opportunity and ordered a counter invasion.

By 1838, the CDR grew bigger than the Kaminaki Empire. The Empire also lost the majority of their colonies, reducing their power and size even more. Eiji Kaminaki was even killed by the Eylun Flu. Emon Ko then came to power in 1838. Emon was an expert war tactician and he lead the CDR to victory. Then 1869 came, and the Kaminaki Empire had shrunk down to Paruzuma. Unluckily for the CDR, Paruzuma was the Kaminaki Empire's core and location of most Kaminaki soldiers. The city was also surrounded by a large wall, preventing an easy conquering of it. Even after years of relentless attacking on the city, it still wouldn't crack. This stayed the case until 1878, when the Minted Empire and Sweatingrad had finally decided to fight the Kaminaki Empire. The three Armies surrounded the city stronghold of Paruzuma and chose to reign all hell upon the Kaminaki Empire. The city could only endure so much, and after 3 years of mortar and cannon fire raining down upon the Paruzuma, the Kaminaki Empire surrendered and Paruzuma was taken and their Empress, Kondi Kaminaki was executed the way the war began, via a death by a thousand cuts.
