## History

### Founding of Azkaria

Azkaria was founded in 1983 after the collapse of Gerzonia by a coalition led by the League of Nations due to Gernozian war crimes in Komi during the Gerzonian-Komian war. Azkaria was quickly made a government and "elected" a president and congress where the Azkarian Progressive Party took power.

### Jiyanese Bombing of Ex-Gerzoina

After getting itself stable, the country of Ijian demanded that Azkaria and the rest of the Ex-Gernozian nations were to submit under Ijian's control. The Ex-Gerzonian nations refused Ijian's demands and so Ijian in response began bombing campaigns in all of the Ex-Gerzonian nations. It was reported that over 6,000 people died during this. Azkarian President Slobodan Polyakov ordered the rebuilding of Azkaria after the bombings ended.

### Formation of the Gerzonia League

Shortly after the Jiyanese Bombing of Ex-Gerzonia, the countries of Galista, Azkaria, and Tekan formed a military and economic alliance called the Gerzonia League in 1983.

### Involvement in the Second Arkashin Civil War

Azkaria's involvement in the Second Arkashin Civil War was strategic bombings as the Azkarian government sided with the Arkashin government. in the end, however, the pro-Gerzonia rebels won the war as it ended in 1984.

### First and Second Gerzonian War

Azkaria in the First Gerzonian War had minimum involvement by sending volunteer units to Galista which was being invaded by Mafasan and Arkasha. In the Second Gerzonian War against Krdorgia, Azkaria played a great role in the war by doing strategic bombings in Krdorgia and the infamous battle of Jumalo where Azkaria took a major victory against Krdorgia.

### Tekan War

In 1989 Tekan, one of the Gernozian League's founders was under civil war by Barathist Extremists and Fascists that wanted total control of the country. Azkaria at first sent volunteer units and humanitarian aid to Tekan, however due to the Barathist Extremists crashing a hijacked plane into a Seddish Skyscraper, Azkaria quickly entered the war to end it as soon as possible before the Seddish arrived, however, when Azkaria and Gernozian League members were too late as Seddish tanks and infantry fighting vehicles began landing. The country of Tekan then was taken over by Sedland and installed a puppet government which led to another rebellion by the former government of Tekan with the Gernozian League members (Arkashan and Galista), with Abasian support getting involved with this. In the end, Azkaria as well as the Gernozian League successfully liberated Tekan from Seddish control as Sedland was forced to retreat from Tekan, leaving some of their equipment behind which Azkaria and other Gernozian League members took and successfully reversed-engineered the Seddish Equipment. To this day Azkaria sees this as a major upset to the Seddish as it is a national holiday in Azkaria.
