Major History

This is a list of some of the major events in Vivaria

## 18th Century

### Expansion of Aqan and Bactrian Crisis

In the late 17th and early 18th centuries, the nation of Aqan began to expand very quickly. Threatened by this, the United Democratic Amerigonian Nations intervened and attacked the Azanian nation of Bactria, expecting no significant resistance. However, Bactria fiercely resisted, and Aqan became one of many nations that expressed concern over the actions of UDAN, citing imperialism.

In a speech by Aqan,
it was stated that "It has come to the attention of Aqan that the sovereignty and international security of Asia is under grave threat by the ever growing ambitions of the american imperialist states. We however do not base this claim in sheer conjecture, this is an objective truth. The situation is worrying in Pacifica as the state has undergone a regime change from an empire to a military junta, a deeply concerning sign. More so concerning is that they have build up an international alliance to further their imperialistic ambitions. The american alliance [UDAN] is an imperialist body that serves to bend the world to the will of the americans. This is most clearly seen in the recent war with Bactria. The nation of Bactria was an entirely neutral body before the war, having yet to even present themselves on the world stage, however this neutrality did not prevent Pacifica from starting a war of colonization and then roping in their American allies for the partition of the state And though they outwardly presented the partition as a "forced loan" this is not revealing of their full intentions, as information suggests that their original plan was not only the full partition of the state and dissolution of Bactria, but also further expansion into continental Asia."

Bactria eventually fell, with most of the territory becoming colonies of UDAN states. However, this became a region of significant tension. Issues relating to Bactria would continue to cause tension for years, and play a role in the Great War.

### European Tariffs and the Great War

As the 18th century continued, tensions from Bactria continued to mount. European and Amerikan relations, which had never been exceptionally warm, worsened when the Portalejan Regental Imperium put a significant tariffs on Amerikan goods, except for on those from Pacifica, with the rule that Pacifica can not enter into direct conflict with Portalejos. At the same time, the Indo-Pacific Sphere, formed in the wake of the Bactria crisis, was expanding. The tariffs would begin to destroy the economy of the American National State, forcing them to declare war on Portalejos. Aqan and the IPS would intervene, siding with Portalejos. The Cheyennine Empire, fearing a significant European colonial presence in Amerika, declared war on the ANS to occupy land before Europa could. However, during the war, Portalejos claimed that Cheyennia attacked their fleet, and declared war on them. Pacifica, in a desperate attempt to survive, stayed neutral, and tried to join the Long dynasty. Asakia, taking note of this, tried to force them into a deal to give up their colonies, but this wouldn't go through in this form. Pacifica and Aqan would make a deal that Aqan would take most of Pacifica's Alaskan lands, and its Azanian Colonies would be divided, but no harm would come to Pacifica's core territories and Pacifica would become an IPP protectorate. The Ngit State would join on the side of its UDAN allies, and would later be attacked by Hiskuntinsuyu. The ANS would see the American Military Order rebel, and the ANS would fall. A treaty would be signed that Portalejos would take parts of the AMO land, and that front would end. Cheyennia would have to take a similar deal to Pacifica, giving up its Azanian Colonies, as well as portions of Africa (To the Atsi Empire), but would stay fully independent. The Ngit front would be left to Hiskuntinsuyu, and this front would continue even though the war had officially ended. The Ngit State will eventually fall into anarchy, with Pacifica, Hiskuntinsuyu, Bactria and Cheyennia gaining land from it. The ANS, which had been restored, was given a Yutacan Vassal, and Pacifica would take the rest as a vassal called the New Mayan Republic. This would see the great war end on all fronts.

### After the Great War

After the war, the UDAN states would be some of the most aggressive in the colonization of Afrikania. However, they would do it as part of an act of international cooperation, with no colonial wars to date. In Azania, Bactria also has regained all of its land and is consolidating its gains, while Aqan and the Atsi Empire began colonising different areas around the world too.
