**The Great Northern War,** also known as the Easter War, was a military conflict which took place in the year 273 ACS, involving 7 countries in total, making it the biggest war until the Great War in 308 ACS.

## War Context

### Justifications

New Illinois participated in the Tyre Accords to take down the Tretarchy of Allah, and after it conflict with Moravia, the same joined Carthage and New Illinois annexed the northern areas of Moravia, thus ending the conflict. Not long after the reunification of Tangier, Prague and Brazilian send an ultimatum to New Illinois to return the annexed lands, even though the land was promised to them in the accords.

New Brittany tried to buy the northern areas of Gallia, which were undeveloped. Carthage refused this offer, making New Brittany align agaisnt them. in the same year, Americana proposed a secret alliance with both of them, in order to expel the Acreans and Carthaginians from the continent, then being able to exert it's influence in the whole region.

By these reasons, the Kovir Pact was formed, and started it preparations to war against Carthage, which eventually broke out in 273 ACS.

## The War

### Phase I: Allied Offensive

Americana ordered Pacc to declare war to Carthage, and after that, declared war himself, starting the Great Northern War.

#### Sack of Acre

Pixel and Americana quickly moved into Acrean soil and start to raze it, by putting fire to buildings and blowing up several houses, however that unorganized action led to many failures, such as Adelnoor being able to respawn and tpa the rest of Carthage to Acre.

#### Breton Naval War

New Guam was quickly taken and set on fire. Following this, the Bretons invaded Gallia, and later on, moved by sea to Tangier, but they didn't stay there long, as the Carthaginians started naval invasion of New Chicago, beginning the second phase of the war.

### Phase II: Carthaginian Counter-offensive

#### Battle of New Chicago

The Carthaginians landed in New Chicago, and quickly seized the city, which was only defended by Pacc. Novigradian forces arrived soon, however, and they encircled the Carthaginians, who attempted to retreat to the sea, but were quickly eliminated by the allied forces. The Battle ended in a decisive Allied Victory.

#### Invasion of Novigrad

After the Carthaginian defeat at New Chicago, the allies planned on conquering Hispania and Nova Carthago, but their plans had to be postponed, as the Carthaginians started an invasion of Novigrad from Acre. The Allied Forces quickly retreat back to Novigrad in an attempt to intercept the Carthaginian invasion force, and manage to pursue the invading forces into the city of Novigrad itself.

The Allied forces organize and pursue the Carthaginians in to Dunluce Castle, the seat of government of the Republic. Neim managed to blow up the first floors of the castle, but the Carthaginians are soon driven out of the castle, and the last one, Kaisaras, flee into the other side of the walls. The Allies forces win the battle, but the castle and city remain damaged.

### Peace Negotiations

After the bombing of Dunluce Castle, Americana decided to sue for peace, and a short conference took place in the second floor of the Castle, which ended with the Treaty of Cumania, with the main articles being:

- New Brittany annexea Gallia.

- Novigrad cedes continental Kovir to New Illinois.

- Acre gets independence from Carthage.

- Dissolution of the Kovir Pact.

- 30 years truce between all nations.
