History of Krev's World War

The History of Krev's World War is very intricate despite being a comparitively young canvas. This is a place to record it.

## Ancient Period

At the start of the canvas (10.29.2020 and onwards) it was focused around Europe, and places such as the Americas were left untouched. This would have an impact later. Empires such as that of Ireland and Germany would rise.

## Colonisation Period

During this period more empty space began to be colonised. The face of the modern canvas began to form, with nations such as Potato, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Croatia and China all being formed. Some other major nations during this period were Texas, France and Oklahoma, but those later declined. GRIC also arrived in the canvas.

## First Coalition Period

This could be considered the beginning of the Modern Era. It begins with the first GRIC invasion of Australia and subsequent formation of the anti-GRIC alliance formed by Croatia and Indonesia/Aceh. During this period the last swathes of empty land in Canada were taken by the Holy Trollface Empire and the Potato Empire in order to stop GRIC expansion there. Various attempts were made to invade GRIC's land, most notably in Alaska, but also in Siberia and Russia. All these failed. As it became clear that GRIC was not going away, various formerly loyal players such as MattyJelly and Hipsmeister noticed flaws and left, and while Anti-GRIC never officially disbanded as the vote failed, it effectively was inactive. The vote was the official end to the First Coalition Period.

## Inter-Coalition Period

This is a very short period, and not much of note happened here. Rather, hostilities slowly dropped between GRIC and the former nations of Anti-GRIC. To replace anti-GRIC an alliace called The United Powers (TUP). Inactive nations such as China became colonised in a sort of second wave of colonisation, but it was much smaller than the first one. The period was to end sooner than expected, when Xiao arrived and kickstarted the Second Coalition Period.

## Second Coalition Period

The second Coalition started with the player Xiao and a friend of his Fukkeu they founded a Anti TUP alliance which quickly took down the GGCR and own most of Europe, the brought two more players to there head, one being Awildnoob. Meanwhile most of the TUP players were offline, allowing for there success. Only when the Anti-TUP members where offline the GGCR and other small nation where able to take Europe back. After the Xiao nations were wiped out, TUP focused on an ally of it, the HTFE. They invaded it, and it took a while, but eventually they took Trollface Quebec. They marched onward, towards their mainland, but as the HTFE stopped fighting and tried to reason with TUP, they eventually stopped. So who won the Second Coalition? Not really anyone. Xiao was uncontained like GRIC in the first, but he didn't expand, and HTFE was contained. TUP made no major gains and entering the Decay Period they pretty much ceased to exist as an important alliance.

## Decay Period

After the invasion of Trollface not much happened. TUP and Anti-TUP were in a deadlock, and with no more colonies, people were forced to war. But they didn't. Xiao barely did anything and other players such as CarnationCap and MattyJelly did nothing either. The result was a decay. People began leaving. Some went to Drew. Some went to MVP. But they were all leaving one by one. Action had to happen. Krev decided that the only way to rejuvenate the server was a reset. Krev with help of other users made the entire canvas white starting at Europe. The reason why they couldn't just reset it was because of the Art Zone, which would suffer greatly from a reset.

## Rejuvenation Period

After the reset Krev went on an advertising rampage like he did during the Colonisation Period to try and get players back on. It worked. The Decay Period was a scar on the canvas, but it was healing. New nations were formed, such as the Gokturks, the United African States (UAS), Portugal, and the Hunnic Empire. GRIC at first was small but soon got back into play and had a very different role to the Coalition Periods. No major alliances were formed during this period and of course this made a golden age with common wars and even after the entire canvas was colonised countries continued to grow and shrink.

## Pre-V3 Period

It is hard to know when this began, but there was a change in culture. The frequent wars slowed down, and people became chill. Players went online, they found there was nothing to, then left. The occasional empire popped up, but it would just crumble in the night. This sounds eerily similar to the Decay Period, and normally you would be right, this is a decay period. But then Krev left. Krev was of course the founder of the canvas, and his departure seemed permanent. Krev gave ownership to Owmince, who in turn gave it to Ghello, another PixelPlace mod. Ghello quickly updated the server's rules. Now while Krev was the master of advertising, being a PP mod also gives you certain powers. Ghello put Krev's World War on the featured section of canvases, and soon he started a reset. V3 was coming.
