Tancian Aclad War

### **The Tancian and Acladian War**

The war between Tancia and Aclad began on July 5th 1995, following the Aclad invasion of the West Tancian Industrial District.

## Events of The War:

### Invasion of West Industrial District

On July 5th 1995, the Acladian armed forces invaded Tancia's economic capital, specifically targeting the Industrial District. The attack was in retaliation for Tancia's role in the Second Great War and Aclad's subsequent punishment following their defeat. The invaders killed many Tancian workers for not cooperating with them and looted a significant amount of materials from the district.

This invasion on Tancia happened because a large majority of the Acladian people saw that the land they lost following the Second Great War, should be theirs once again. Their first target of countries who were apart of the council that decided on punishments for the losing side of the war was Tancia. They picked Tancia because they saw Tancia’s leader as an incompetent fool who couldn’t run a country at the best of times. So if they started a war with Tancia, they would easily give up because of their weak leader.During the invasion, over 5000 workers were killed because of the ruthlessness of the Acladian soldiers. The Acladian soldiers stole lots of materials worth millions of Tancian Dollars.

### The Battle For West Tancia

In response to the Acladian invasion of Tancia's West Industrial District, the Tancian government deployed an estimated 100,000 soldiers to the region to repel the invaders. The military action was a massive undertaking, involving extensive planning and coordination among various branches of the armed forces.The battle for West Tancia was fierce and prolonged, with both sides engaging in intense combat for a period of two months. Tancian soldiers fought valiantly, defending their homeland with everything they had, but the Acladian forces were well-armed and well-trained, making it a difficult and bloody conflict.

The fighting was brutal, with both sides suffering significant casualties. The Tancian soldiers were determined to protect their country and pushed back the invaders as much as possible. They had to withstand a constant barrage of attacks, which took a toll on both their physical and mental health.After two months of intense fighting, the Acladian forces reportedly left the West Tancia region, leaving behind a ravaged and destroyed landscape. The Tancian military emerged victorious but at a great cost. The conflict had claimed the lives of many brave soldiers, and the damage inflicted on the area was significant.

### The Assassination of Marco Crawford

Following their retreat from the West Tancia region, the Acladian forces regrouped and set their sights on North Tancia, where the capital city was located. The city was home to the Tancian President, Marco Crawford, and was a key strategic location in the ongoing conflict.Tensions were high as the Acladian soldiers established a presence in the area, and the Tancian government knew that they needed to take decisive action to protect their leader and their country. However, despite their best efforts, tragedy struck on November 16th, 1995, when President Crawford was assassinated while walking on a public street to a nearby pub.

The assassination of the Tancian President was a devastating blow to the country and was seen as a full declaration of war by the Acladian forces. The Tancian people were outraged and demanded that their government take immediate action to retaliate against the invaders.

### Invasion of Arcron

Following the assassination of Tancian President Marco Crawford, the government wasted no time in responding with military force. Tancian troops were mobilized and sent into Aclad, determined to bring the fight to the enemy.The Tancian soldiers made their way to Arcron, the capital city of Aclad, a journey that took them two days by car. Once they arrived, they quickly went on the offensive, launching a series of attacks on key targets throughout the city.The Tancian soldiers were well-trained and well-equipped, and they quickly gained the upper hand in the conflict. They captured numerous politicians and buildings that were crucial to the workings of the Acladian government, dealing a significant blow to the enemy's ability to function effectively.

The fighting in Arcron was intense and brutal, with both sides suffering heavy losses. However, the Tancian soldiers remained steadfast and determined, pushing forward in their mission to bring justice to those responsible for the assassination of their president.The capture of Arcron was a significant turning point in the conflict between Tancia and Aclad, and it demonstrated the strength and resolve of the Tancian military. Despite the many challenges they faced, the soldiers remained focused on their mission, and their actions helped to bring an end to the war and restore peace to the region.

### Air Bombing of Aclad

The escalating tensions between Tancia and Aclad had reached a breaking point, and on December 3rd, 1995, the situation finally boiled over. In response to previous events in the war, the Tancian military launched a massive aerial attack, with 400 bombers taking to the skies over Aclad and other major cities.The attack was a coordinated effort, with Tancian forces targeting key military and strategic locations throughout the country. The goal was to deal a devastating blow to the Acladian military, and to weaken their ability to continue the fight.

The bombing campaign was intense and prolonged, with Tancian bombers dropping a relentless barrage of explosives on the enemy below. The Acladian military fought back fiercely, unleashing their own air defenses in an attempt to push back the Tancian assault.Despite the fierce resistance, the Tancian bombers continued their onslaught, unleashing wave after wave of destruction on their targets. The skies above Aclad were filled with smoke and fire, as the two sides engaged in a brutal and bloody battle.By the time the attack had finally ended, the damage had been catastrophic. Countless buildings and infrastructure had been destroyed, and many lives had been lost.

### The Burning of Tancian Political Building

The conflict between Tancia and Aclad continued to rage on, with each side resorting to increasingly brutal and desperate measures. On January 5th, 1996, the Acladian soldiers launched a brazen attack on the Tancian political building, setting it ablaze in a devastating fire.The attack was a shocking act of aggression, even by the standards of the brutal war. Acladian forces had targeted the heart of Tancian political power, aiming to strike a decisive blow and weaken the resolve of the Tancian people.As the flames engulfed the building, chaos erupted in the streets outside. Tancian soldiers and civilians alike fought back against the invading forces, determined to protect their homeland and their way of life.Despite the valiant efforts of the Tancian defenders, the Acladian soldiers proved to be too strong. They pushed through the streets with ruthless efficiency, leaving a trail of destruction and devastation in their wake.In the end, the Tancian political building was destroyed, reduced to a smoldering pile of rubble and ash.

### Battle of Simatua

The Battle of Simatua was a critical moment in the Tancia-Aclad War, representing a turning point in the long and brutal conflict.

On May 12th, 1996, Tancian forces clashed with Acladian troops in the small village of Simatua, a strategic location that held great importance for both sides.The battle was fierce and intense, with both sides throwing everything they had into the fight. For hours, the village was consumed by gunfire, explosions, and the screams of the wounded and dying.As the day wore on, it became clear that the Tancian forces were gaining the upper hand. They had managed to hold off the Acladian advance, pushing the invading army back and reclaiming territory that had been lost.

For the people of Tancia, the victory at Simatua was a moment of hope and triumph in a war that had been marked by despair and defeat. It showed that they were capable of standing up to their oppressors and defending their homeland with courage and determination.For the Acladian forces, however, the battle was a crushing blow. It represented a major setback in their campaign to conquer Tancia, forcing them to rethink their strategy and regroup for the fight ahead.

### The Naval Blockade of Aclad

With this move, Tancian naval ships effectively shut down all export of Aclad's resources, including oil, minerals, and other key commodities.The blockade had an immediate impact on Acladian economy, crippling its ability to finance its war efforts and putting a strain on its already limited resources. The Acladian government was forced to ration supplies and increase taxes to keep the country afloat, causing widespread hardship and discontent among its citizens.

For Tancia, the blockade was a crucial tactic in their fight against Aclad, helping to weaken the enemy and limit its ability to wage war. However, the move also had significant economic repercussions for Tancia, as the country had relied heavily on Acladian resources for its own development.The blockade lasted for several months, with Tancian naval ships patrolling the waters around Aclad to ensure that no exports could slip through.

### Air Bombing of Tancia

In a desperate move to turn the tide of the war, the Acladian Air Force began to replicate a tactic used earlier in the war by the Tancian Air Force.Acladian planes flew over Tancia and dropped hundreds of bombs across various cities and towns, causing widespread destruction and loss of life.The bombings were a shock to the Tancian people and military, who had not expected such a drastic escalation in the conflict. The bombings also drew condemnation from the international community, with several countries calling for an end to the war and a peaceful resolution to the conflict.

Tancian authorities immediately deployed ground troops and anti-aircraft defenses to counter the bombings, but the Acladian Air Force continued to launch bombing raids for several weeks. The bombings caused significant damage to Tancia's infrastructure and economy, with many factories and businesses destroyed, and tens of thousands of people displaced. The Tancian military eventually developed a successful countermeasure to the bombings, using advanced radar and air defense systems to track and shoot down Acladian planes. With this countermeasure in place, the Acladian bombings slowly began to decrease in frequency and intensity.

### The Battle for Aclad Capital, Arcron

The Tancian soldiers fought fiercely against the Acladian forces in the Battle for Aclad Capital, Arcron. They knew that if they could capture the city, they could potentially end the war. The battle was intense and lasted for several months, with both sides suffering heavy casualties. The Acladian forces had a strong advantage due to their familiarity with the terrain and their well-organized defenses.

However, the Tancian soldiers were determined to succeed and continued to push forward, gradually gaining ground. They used their superior weaponry and tactical skills to break through the Acladian defenses, causing chaos among their ranks. After months of intense fighting, the Tancian forces finally succeeded in capturing Arcron.

### Death of Acladian President, Benjamin Halaco

During the Battle for Arcron, as the Tancian forces were gaining ground and inching closer to the presidential palace, a group of highly skilled Tancian marines managed to infiltrate the palace undetected. They were on a mission to capture the Acladian president, Benjamin Halaco, who had started the war and was responsible for the countless lives lost.As the marines made their way through the palace, they encountered fierce resistance from the Acladian soldiers who were guarding the president. However, the Tancian marines were highly trained and equipped with the latest weapons and tactics, and they managed to outsmart and overpower the guards.

Eventually, they reached the president's chambers, where they found Halaco hiding in a secret room. A brief firefight ensued, but the Tancian marines emerged victorious. And a few minutes later, the Tancian Marines left the palace with Halaco's body.

### Induction of New Aclad President, Lincoln Bandor

After the death of Benjamin Halaco, the Acladian government was thrown into disarray. A new president, Lincoln Bandor, was quickly appointed to take his place. Bandor was not a military man, but a businessman with close ties to the Acladian economic elite. His appointment was seen as a sign that Aclad was willing to negotiate an end to the war.

However, despite his efforts to broker a peace deal with Tancia, the fighting continued. Both sides were deeply entrenched, with Tancian troops holding much of Aclad and Acladian forces dug in along the border. Bandor found it difficult to make any progress in negotiations, as both sides remained steadfast in their positions. Bandor's time in office has remained the shortest running leader of Aclad, being in office for only two months.

### Ten Day Siege of Acladian Presidential Building

After the induction of Bandor, Tancian marines infiltrated the building where Bandor was based. During the siege, it was discovered that Bandor had plans of dropping nuclear bombs on major Tancian cities, which would result in an ultimate Aclad victory. However, this did not go through because the entire compound was ransacked and all information about the nuclear warheads were purged from any documents.

### Aclad Surrender

Following the destruction of the compound and the killing of top Acladian officials, including the president, Bandor, the Acladian government was left in disarray. The remaining leaders quickly realized that they could not continue fighting a losing war and began seeking a way to end the conflict.After several rounds of negotiations, a treaty was finally signed between Tancia and Aclad on February 20th, 1998, officially bringing an end to the war. Under the treaty, Aclad agreed to pay reparations to Tancia for the damages caused during the war and to permanently demilitarize a portion of its border with Tancia.

## Consequences of The War

### Bandor Killed by Nationalist Aclad Group

After he signed the peace treaty, Bandor was highly looked down upon by most of the Acladian people because of their nationalistic views and his surrender had disgraced their country like they were at the end of The Second Great War. An extremist nationalist group based in Arcron, killed Bandor in a drive by shooting at night when he was walking home.

### Nationalist Group get their man in power, Hans Lanski

Because of the death of the president, Aclad held its second election in only a few months. The nationalist group used their far reach to get their leader into power as the new president. Even without the interference of the party, Lanski got lots of votes from the parts of Aclad society who believed lots of his views.

### Lanski introduces new currency

One of Lanski’s first actions as president was to get rid of the current currency and instead use the currency that was used before the loss of The Second Great War.

### The New Aclad Government

After Lanski's success in changing the currency, he began to feel empowered and believed that he could make further changes to the government of the country. He gathered a group of military officers who were loyal to him and began to plan a military coup. The coup was staged in the middle of the night when the current government officials were sleeping. The loyal military officers entered the government buildings and arrested the officials who were not part of Lanski's party.With the current government out of the way, Lanski and his nationalist party were able to make decisions without any opposition. They began to pass laws that limited the freedom of speech and the press. Anyone who spoke out against the government was arrested and put on trial. The new government became increasingly authoritarian and oppressive.

However, not everyone was happy with Lanski's actions. There were many who believed that the coup was illegal and that the government was becoming too powerful. Protests began to erupt all over the country, with people demanding that the government step down and that a new democratic government be established.Lanski responded to these protests by cracking down even harder. He sent in the military to break up the protests and arrested anyone who spoke out against the government. The country became increasingly divided, with Lanski's supporters on one side and those who opposed him on the other.Despite the opposition, Lanski continued to push forward with his agenda. He began to align the country more closely with other authoritarian regimes around the world and increased military spending. The country was on the brink of a civil war, with the government and the opposition becoming increasingly hostile towards each other.
