## History

### Colonial Era (1712 - 1804)

In the early 18th century saw the arrival of colonial powers prominently the Dutch and Corusconians. The Dutch settled in Magayon in 1712 and establishing trading posts along the country's southwestern coast. Later in 1738, the Corusconian arrived on mainland Osho in the form of the Corusconian Far Eastern Company which colonised Ubizieten. Fearing colonisation, the country have decided to quickly modernise and adapt to the presence of colonial powers. However at the same time, the country was still disunited and fractured as multiple small nations. An ambitious local king, King Ama ni Fara, who ruled the Farayag Kedatuans, rapidly modernised with guns and canons and went on a rapid spree of submitting the relatively weaker neighbours. Starting in 1748, the country began to slowly unite and the king gained many allies along the way.

Fearing a more modernised enemy to the east, the Corusconians have reacted with force invading Magayon in 1794. The Corusconians advanced rapidly into western Magayon taking over many coastal cities and settling Corusconians there. The natives resisted the Corusconian rule in the region and the country managed to defeat the Corusconians in 1803 after 9 years of war. The war brought the region together and formed the Confederated Kingdom of Magayon despite the death of Ama ni Fara following the war.

However, war did not end there. Just as the war ended, the Trimainians took advantage of the weakened state and invaded Magayon in 1803. The newly formed government were unable to defend this time and the two countries settled on a peace agreement the following year in 1804. The Treaty of Madrina gave Trimainia Port Jacque in exchange for modernised weapons, natural resources and an alliance. The alliance lasted till today and Trimainia remains a close trade partner.
