The World War

## Background

### 1895

In 1895, a poor state of Srerbro-Gandia (currently an eastern part of the Potupan Kingdom, Srebrian and Gandian prefectures respectively) attacked an enclave of Egnerswang in Rossandia with a goal to occupy the local coal deposits. At the end of the war that lasted for 70 days and of which the governor of Rossandia had no will to take a part, Egnerswang gained the victory. Defeated Srerbro-Gandia was split into two parts: People's Republics of Srebria and Gandia.

### 1897

In 1897, Terkyara, at that time being a part of the Free Union (Shtyrshovia, Kandenat and hyper-religious Al Kristo) offered both republics to join the union. PRS immediatly agreed, while PRG desided to hold a referendum, in the result of which the idea failed. The civil unrests in PRS after joining split it into three independednt republics: Krvonian, Dakatian and Slatian.

The king of Potupan recieved the evidence that the Great Chief of Terkyara have been funding the divide in Srerbro-Gandia in 1896 and declared war on Terkyara.

### 1898

A conflict arose between People's Republics of Dakatia, Slatia and Gandia, because the coal imported from the latter was too expensive and of poor quality. The conflict has not been resolved.

During the war between Potupan and Terkyara, the Demoratic Federation of Rossandia decided to support Potupan. The war lasted for two years. The Free Union was insisting on falsifying the evidences and supported Terkyara. The members of the union won, and Rossandia lost two of it's islands that were rich in precious metals, while Potupan lost all of it's northern parts with coal deposits.

### 1941

Potupan attacked the Vadarian county of Gandia, wishing to take the second part of the divided depisits. Gandia lost the Vadarian county, along with the Mirsk one.

Meanwhile, Al Kristo was making claims to Rossandia that it wanted to return the historical values of it's people. Rossandia agreed to give up only a part of those values. The Union did not support the claims of Al Kristo and sent spies that were supposed to steal the values from the Great Museum in Rossandia. This failed, and the spies were caught and executed. The infuriated citizens of Al Kristo overthrew the government, and the opposition took it's place.

Rossandia "shouted" all over the continent in the form of the king Saul III publishing a statement in which he specified that such strifes near the borders will not be tolerated, as they may affect the well-being of the citizens. After that, everything went quiet for 7 years.

### 1942-1949

Temaso-Duidian county of Gandia willingly became a part of the Krvonian Republic. Thus, Gandia completely disappeared from the world map. Al Kristo left the Union. Terkyara followed it's example, and the Free Union fell. Shtyrshovia and Kandenat created a confederation with a single currency and open borders. The confederation existed for 5 years, after which it fused into a single state, Likerat. Peoples of both countries spoke the same language even before that.

### 1954

After the election, a fascist regime was established in Egnerswang. The new governor decided to regain control over Potupan and Moa, that was lost 78 years ago during a civil war.

Potupan and Rossandia sent a peacekeeping group to Egnerswang that consisted of scientists, politicians, religious leaders and representatives of other sectors of society. An accident (mudflow) caused the death of all group members. Both countries were blaming Egnerswang for this.

On the 7th day of the 9th month, war was declared on Egnerswang.
