First Islands War

**The First Islands War**

The First Islands War was a war fought between the North Caribbean Provisional Government and the United Kingdom from 1854-1861. The North Caribbean Provisional Government won the war, resulting in the independence of the colonies.

**The Allenopolis Rebellion (1853)**

In late 1853, a rebel group was dissatisfied with how the British were limiting the rights of those in the colony. There were also those who felt as if they were not dependent on Britain anymore. At first, they simply asked the United Kingdom for independence, however when they said no, the rebellion began. An angry mob stormed the capital in Allenopolis, Cheezit  Island, very loosely starting a government. The First Islands War began when the United Kingdom sent troops to defend the colonies.

**The Start of the War (1854)**

Shortly after the Allenopolis Rebellion, the United Kingdom sent troops to the colonies in hopes to crush the rebellion and assert control over the colonies, officially starting the First Islands War. By the time the British arrived at the colonies, the rebellion had spread to nearby islands and cities, most notably in New London, Majesticail, and Snakent. The Snakent counter rebellion was successful, however, the British military groups in Allenopolis were not seeing any success.  Leaders of the rebellions from each of the five major islands met in New London and established the North Caribbean Provisional Government.

**Escalation (1854-1856)**

After the failed counter rebellions in the east and the formation of the provisional government, it became clear that it would not be easy for the British to regain control of the colonies. The provisional government now had firm control of the area between the cities of New London, Allenopolis, and Majesticail, with New London becoming the provisional government's capital. From Snakent, the British began a push down the island, hoping to be able to force the provisional government out of Majesticail. In response to this, the provisional government asserted control of the Yebay Valley and continued to push down the island, eventually stopping to take a defensive position while another counter rebellion is launched from the northern tip of Cheezit Island. The United States of America began economically supporting the provisional government.

**Continued Fighting (1856-1859)**

On Snakeysnakeyshakey Island, the battle of Homestop took place.  It was a decisive British victory and pushed the rebellion back to the Yebay Valley. On Cheezit Island, the provisional government extends west, while the counter rebellion still does not see success. On Taloskiaville Island, the provisional government extended control to New Taloskiaville, laying it under siege. On Cheezit Island, the battle of Port G, takes place, resulting in a stalemate though exhausting British resources. The British still fail to push through the Yebay Valley. In New Taloskiaviile, the UK launches a naval counter-siege. This counter-siege goes poorly for the British, losing the city and their navy being captured.

**Downfall of the United Kingdom (1860-1861)**

With the newly captured navy, the provisional government captures Lunar Island, a very strategic area to occupy. From there, they launch a full scale invasion onto Allen Beach, Snakeysnakeyshakey Island. The invasion is a success and they then establish Fort Allen, which will be very important to the provisional governments victory. With the combined units of Fort Allen and the Yebay Valley, they gain control of Homestop, something they couldn't do before. The rebellion restarts in Snakent since the British troops occupying the area were in Homestop. The rebellion in Snakent and the provisional government units in Homestop meet up at Mt. Darkestmountain, officially pushing the British out of Snakeysnakeyshakey Island. The navy in Fort Allen travels north through the Snap'd Stream, meeting up with provisional government troops stationed in Port G. at Lake Catssingg Thunder to fight the British troops occupying the area. The battle's outcome was with the provisional government as the victor, pushing the British out of Cheezit island and occupying the entirety of the colonies.

**Treaty of New Taloskiaville (1861)**

After the defeat of the British in Lake Catssingg Thunder, the two sides met in New Taloskiaville to discuss peace. They agreed to give independence to colonies as one united nation known as the Federation of North Caribbean Islands, which included all land included in the British North Caribbean colony in 1840, as well as the island of Bermuda.
