## History

### Prehistory (? - 110)

We know very little about the beginnings, but historians mention the existence of three tribes: Alexandrians, Philipians, and Kubskians. From what we can gather from historical documents, it's apparent that both Alexandrians and Philipians were in conflict with the Kubskians. The Alexandrians became increasingly aggressive, driven by the harsh realities of widespread starvation. With little support from other tribes, they resorted to fighting for their survival. In the year 31, the Alexandrians settled in the northern region of Bakhartian Taiga and began fishing in the Bakhartian Sea. However, in 100, they faced an attack from a local tribe of Bakhartians who ruled the Northern region. These Bakhartians eventually merged with the Kubskians and settled in a nearby mountainous region. This development incited fury among the Alexandrians, leading them to declare war on the Kubskian tribe in 110, marking their first conflict with the Kubskians. The war lasted only a year and resulted in numerous casualties on the Alexandrian side. Philipians also launched an attack on the Kubskians, seeking to capitalize on the situation. However, the Kubskians defended themselves vigorously, deterring both Philipians and Alexandrians. Subsequently, Philipians negotiated a deal with the Kubskians, which compelled the Alexandrians to continue their battle.

### The One Year War (110-111)

The Alexandrians initiated the war in the year 110 when the Kubskians settled in the Kubsk region. The Philipians terminated their agreement and joined forces with the Alexandrians, forming the Vikings. This alliance represented the unification of Alexandrians and Philipians against the Kubskians, aimed at maintaining control over the lands of Eurenia, many of which remained uncharted at the time. The Vikings made a significant miscalculation, as the Kubskians proved to be too formidable to be defeated. In desperation, the Vikings fled to frigid lands. The war concluded in 111 with an agreement that the Vikings never violated. Peace endured for more than 300 years.

### Viking Era and Bakhartian War (111 - 601)

The newly formed alliance provided significant relief for the Alexandrians and Philipians, addressing their starvation problem. They built settlements and established cities in the South Bakhartian Taiga. The Viking leader during this period was Alex the Great, who ruled from 111 until his passing in the year 201 due to a disease. Over time, Alexandrians made substantial progress. In 202, when Philip I ascended to the throne, the Vikings advanced their technology, creating clever machines to automate farming. This triggered a conflict with the Bakhartians, who sought access to these technologies. The Vikings fought resolutely and with determination. However, the Bakhartians underestimated the Vikings and retreated to the capital of Bakhartia, Bahmat. The Vikings pursued them and launched an attack on the capital on November 5th, 215, resulting in the loss of many civilian lives and significant damage to the city. A pact was eventually formed between the Vikings and the Bakhartians to cease hostilities. Following this war, the Viking leadership changed three times. In 375, a civil war erupted in Kubsk, drawing the intervention of the Vikings, who remained in Kubsk for a year. Philip II of the Philipians ascended to the throne of the Kingdom of St. Jacob, which greatly aided the Vikings in their trade with Kubsk. Philip II established an ocean trading network, which, despite its length and inefficiency, contributed to the prosperity of both kingdoms.

### Fall of the Vikings (601 - 620)

In the year 601, following the passing of Jacob II, the last king of the St. Jacob Kingdom, a new leader, Jacob III, ascended to the throne and declared the kingdom a republic. During Jacob II's reign, a dispute among the Vikings left Alexandrians and Philipians divided. Philipians sought to find warmer lands and settled in the Egnerian Jungle region, establishing the "Turtle Land Kingdom" (TLK). Kubsk Republic (KR) and TLK formed a non-aggression pact and planned to confront the Vikings. Together, they launched an attack on the Vikings with no casualties. The Vikings quickly surrendered, and the land was ceded to KR. However, a young Alexandrian leader named Alex the Glorious expressed interest in buying back the lands, ultimately paying Kubsk Republic for their return. Subsequently, Alex the Glorious founded Alexandria and became its first king. This development left many Alexandrians furious, leading to a desire for war against Kubsk Republic. Consequently, on November 1st, 620, the war commenced and lasted for three years.

### War for Kubsk (620 - 623)

The war for Kubsk was a conflict initiated by Alexandria against the Kubskian Republic. The non-aggression pact was broken, and TLK joined forces with the Alexandrians. The war progressed slowly, with Philip II joining the ranks of the Alexandrian soldiers and participating in battles alongside many other Alexandrian fighters. Alexandria's objective was to capture Kubsk and establish it as a protectorate. On November 3rd, 620, the Alexandrians launched a raid on Kubsk and held the city for three years. However, the reign of Alex I was marked by hardship, with widespread starvation. Those who resisted the Alexandrians faced public execution on the streets, and their bodies attracted rats, leading to a severe disease outbreak. Approximately fifty thousand people succumbed to the disease, while one million perished due to execution or starvation. In response, Jacob III assembled one of the most powerful armies and, on October 31st, 623, quietly infiltrated the city at 23:00. They eliminated nearly 20 thousand Alexandrian soldiers. To deter backup forces, they employed a unique song and torches, frightening the Alexandrians, who retreated to their lands. Philip II was executed, and Jacob III restored the city to its former glory. When the Alexandrians returned, a new king ascended the throne, leading to a diplomatic resolution that ended the war. Alex II and Jacob III met in the Midlands and established a city that would eventually become the largest city in both Alexandria and Kubskian Republic.

### After war and Federation period (623-777)

After the war Alex II. died and a new king Alexander I. who stepped on the throne established a brief period where he wanted to rebuild the entire infrastructure and improve relations. Alexander I. has started the industrial revolution in Alexandria and has helped a lot of rural areas. Although the king said he would improve relations with KFR with Jacob III. on the throne he started getting more cautious. A short cold war started and ended with banning of a weapon of mass destruction.
