The **Bovido Invasion of Asia** was a prolonged century long war fought across Asia by Bovido Has against the great imperial powers of the British Empire, Russian Empire, Japanese Empire and the Persian Republic in the Middle East, in which Bovido Has attempted to grow its sphere of influence whilst also significantly expanding its boarders, inflicting humiliating defeats on all nations which attempted to oppose their expansion. The invasion was likened by four-time British prime minister William Ewart Gladstone as being like a "plague of locust on the Asian continent", in reference to the persistance of the Bovido Hassian invading forces.

Instigated by Archbishop-Emperor Ismachiah Joash of Bovido Has in 1809 with the nation's founding, the invasion of Asia began to expand rapidly by the time of Archbishop Mattathias Jude's coronation in 1859 and saw Bovido forces commit guerrilla warfare against large colonial empires across Asia, liberating British and Japanese colonial possessions in the Indo-Pacific as well as toppling the Persian Republic in the Middle East, with the Bovido occupations of these regions resulting in widespread ethnic cleansing and destruction of religion, with thousands of Persian Muslims executed or forced to renounce their religion during the Bovido rule. As such, the invasion and subsequent occupations resulting in massive cultural change and demographic shifts, as white European settlers in the form of Bovido religious leaders (themselves descended from exiles from England) began to assimilate into the local populations, forever changing the ethnic make-ups of entire regions of the world.

Beginning with Bovido Has' expansion from the island of Belitung in the Indo-Pacific, the Christian nation began to expand into the British colonies in Indonesia, with Bovido marines being able to overthrow the colonial possessions of the British and Dutch empires in the region and expand by the 1850s. In the following years, Bovido forces under the leadership of Mattathias Jude were able to run rampant through the Indonesian and south-east Asian islands, destroying the remnants of the British Empire in the region with the fall of Indonesia in 1891. The same year, Bovido Hassian soldiers landed on the Japanese islands, taking the conflict to the Japanese Empire as Archbishop Jude launched a proclamation in 1893 claiming the "holy lands" of Jerusalem and the middle east to be "divine property of the Holy Empire of Bovido Has".

With the launch of Bovido forces against the newly proclaimed Persian Republic in 1893, Mattathias Jude began to envision a unified Christian Asian empire under Bovido control, a vision shared by his successor Nicolas Ujung who took over following Jude's 1895 death, continuing the expansion into Asia and fully conquering the Japanese Empire in 1899 with the death of Japanese Emperor Meiji. Subsequently, the Bovido armies continued their conquest and progressed into the Russian Empire, conducting invasions of Russia and the Persian Republic concurrently as part of a drive to achieve full control of all Asia (baring the Libirachi Empire, as the dominant force on the continent) before the centenary of the formation of Bovido Has in 1909. Subsequently, the fall of both Russia and Persia on July 17 and October 4, 1909 allowed Bovido Has to become a regional superpower, dominating the Asian coastlines. This newfound power led to increased tensions with the Libirachi Empire, and within the space of 4 years, the two Asian superpowers would be locked in a cold war for ideological and political supremacy
