## History

Since the country's foundation in 301 AD, the Army and the Navy was established separately. The Army and the Navy took the northern and southern lands in what is now called the **Emilia-Romagna Region** (**Région du Nord**) and **Marche Region** (**Regione Sud**) around 106 years later. Before Confederacy was established in 1404, the Sammarinese Armed Forces was created to cooperate between the Army and the Navy, the church, and the government. During Pre-Confederation period up until Federalism, the country maintained its presence by staying neutral and protecting the country from other foreign invaders. When a new constitution was released, the Sammarinese Armed Forces now operates under the cooperation with the government. In 1912, the Sammarinese Armed Forces was responsible for the Fascist aggression in the south, thus leading to the **Sammarinese Civil War**. The **Falliéres-Gozi Line** was established by the government and the Armed Forces to neutralize the Federal North to the Fascist South. When the Federal North won the civil war in 1918, the country starts to establish a new independent branch called the **San Marino Air Force**. In 20 January 2022, an invasion of the Croatian county of **Licka-Senjska** took place, marking the first modern invasion since the **Expansion of 407** and the first expansion ever since.
