## The Second Grand War

### Result

STO VictoryThe Banishment of Imperial Gruvania, The Destruction of Potatoland and The Founding of Athonia Puppet Nation

## Background

The Second Grand War was caused by grudges upon the formation of the two treaty organizations. First, Imperial Gruvania gave the idea of forming the Northern Treaty Organization, an organization that unites all countries in the northern part of the globe, therefore making it stronger and a bigger threat to others outside it. To counter balance the NTO, Forarendt formed the Southern Treaty Organization along with Magdorland, Potatoland, and Elovannia.

Following the Athonian Civil War, Athonia was split into two nations, Northern Athonia and Southern Athonia. While the Northern decided to stay in the NTO, the Southern didn't seem to fit and joined the STO. After that, some STO forces were stationed in Southern Athonia. Due to the close proximity between each other and the prospect of reuniting, both sides began militarily arm themselves, with North buying NTO weaponry and South buying STO weaponry.

### The War

#### Red Day

On the morning of 21 April 1 SGW, a horde of STO Tanks started to pour into Southern Athonia with the key aim to support the rebels and to turn the tide against Northern Athonia. On 21 April 1 SGW, STO Combined Force invaded Northern Athonia after the leader of Northern Athonia joins NTO. The first attack was a horde of light tanks and carpet bombing to the cities and Northern-Southern Athonia border. Gruvania Empire and NTO responded with an ultimatum to STO to cease military operations, and on 22 April, after the ultimatum was ignored, NTO declared war on STO. The organization provided 3 million personnel support to Northern Athonia. The Northern Nations began a naval blockade to STO Nations, which aimed to damage the countries economy and the war effort. STO responded by rapidly improve their industry helped by Forarendt, Potatoland and Magdorland, which would later help STO in the Battle of Abyss Sea.

#### Operation Skimdas (Invasion of Northern Athonia and Xaviera)

Following several STO incidents, such as the Fritz incident, part of Operation Khlauz, which STO and South Athonia propaganda use as a pretext to claim that STO Combined Forces are acting in self-defence, one of the first acts of war took place on 21 April 1 SGW. At 04:55, the Forarendt light tanks opened fire on the Northern-Athonia border guards. However, in many place, STO units crossed the border even before that time. Around then, the Livreta (Forarendt Air Force) attacked a number of military facilities, including Kasphlan, the first large-scale city bombing of the war. At 08:10, Magdorland-Potatoland combined troops attacked Michaelton and Bella Town. The Battle of the Border had begun. Later that day, the South Athonia-Forarendt combined troops attacked North Athonia's western, southern and eastern borders, and STO Combined Force aircraft began raids on North Athonia cities. The main STO of attack led northwards by Magdorland through the southern North Athonia border. Supporting attacks came from North Potaoland and a joint Magdorland tertiary attack. All assaults converged on the North Athonia capital, Christfield.

Gruvania Empire and NTO declared war on STO on 23 April SGW and managed to provide military support. The North Athonia-Xaviera border saw only a few minor skirmishes, and most STO forces, including 85% of armoured forces, were engaged in Southern and Center of Athonia. Despite some North Athonian successes in minor border battles, the STO technical, operational and numerical superiority forced the North Athonian armies to retreat from the borders towards Christfield and Micheora. The *STO Combined Air Force* gained air superiority in the campaign. By destroying communications, the *STO Combined Air Force* increased the pace of the advance which overran North Athonia airstrips and early warning sites, causing logistical problems for North Athonia. Many Northern Athonian Air Force units ran low on supplies, and some of them withdrew into Xaviera. The Northern Athonian initial strength from 100% total was reduced to 23% total by 25 April and air opposition virtually ceased, with the main North Athonia air bases destroyed during the first 48 hours of the war. After 2 months of war, exactly at 2 July, SGW, North Athonia officialy defeated and becomes North-Atho Protektorat under the control of STO.
