An international analysis on the Second Sargonic war

**Prologue**

The Second Sargonic war was an awakening for the continent of Eneric. The tumultuous shattering of the 1st Runick Empire and the rise of the NSE (New Sargonic empire) sparked a new age on the Eneric continent. For the collapse of the 1st Runick Empire led to many wars between those wanting a part of the shattered Empire, but none would expect the primary aggressor to be the Runicks themselves.

**Chapter 1 - A rising Empire**

Northland, which was still fairly small and fractured, was starting to appear on the map as a relatively dominant power. Just two years before in 1681 king Anik Ødenberg had risen to power after the death of his father Oscar the Ist. The Second Sargonic war was an awakening for Northland. The Northlanders Realised they needed to modernize their army if they wanted to stay on the map.

For Northland the Second Sargonic war lead to the Naraganan dream to unite the Northic Kingdoms into one United Kingdom. For King Anik the 1st it was his first real taste of war and it physically and mentally changed him for the rest of his life. He later vowed to never allow for such an awful tragedy to occur again.

**Chapter 2 - A Fallen Superpower**

The 1st Runick Empire had been violently desintegrating for decades, and where there is a dying Empire, bad things tend to follow. When G.E.M got the majority of votes in parliament they eventually formed the New Sargonic Empire. Whilst the NSE might've been more powerful in total in comparison to the 1st Sargonic Empire, they would not compare to Sargons' dominance over Eneric, and would go on to invade less land than their predecessor. When the three consols arose to power king Anik Ødenberg expressed deep concern about the situation. Eventually once the war ended and the NSE was broken up, Northland recreated the Runick Kingdom under the rule of Hilda Ødenberg and Martén Frànen from the rubble that was left, creating one of the most powerful nations the world would soon come to know.

**Chapter 3 - Thunder from the west**

The Kingdom of Ilsatia was one of the competing kingdoms in Eneric, always looking to expand their borders across the horizon. When the NSE sent a message to the Ilsatians asking for a front to be opened up on Northlands West flank, the greedy Ilsatians were quick to accept their offer. They invaded with everything they had and actually drove back the Northlanders at first. This success, however, was not very long lived when Northland, together with Skogland, invaded the coasts and cliffsides of the Southern Kingdom of Ilsatia, whilst the NSE used their gunboats to obliterate the Northic (and Ilsatian) armies. Embarassingly, Ilsatia quickly surrendered giving Northland and Skogland a base to later invade the Kingdom once more in the Northic-Oscon war where they would fully collapse and be integrated into the United Kingdom of Northland.

**Chapter 4 - The beginning of the End**

Before the war started the Osconian empire was the dominant power on their part of the continent, being overshadowed by no one, except for maybe the 1st Runick Empire, although they hardly knew of eachothers' existence. But when the fighting started, this all quickly changed, as most were forced to choose between either the United Kingdom of Northland or the New sargonic Empire. The Osconians didn't necessarily have bad relations with either side which is probably why they didn't interfere, but that decision would lead to their own demise. By not choosing a side the Osconians had effectively doomed themselves, as they saw their grip over Eneric slowly diminish. But this did inspire other Osconian-colonized countries, Ardelistan broke away from the Osconians in 1685, whilst the Fjallsen attempted an uprising which eventually failed, though this did not stop the decline of the Osconians. Which was made obvious by their actions later on in the Northic Oscon war where the Fjallsen rebels would finally gain their independence.

**Chapter 5 - For freedom**

The Second Sargonic war is important for the Fjallsen as it gives way for the Osconians to fall which would give them the room the break off. though this would take at least 100 more years to do, the Second Sargonic war was definitely a catalyst for the eventual Fjallstec uprising.

**Chapter 6 - A wartime economy**

The Monzig reich did fairly little in the Second Sargonic war, mainly just supplying their weapons to the highest bidder, which, conveniently, was Northland. The war thus gave the Reich a head start in the weapons business, starting their 150-year domination of the gun market.

Northland. The war did give way for them to entes and gain land that used to belong to the NSE, which is still under discussion to this day between them and the 2nd Runick Empire.

**Chapter 7 - The bystander**

Beetaly was involved more economically in the Second Sargonic war, being stuck between a rock and a hard place their economy took a dip during the war, even despite them being not directly involved, they certainly felt the effects.

**In conclusion**In the end the effects of the New Sargonic war didn't just effect Northland and the Nse but the entire world while also giving way for tensions to rise in the Northic oscon war.
