The Independence war was a core part of the 60 Years war, which lasted the duration of the war. During the 60 years War, Political Turmoil Scarred the nation, with a strong Nationalist attitude exiting the Independence War in 1784.

## Early Politics

In 1721, the Nation was proclaimed a Kingdom, and the nine-year-old King Deitrich I Ive Serulea was placed on the Throne, as he was a member of a Noble family, whose Uncle ruled over one of the Holy Gerudian States, he was a sympathizer to the Revunian cause.

After the King turned 16, he began observing battles, and occasionally joining in cavalry charges with the general staff, who defended him in battle, which left him with multiple scars on his face, and his body. With this behavior and his young age, many within the kingdom began to question his authority, and a divide formed in the nation during the war, especially with the tiring war cutting down on the population.

Years later, in 1743, King Deitrich Conquered his Uncle's Nation, which willfully tried to join, but was toppled by a Legitimist Coup in 1735, which replaced the royal family in the Kingdom of Touroun with a branch of the Abkharelian royals.

After the conquering of many provinces, many Revunians became supporters of Abkharelia, stating that the King was illegitimately placed, and that he was too inexperienced to be king. In 1763, an uprising in the capital, Talakrie took place, where Legitimists tried to break into the royal building, which was conducted by the Militias which supported Abkharelia. They used line tactics and shot at the building, which held the now 53 year old King, the bullets busted through the windows of the palace and into the walls. A stray bullet ricocheted and hit the king in the arm, which slowed his evacuation. Forces were sent to the palace who shot and killed most militiamen, ending the revolt, and discouraging many of the supporters from trying further revolt.

After the Insurrection, the King solidified his control, by making the majority ethnic group the Takalini Gerudians, who were the majority by then, and making his support base larger.

After the War, the Kingdom was left more nationalist than ever, such thinking reached the now elderly king, who supported it, and began arming his army more heavily, as well as passing more restrictive laws to free speech against the nation, especially with his clear memory of the uprising.

## After the King's Death

In 1804, the king passed away, leaving the throne to his young grandson, William the First, who was more Nationalist than his Grandfather, and aspired to unite Gerudia under his own rule.

Once William gained power, the legitimists gained more supporters, fearing a new king who may be more nationalist than the previous king.

in 1810, the legitimists organized an army, and marched to the capital, lighting the royal palace on fire once they reached it, burning half of William's face, and withering his right arm, as well as damaging his lungs and legs, making it harder to escape the palace. With the help of his family and assistants, he escaped.

With the king in hiding, and a powerful force in the capital city, the Legitimists had a solid grip over Revunia, and the day after the attack, William sent a letter to the army stationed there, that reads:

>
>  To the men stationed in my residence; this letter is not of surrender, and I do intend to return to my rightful place. But for now, you shall take my place, for I am far too unfit to rule with these injuries. -William Ive Serulea

## Republican Era

with the king in exile, The General of the militia claimed leadership of the nation, while the Militias Organizer claimed it aswell, which lead to a duel in the palace the day after, which the general won after slicing the organizer's throat, leading to his death. The general wrote the constitution the next day, giving a 10 year term to the President of the Republic of Revunia

With a military leader, Revunia now seeked to spread the republican ideals with it's military might, while also being as diplomatic as it can be.

First, The President began the Republic War, which lasted from 1812 to 1813, and only spread the republic's ideal to Touroun, where the Republican Regime was strongly supported by the Legitimists, who had both a Prime Minister and a King.

5 years later, in 1820, William went on horseback to the royal palace, leading a large military, where the President battled alongside his own army, leading to the President's death after he was cut in the chest by William, after which William became the new ruler of Revunia.

## Period of William's Policy

With William now in control of the nation, he could command to his will and fulfill his aspiration. This began with manipulation in politics, with a continental blockade of Abkharelia. William convinced the west Gerudian states in 1863, to join together in a confederacy called the West Gerudian Confederacy, when they could not rely on Abkharelia for trade, the West Gerudian Confederacy was led by Revunia. Forsa joined, but the Abkharelian royal nation of Touroun had to be invaded, the invasion lasted 3 months, after which the Abkharelian royals were exiled, and the republic replaced by William's Nephew's Branch of the family.

### West Gerudia

With this New West Gerudian Confederation formed, the East Gerudian Nations were worried about the expansion and possible unification under William the First. West Gerudia began sending ultimatums, until 1870, when Abkharelia had enough, and declared war on West Gerudia, Beginning The War of Succession

### The War

Abkarelia formed a coalition of East Gerudian States and declared war on West Gerudia in 1870. In the first months of the war, the West Gerudians were caught off guard and lost some land. In June 1870, the Naval Battle of Malihuay happened, resulting in West Gerudia's Victory. July - August 1870, West Gerudia gained the upper hand of the war and conquered Artern. West Gerudia prepared a summer offensive into Abkharelia in 1871. The Battle of Hutvelden happened, resulting in West Gerudia's Victory, giving a key strategic point to the region, leaving Abkharelia open to attack. After the Battle of Hutvelden, WIlliam Died, leaving the throne to his son, William II. The West Gerudian army advanced into the northern mountians, battling at Albhutter. With a clear victory, the West Gerudian army captured the undefended capital and signed the Peace Treaty of Touroun in 1871, ending the hostilities that began in 1870. The treaty included territorial adjustments, reparation payments, and the occupation of the Alban Mountains by West Gerudia until the full payment of reparations was made. The final agreement made was the unification of Gerudia.
