The War in Kariviria

The First Karivirian War was a conflict between the Karivirian Republic and a Walrussian-Soviet Alliance. The War actually started as two seperate conflicts that merged into one as Walrusian relations with the Karivirian Republic deteriorated separately from the ones with the Soviet Union. Both states would eventually be attacked by the Karivirian Republic but the Walrusian War would begin shortly before the Soviet one.

The Walrusian side of the war stems from Walrusian Colonization of the region. Meanwhile, the Soviet side stems from Karivirian diplomatic fall out. Nonetheless, the war merged into one larger one which ultimately lead to the defeat of Kariviria and the creation of Wanfuku.

## Prelude

### Walrusian Colonization

Walrusia would colonize the region for its natural resources in the Karivirian Coast Incident. Walrusia felt as if the Karivirians were culturally inferior and thus didn't see them as humans. There were multiple transgressions against the Karivirians and they ultimately weren't seen as human. Eventually nationalist movements would form as Walrusian disdain towards Karivirian people grew further and further. The city of Wanfuku was built in the Karivirian Republic and Walrusia attempted to force Walrusian culture onto the Karivirians.

### Soviet-Karivirian Diplomatic Fallout

The Karivirian Republic looked to the Soviet Union for an ally. They desperately desired Soviet Assistance and this desperation grew further due to being colonized by Walrusia. The Soviets did not agree to this and the relationship was one sided. Eventually, the Soviets would come into the Karivirian Republic after the war began, but would choose to make their relationship clear by assassinating a Karivirian Mayor. This was notably done by spitting vodka on the mayor and lighting him on fire.

## The War

### The Paltos Ambush

A squad of the Imperial Walrusian Army's 5th Infantry Division was on a regular patrol when Karivirian Nationalists would attack them using an IED with a Ford F-150. While the attack would greatly injure the Walrusians, they would immediately engage the enemy force of about 20 men. The Walrusians would call in danger close artillery and refused to retreat. The Walrusian Squad was able to eliminate the enemy and kill them entirely. However, the incident would be the start of the war.

### Assassination of the Karivirian President

The Karivirian Government was scrambling to respond to the incident. They claimed to be confused and didn't know what had happened. However, due to internal affairs with Walrusia, the Shinsengumi would come to the Karivirian in an attempt to reclaim their honor. 50 men of the Shinsengumi lied their way into the Capital Building and launched a suicidal banzai charge at point blank range. This operation was lead by Hijikata Toshizo, who would die along with all 50 members of the battle.

### The Battle of Raulina

The Soviets would enter the Kariviran Republic and assassinate the mayor of the city of Raulia. Their forces would then approach the city but would be attacked by the Karivirian Army. The initial Soviet Force would be completely obliterated by the Karivirians, causing Soviet reinforcements to come. However, the Soviets would be destroyed again with many captured or wounded. The Soviet Army was highly unsuccessful and ultimately defeated.

### Attack on FOB Tsurukame

Upon seeing the Soviets being attacked by Karivirians, Walrusia would make several demands. However, the Karivirians would ignore these demands and simply respond by driving a vehicular IED into FOB Tsurukame. 21 Walrusians were killed, including 3 Officers. This would mark official hostilities between the Karivirian Government and Walrusian one.

### The Battle of Onesk

Walrusia would declare war after the attack on the FOB and start by invading the capital of the country. Walrusian Combined Arms forces would attack from both the North and South ends of the city. Walrusia would light the city on fire and cause major damages. The northern advance was initially far more successful than the southern one with the southern one being halted by stiffer resistance. However, Taira Cavalry would make a breakthrough in the south, pushing back enemy forces deeper into the city. After the Northern assault is stalled, the Walrusians attempted to envelop Karivirian forces but ultimately failed. Thus the northern force took on a defensive strategy and stopped Karivirian counter attacks. The south would suffer heavily though and the Taira Cavalry Division would ultimately be destroyed by the Karivirian forces. The Walrusian advance was brought to a complete halt and Walrusia decided to bring in new mechanized units. However, these would be highly ineffective at continuing the advance and failed to make any territorial gains.

### Attack on Soviet Negotiators

The Soviets would sue for peace by making the Karivirians surrender to the Soviets. However, the Soviets who were going to deliver the message were attacked and killed, only leaving the plans to be discovered by the attacking Karivirian forces.

### Soviet Air Operations

The War would mark the first time planes were used in combat as the Soviets would begin attacks from the air on several Karivirian targets.

### Attack on Walrusian Mines

The Karivirians would briefly take control of Walrusian Mines and attack members of the 24th Logistics Division who were transporting resources out of them. They would manage to destroy and capture several Walrusian Trucks. When they attempted to take the Walrusian soldiers prisoner, the Walrusians launched a Banzai Charge and briefly overpowered the Karivirians. However, the Karivirians would employ flamethrowers in order to stop the charge.

### Operation Ten-Go

After temporarily losing control, Walrusia would launch a large scale assault operation to either reclaim or destroy the mines. Walrusia cut trade off of the Karivirian Republic and used the opportunity to begin trade with the Soviet Union. Then, Japanese forces would launch combined arms assaults on the mines to devastating effects. Many Karivirians were trapped in the mines as Walrusia opted to just attack with overwhelming force and with a complete disregard for them. Karivirian forces were decimated. With complete destruction of Karivirian Industry, Kariviria would surrender.

## Aftermath

Kariviria would not sign a treaty with the Soviet Union and the Soviet Union would pull out of the region due to repeated military failures. However, Kariviria would sign a treaty with Walrusia. This treaty would increase the amount of Karivirian slaves and create the Colony of Wanfuku, which would become a source of tension and would ultimately lead to the Second Karivirian-Walrusian War.
