Yamanashi - UN War

## War Between Yamanashi and the Empire of the United Nations

The War between Yamanashi and the Empire of the United Nations marked a tumultuous period of conflict and animosity between the two powerful entities. The war was sparked by a series of events, including the emergence of Yamanashi Republic and the execution of the renowned leader, Kenju, which ignited deep-seated tensions and grievances.

### Origins of the Conflict

Yamanashi's transformation from the small nation of Kofu into the Empire of Yamanashi, under the leadership of Kenju, set the stage for tensions with the neighboring Empire of the United Nations. The expansionist policies of the Yamanashi Empire, combined with ideological differences between the two nations, led to growing unease and distrust.

When the Yamanashi Civil War erupted, with Ayano emerging victorious and exiling Kenju to the Empire of the United Nations, the relationship between the two entities further deteriorated. Ayano's rise to power as the dictator of Yamanashi Republic, along with her National Syndicalist party's policies, intensified the divide between the two sides.

### The Execution of Kenju

One of the pivotal moments that fueled the conflict was the controversial execution of Kenju by the Empire of the United Nations. Despite Ayano's numerous requests to have Kenju returned to Yamanashi for trial, Carlo Sancto, the Emperor of the United Nations, chose to handle Kenju's fate within his empire. This decision, made against the wishes of Ayano and Yamanashi Republic, intensified hostilities and triggered a declaration of war.

Selene, the daughter of Carlo Sancto, played a significant role in advocating for Kenju's execution, contributing to the already heightened tension between the two nations.

### Declaration of War

The death of Kenju proved to be a catalyst for the declaration of war by Yamanashi Republic. On July 23 of year 1, Ayano ordered the mobilization of the largest army Yamanashi had ever seen, seeking revenge for Kenju's demise and the perceived disrespect shown by the Empire of the United Nations.

With Ayano's leadership and her determination to avenge Kenju, the war escalated rapidly, drawing in both nations' military forces and allies.

### Demands and Negotiations

In an effort to find a resolution, Ayano presented three demands to end the war:

1. The return of the bodies of the Imperial PMC mercenaries and Kenju's remains to Yamanashi for a dignified burial.

2. The abdication of Emperor Carlo Sancto and the implementation of a process for the re-election of the monarchy in the Empire of the United Nations.

3. The safe return of Kenju's wife, Irene Elmi.

Carlo Sancto agreed to the first demand, consenting to return the bodies to Yamanashi, but he rejected the other demands. This further strained the already delicate negotiations between the two sides.

### Ongoing Conflict and Consequences

As the war continued, both Yamanashi and the Empire of the United Nations endured heavy losses, and the conflict exacted a toll on both nations and their people. The war had far-reaching consequences, affecting not only the military but also political stability and diplomatic relations in the region.

The outcome of the war remained uncertain as both sides persisted in their respective goals and ambitions, unwilling to compromise their positions.
