## History

### Early history

#### Lifannian Settlement and first cities

Balts first started to settle in the region around 1700 years ago in modern day Prusik Province, from which people moved to modern day Lotra and Generalas provinces. The first city to be founded was Lotra, in 430, as an important port city for trade, and the duke of the city, Mantasas, was the cousin of Lith the 4th. The duke is nowadays known as the father of Prussia. Trievandens also was established in 500 as an alernative to Lotra.

As a result of said trade to Lotra port, Lifannians settled the modern day island of Lebeštadas in 550, establishing the city of Liekas in 632, which became the third city in the region. Most other cities, however, appeared much later, as most of the region was largely empty and had no major settlements other than Lotra.

#### Further development

The First city in Prusik province, Ducas, was granted city rights in 814. The first city in Generalas Province was Kiolnanaikas which was granted city rights in 1021, Making Generalas province the last province to have a city. The amount of cities, however, was only starting to grow since the 12th century. Numerous villages around the main trade routes between Lifannia and Czelesia, in particular the Lotra-Warsaw and Lotra-Generalas-Wroclaw, with Generalas especially gaining influence in the region as a relatively new city at the time.

By this time, the whole island of Lebeštadas was also established with a port in Lebeštadas city.

The region was one of, if not the most developed places in Lifannia, as the Region was relatively safe from Thpalitic raids and was rich due to lucrative trade routes. However, The region was severely affected by 13-16th century plagues, especially Lotra.

By the 17th century, The region was starting to develop even more, partially due to the high population that had recovered from the plagues and the Golden Age of Lotra, during which Lotra became the biggest city in the region after being surpassed by Prusik. The region was beginning to rapidly industrialise in the Industrial Revulotion, and several airports were Established.

### Post 1944

#### Reannexed and recovery

After the war of destruction, the region was in shambles, as the main driver of the economy, trading, stopped. It also didn't help that newer technologies made the old trade routes inferior, as Traders could just use railways or highways to transport goods deeper into Silesia. The provinces were annexed one by one, First Prusik and Lotra in 1945, Generalas in 1946 and Lebeštadas Island way later in 1960. The region was heavily developed with new infrastructure, especially highways and airports following the re-annexations. The population of the region eventually recovered, and Prusik was selected to be the capital of the Region

The region also regained its status as a well developed, rich and great to live in place.

#### Lifannian-Silesian war and the 3rd Lifannian civil war

in 1980, Lifannia invaded Silesia following Silesian war declaration on Byzantium, which declared war on Rena. Silesia was occupied by Lifannia, and the Region of Prussia was expanded with 3 extra Silesian provinces: Poznanas, Zielonas and Kosnalis. The newly annexed provinces weren't happy being within the Region or Lifannia. Generalas was made the capital of the region due to the fact it was closer to the new centre of the region, but none of the administration moved from Prusik.

Following just after the annexation, Silesian protests were triggered all over Lifannian occupied Silesia, which turned into a revolt, which turned into a civil war all over Lifannia. Zielona and Poznanas provinces were entirely under the control of the rebels and Kosanalis city was under rebel control, but later the whole province came under rebel control. The rebels did not only push into Silesian occupied land, but also into mainland Prussian region, seeking to encircle Generalas to use as a way to make Lifannia sue for peace. Border city of Tarsiens was captured, but the rebels failed to capture Lamonas, which proved to be too big of a target for the Silesian rebels and were crushed in the battle, retreating the old and new Region provinces and eventually surrendering as a whole.

### Modern day

#### GGDL and Czelesian Occupation

In 1986, The entire region was occupied by the newly independent Czelesia, after Lifannia and Yare Yare united into GGDL after Antanas Smetona disappeared. Resistance movements were rumbling as Lifannian and GGDL foreign politics and general population, influenced by the rise of the Anti-Unionists, were turned aggressive by the occupations of the lands. In 1988, Prusik province was regained in the 1st Ultimatum to Czelesia and was made the Capital of the now 1 province region. The ultimatum, however, drew international condemnation and GGDL and EU were starting to seem more and more likely to have a war. Czelesia ordered the evacuation of people from the northeastern areas of Czelesia, but many Lifannians disobeyed the order. Just a few days later, the 2nd Ultimatum to Czelesia was sent, in which Lifannia reannexed Generalas and Lotra provinces. In all provinces Czelesians which settled between 1986 and 1988/1991 were deported. Anti Unionists and National Dualist made up the majority of the regions votes.

##### Lebeštadas Island Crisis

Lebeštadas Island remained the only province to not be regained by Lifannia after the Ultimatums. The island had the most resistance due to its separation by sea. Lifannia offered to buy the island in 1991, but Czelesians refused without discussion. Antanas Smetona, who had just returned as Leader, decided to blockade the island, despite previous promises made to Byzantine diplomats to tone down aggression. On October 27th, 50 Cruisers and 200 Destroyers were sent to blockade the island and to stop any ship movements going in or out of the island. 4 ships were sunken totaling 16 dead and 127 arrested. Later, an exclusion zone was made, now including planes too. Little talks or condemnation happened in the EU, which was starting to fall in power. Lebeštadas Island was returned for San Francisco and an undisclosed amount of money.

#### Present day

Since 1991, The Region of Prussia fully in the hands of Lifannia. After regaining the provinces, Select cities were made into Military cities (Tarsiens, Baltija, Racis), but eventually cities were reopened in the late 2000s. The region is known for its both recent and old history and cultural artifacts, whilst also boasting a large industrial base. The region is growing in both life quality, population and economy.

Generalas is currently hosting 2048 Generalas Olympics, the first Olympics in the Region of Prussia.
