Novelian-American war

# **About**

The Novelian-American war was a war fought between The Republic of Novelia and The United States. The war lasted 7 Months and 23 days, starting in 7th March 2023 and ending on November 9th.

During the onset of the Novelian Civil War, precipitated by the turmoil of the IDS-21 pandemic, then-U.S. President Moon began to perceive Novelia as a burgeoning threat to American national security. His concern intensified, fueled by apprehensions that the conflict might breach American borders.

The civil war concluded with a significant political shift in Novelia: President James Hamburger, a long-time ally of the U.S., was compelled to resign. His successor, Edgard Monroe, swiftly distanced Novelia from American influence, striving to achieve complete national self-sufficiency. He also aggressively addressed the widespread corruption that had plagued the Hamburger administration. These actions precipitated a diplomatic rift between the two nations.

Tensions escalated with the emergence of an anti-American sentiment in Novelia, particularly following the disclosure of documents that detailed the Hamburger administration's relations with the U.S. In response, President Moon sought to engage Monroe, proposing various strategies to restore diplomatic ties and suggesting modifications to Novelia's reforms. However, Monroe rebuffed these overtures, interpreting them as American attempts to exert control over Novelia.

A contentious exchange unfolded, with Monroe accusing Moon of abetting the corruption that had infested Novelia during Hamburger's presidency. The situation in Novelia became increasingly volatile; Novelian authorities suppressed demonstrations by the American Unity Party in Goldencity, and the anti-American sentiment proliferated.

The discord spilled into the streets, where Novelians residing in America and Americans living in Novelia confronted increasing prejudice, often culminating in violent clashes. Monroe's subsequent refusal to acquiesce to President Moon's demands for action marked the ignition point of a profound and growing conflict.

At the end of the war, a large tract of land previously part of the U.S, was ceded to Novelia, leading to the establishment of the state of Murdach. President Moon would resign a week after the ceasefire agreement due to immense pressure and loss of confidence.
