## History

#### Independence and Turmoil (1814)

After the Napoleonic Wars, French colonies in America collapsed. New France, with the help of Britain, declared independence. Acadia was quite loyal to the new French crown. At least the government was. The people, though, had new ideas. A militia sponsored by the PJM armed the Acadian people.

#### The Acadian Revolution and Subsequent Civil War (1815-1825)

The people of Acadia went out to protest, those protests went from peaceful to bloody when the army was ordered to open fire and kill. The nation collapsed and riots and shootings became common place. Eventually, the nation spiraled into civil war. The Jacobin armies took over the capital of New Orleans and proclaimed the Acadian Republic. The Royalists fled to Lafayette City (Little Rock) and continued claming the the Province of Acadia was present. Thus, the Acadian Civil War began. The war would culminate in a pherric victory by the Acadianan Jacobins.

#### Reconstruction Era (1826-1851)

After the dust settled in Acadianna, the Jacobins were replaced with more moderates. Similar to guerrerismo in Mexico. The country was a mess, and president Jourdan de Launay had to deal with them, being a French émigré came with the downside of not being liked by the Acadiannan people. However, he succeeded in reforming the country. Becoming the first populist in the entirety of history. He allowed the inmigration of other people, such as Mexicans, Cherokee and other Tribesmen, and most importantly, Americans. As of 1920, Acadiana has the biggest Anglo population in the French-Speaking World.

#### Kindness Betrayed - The Riots of 1866 (1866-1892)

Though the Acadiannan Republic had done everything to make everyone's lives happy. Nothing came of it, the American settlers in the north had begun rioting and committing hate crimes against the local population. Even after the government had declared that Maniftest Destiny would be repealed. The youth, especially the Acadian-American youth, were incredibly nacionalistic, and wanted the entirety of northern Acadianna to be annexed into the USA. In the following 26 years, systematic violence would be the norm. As Anglo militias attacked French towns and Acadian troops showed unrelenting brutality against the militias' settlement.

#### Acadian-American War? (1892-1900)

From 1892 to 1900, due to the non-stop news of violence, the United States government, still trying to look relevant, even after they lost the Oeste Conflict (Check Mexico or USA pages) a bit less than 70 years ago. They wanted to look strong, and decided to make War Plan Gold. A sham attempt to try and take control of Acadiana. However, the United States forgot one key thing, Acadiana is a member of the Unión de Naciones Colombinas. This would be the equivalent of OTL Mexico trying to invade America. The USA had no War Plan Green, so executing War Plan Gold would be a waste of resources and men. The Acadian-American war had been averted.

#### Acadia's Role in the Great War (1914-1919)

Acadia played a significant role in the Great War, believe it or not. The Entente attempted to sway Acadia in their favor, as having the Breadbasket of America on their side would significantly help the Entente, would the Entente have won if Acadia accepted the deal we will never know. But, their failure to do so pushed their morale down a cliff. Causing mutiny and revolt in France. The Acadians remained neutral, instead deciding to help the New Granadan Republic against Venezuela.

#### The Situation (1920)

Acadia is currently run by one of the minorities, an Acadian-American populist called Huey Pierce Long Jr. The ramifications of this were big, Frankish Supremacists attempted rigging the vote in favor of Jacques Doriot, a French émigré that fled the Mainland after the Commune was installed. Some offices were bombed a lot of people died, and in the end, this only strenghthened the Coalition Gauche to win the 1915 elections. Acadia seems stable, but it is only kept toghether by the threat of Mexico intervening.

### Standings

The elections are one year from now, the situation is tense, especially after the Bombings of 1915 and the inaction that the government has taken.
