January 18th: The United Kingdom of Athos & Stules hosts the Arlington Peace Conference to discuss terms of surrender for the defeated nations of the Terrible War.

The Treaty of Parma is signed with the Osladian Empire, Grand Survaek Empire and the Empire of Vornhem sign the terms of surrender. The Zellonians and Survaekom fleets were disbanded and the Osladian's vast territorial empire was broken up, granting independence to the Republic of Boletaria and the Republic's of Kadnydz and Tahrandz.

The anarchist were discovered by the goverment a couple of weeks ago , they had plans to coup the goverment of the president Karlht Mariath and to start a revolution in the whole country , with their plans discovered they rised in arms againts the goverment their supporters in the army joined them , the 3rd army was under the control of the anarchists they quickly sized villages and small cities near Mistburn , the goverment responded very fast and mobilized the army to stop them the anarchist at first had very high morale and had some small victories againts the garrisons of the villages however the whole might of the army was now preparing to hit them hard , the army made the capital Mistburn a fortress and martial law was imposed on the whole country , the Kalpian Socialist Union (KSU) was observed the acts of the goverment and its representatives in the parlament made everything they could to stop the mobilization and martial law however they failed , the leader of the KSU Haeprio Trobveo Aeque saw this as a violation of the socialist unions rights and he prepared to stop the goverment by seizing the power , on may 10 he gave the order to seize the armory of Dontrion west of Mistburn and he also gave similar orders to his partisans in the rest of the country , the masses of the country mobilized at the order of the KSU.

The news of the Dontrion armory reached the goverment in minutes , barricades were placed around the parlament and the presidential palace , the garrison of the city readied itself to stop the masses of people that would soon gather near them , shoots could be heard as the masses moved from one place of the city to another , the 5th army was called to help the capital and they were expected to reach the capital in a day , but there were some in the garrison that believed they were going to survive more than a few hours againts the KSU partisans , first of all nobody knew how many would desert at the sight of the thousands of people or how many would desert to the KSU , the truth was that the goverment was prepared for this kind of contingency after the anarchist started the civil war , they knew that the KSU would try to seize power too and they prepared.

The garrison soldiers could think what they wanted , but there were machineguns emplacements in every important street , the partisans that seized the armory were lucky enough to have the garrison far enough from reinforcements , when the KSU partisans reached the parlament they stopped for a moment asking to the soldiers to join them againts the tyranny of the goverment , at the same time the officers asked the partisans to go back home while they could , however nobody moved until the machinegun started to fire at the partisans , at the end of the day the 5th army reached the city now with the corpses of the partisans that joined the KSU in their attempt to coup the goverment Haeprio leaved the city after that and commanded the forces of the partians that were able to leave the city or that succeded in their attempts to seize control of the minor villages .

After that the president made some declarations and asked the help of everyone to maintain the order in the nation , this had some effect as few partisans from both the anarchist and communist deserted and returned to their homes just to be called to the army after that . However the army keeps divided now the 6th army joins the KSU cause , the civil war may have started in may but in december it is already a hell for the people living in the country , it becomes normal to the citizens that artillery shells explode in a nearby farm or in middle of the street as the three sides fight to see who will rule the nation and who will be left by that time.

"Ours is the right to stablish a homeland where the opinion of every citizen really matters"-KSU propaganda

"It is time to stop the corrupt goverment from controlling our lives and to be free forever"-Anarchist propaganda

"What this country needs is order and the only way to achieve it is with you"-Goverment propaganda

Arlington to End The Terrible War
The Terrible War, nicknamed for it's high amounts of casualties, might be over for good as both sides of the war are meeting at Arlington, the capital of Athos & Stules. The Prime Minister of Athos & Stules has stated that his country and the Royal Family is honored to host the conference that could possibility end The Terrible War. The Prime Minister among with the Royal Family will be attending the Arlington Peace Conference, bringing peace to the world.

According to several sources...

— Excerpt from The Observer

---

“The world should always remember forever in their history books that our proud nation is finally putting an end to this horrible war. I promised that we wouldn't be dragged to this war, no matter what we were offered nor what was the reward of winning. Today, I am standing here to tell our dear nation that I have fulfilled the promise! My dear wife and I will be attending the Peace Conference in our capital, Arlington. I hope that God watches over us and grants that the conference will go well!”

— King William Griffiths V Speech

---

”Dear Lord William Griffiths V,
Most of the delegates from each of the nations have arrived at Arlington and there's already issues. Zellonian and Survaekom delegates are protesting against the already proposed peace terms, Commonwealth of Ostruzniva is trying to 'bully' the Osladian Empire. Just to name a few.

My King, I'd suggest that you arrive quickly to the location or the delegates could walk out of the conference. We don't want all of this to go to waste as both sides race back to their nations, reissuing more attack orders on each other. Our country is the neutral party in this World War, use it to its full potential. Enforce Ostruzniva to stop their 'bullying' on the Osladian; but at the same time, limit their punishment.

Be warmed that if this would to fail, we might not get another opportunity until the late twenties or even into the thirties. However, I have hope that we will get a peace treaty out of this conference and end the Terrible War.

— Sincerely, Prime Minister Jonathan Duncan.

A massive protest during the Peace conference

For decades historians, economists, and political scientists have debated and discussed the series of events leading to the Revolution of 1915 and the Terrible War. Both conflicts changed Osladian culture, politics, and society for decades to come and established a new order in Centra's political hemisphere.

After the death of his father, Nikolas III, Lubomir ascended to the throne in 1883 at the age of 26 years old as 'Lubomir II'. In the early months of his reign it became evident that Lubormir was not like his father, and was indeed opposite in many ways. While Nikolas has gone down as a reformist and 'liberator' with his banning of serfdom in 1863, Lubomir followed a far more traditionalist and conservative line. While his more rightist values had won him points within the military elite and nobility he had grown up around, it won him no favors among the new more independent and reformist lower class. In 1885 councilors and magistrates from the Boletarian ethnic centers protested at the Duma demanding not only representation within the Duma but also more autonomy and the right to establish their own workers unions. However all demands of representation had quickly been shot down by the new Tsar.

In foreign affairs Tsar Lubomir followed closely in the footsteps of his father, the strong Osladian-Survaekom tie being the only thing the two men shared in common. In a visit to the capital of the Grand Empire, Lubomir was stated to have praised the Empire's ability to keep such a broad ethnic spectrum without falling to chaos, and praised the Suravekom for their unity. These words of praise however, did not change his negative outlook upon the Boletarians within his own Empire. Another policy kept by Lubomir was the anti-Soroyan sentiments held by the state and a general resentment towards eastern states, believing they had allowed the 'uneducated rabble' to dominate a nobleman's political world.

Despite Lubomir's faults, the Tsar was also a strong environmentalist. In letters written to his brother, Grand Prince Andrev, Lubomir was prone to stating his jealousy towards his brother over his horseback tour of the Empire. The young Tsar was also known to pay close attention to the palace garden and often would hold entire cabinet meetings in the garden while he tended to the plants, stating that 'the mind worked better among god's creation'. Three months before the end of 1889, at the age of 32, Tsar Lubomir and Queen Vedrana announced the birth of their first son and heir, Grand Prince Anton.



For the remainder of the latter years of the 19th century there is little to note on the actions of the Osladian state. However an air of tension had begun to hang over the Duma as Boletarian nationalism continued to see rise and violence in the east had become far more common than in prior years. These tensions came to a head shortly after New Years in January of 1900. After an official increase in tax for non-Osladians Wrenclaw faced protests from angered and subjugated Boletarians, these protests turned to violence shortly after a Osladian soldier retaliated to rocks being thrown by the protesters with gunfire, turning the peaceful protest into an outright riot. Boletarian rioters stormed the Wrenclaw garrison, killing ten Osladian soldiers and declared Wrenclaw a city in revolution. In Oslograde the Tsar had become infuriated with the 'savagery' of the 'Boletarian menace' and dispatched Imperial forces to put Wrenclaw to the sword and restore the peace.



Despite the enthusiasm and will to resist against Oslad, the defenders of Wrenclaw were not prepared for the wrath of the Empire. The siege of Wrenclaw lasted nearly a month, and in early March of 1900 the city was stormed by Imperial Osladian soldiers. By the end of the siege, over three thousand Boletarians laid dead in the streets of Wrenclaw and countless more injured and imprisoned or executed. The entire revolt would go down in history and the revolters would be remembered as martyrs against an ever increasing authoritarian monarchy.

Outside of the Empire the world was shocked by the brutality of the Imperial Osladian Army, earning the Tsar the title of 'butcher' and the armed forces 'apes' by Soroyans. However Tsar Lubomir stood by his decision and awarded the officers in command of putting down the Wrenclaw Rebellion for their service to the Osladian Empire. After the events in Wrenclaw a larger military force remained permanently stationed in Boletaria in the event of another rebellion during peacetime. However the damage had been done, and the Boletarians had 'learned their place' for the time being.

Incidents of violence did not end in Wrenclaw however. Across the Empire working conditions continued to falter and little had been done to compensate the industrial labourers for their dangerous work. In the agricultural sector farmers working on land they did not own faced equally unfair and brutal conditions, often making only 20-30% of their crop while the landlord took the majority of the yield. However, the largest qualm the everyman of Oslad held with the state was the lack of non-government created unions. This led to many complaints and protestations simply being washed over and swept under the rug, often without any notification being given to the Tsar or his cabinet of the complaints to begin with. Thus, illegal and underground unions began to organize and communicate with one another. This act of subtle resistance to the ridiculous labour conditions of the state began a war of espionage between the underground unions and the secret police of the Osladian state.

Since the days of Nikolas III the Department of State Secrets and Security (DSSS) had existed as an unmentioned department of the government, known only by the higher echelons of the state. A 'black budget' had been created specifically to manage the funding of this department and continue leaving the DSSS as a myth. Since the beginning of Tsar Lubomir's reign the department had grown extensively and secret offices had been established in Boletaria to oversee subversive actions against any underground organizations and circles of resistance. The department saw it's height in the years building up to the Terrible War, when socialists and unionists were at peak influence in the industrial sector of the Osladian Empire. During these turbulent years a cold war was fought between the two groups and infiltrator hunting had become an art.



The true origins of the Terrible War can be found in 1914, a year prior to the second revolution in Boletaria and the uprising in Novouvodsk that sparked the Osladian Civil War. In the summer of 1914 Grand Prince Andrev wrote a letter to Tsar Lubomir urging his brother to abdicate and allow Grand Prince Anton to ascend to the throne. Tsar Lubomir was now an aging man and with each passing year his beliefs and outlook became more outdated. Needless to say, the Tsar was outraged. He had loved his son, but his son was only in his twenties and had taken to liberalism like many of the young nobility had at the time. In a fiery letter Lubomir cursed his brother for being a 'fool' who had become idealistic like their father. From that point until his death in 1919 Lubomir and Andrev had minimal contact and the two had begun to resent each other.

Only 9 months later in March of 1915 would a second revolt spark in Boletaria. This time the revolts came prepared, supplied with arms from outside agents, and took Wrenclaw by force. While the bulk of the armed forces marched to fight the sudden Boletarian secessionists, communists took Novouvodsk and declared 'The Osladian Socialist Federation' with insurrectionist sailors taking the regional manor and forming a 'red militia'. In the following months Survaek would come to the aid of the Osladian Empire while Soroya would lay claim to the Boletarian cause, sparking what we know today as the Terrible War.



In the next chapter we shall discuss the precarious situation the Osladian Empire faced in the early days of the Civil War and the Terrible War as well as the death of Tsar Lubomir, the military council that followed, and the ascension of Tsar Anton Manshevski I to the throne in late 1919.

The outbreak of war was, strangely enough, a symbol of hope and celebration within the lands of the Fuso people. Long they desired some way to propel themselves on to the world stage that the Centranian nations had so long enjoyed. In the eyes of the Fusan people, they say themselves as the heralding representatives of not only Fuso, but the entirety of Faresia. Spurred on my years of nationalism and patriotism as well as a myriad number of reforms about industrializing and nationalizing previously western factories and companies.

Young men rushed to recruitment stations or weapon manufactories, young women waved their brothers and lovers goodbye or joined the "Entertainment and Support Corps", the elderly cheered the young soldiers on as those in between promised great meals for when the soldiers returned. Flags fluttered in the wind as new recruits marched in rough lines towards training camps and veteran soldier proudly marched through the streets of every Fusan town, their rifles and uniforms spotless as if they were fresh off the factory line (some of which were). The pounding of feet was only followed by the roars of engines. Across the nation, the Fusan industry awoke; trucks of metal and ore rushed to forges, cloth made its way to uniform factories, food ran from the fields to canneries. Jobs opened as men left for war, women rushing in to fill them.

There was little debate within the Imperial Senate of the question of war; a near unanimous voice spoke to the divine Emperor who in turn signed the papers, if not hesitatingly. Unlike many, the Emperor had his doubts about such a costly war, fearing for the worse as he looked to the Age of the Country at War that had happened hundreds of years ago. Sure that war was old and long gone, but there was lessons to be learned. How lords had torn the nation apart with their wars and how hundreds of thousands would die for meager victory. Emperor Shiatatsu Sho was different in this way, possibly owning to his rather unique upbringing. Instead of being a direct heir, the original heir to the throne, Sho's distant relative, Shitatsu Tano, had saw something in the child related to him in some strange mess of a lineage. Tano had put Sho on to the otherwise un-royal boy on the throne and went off to become a senator under Sho. While it was clear that the Emperor had his doubts about entering such a war at first, it did not take long for senators to convince him to appear in state propaganda and give speeches in full military dress.

Hidden under all the zeal and nationalism however, was a problem that few had saw fit to mention. Despite having industrialized and modernized to some degree, Fuso was still backwards in comparison to the west. Many of the rifles they were using had been based on older models of western guns, often privately bought from factory owners with only a rudimentary understanding of ballistics. Swords and bows were still considered viable in some aspect of the army despite not being used in Centran for generations. Quite a few regiments still had traditional battle robes instead of modern uniforms, looking more akin to historical actors than true and tested soldiers. Most of the more modern weapons weren't even being domestically made and instead had been bought some years before, most notable of which were the Soroyan West Marker I heavy artillery gun and the Kalpian Ailshint L42 biplane.

The short comings did not stop at the water's edge however. Prior to the war, the Emperor had ordered a full update of the fleet, leaving the Imperial Republican Naval Command to work out the finer details. As such, the IRNC saw fit to scrap all of the aging ironclads and iron-plated steamships of the 1800's in order to make new ships. However, like many parts of the Fusan military, suffered from backwardness and unexplainable amounts of pure derp. Given that they were constructing new ships and that some of the IRNC still hadn't grasped the aspects of modern navies, it goes without saying that not only were the new Fusan ships long to construct, but had flaws which western ships had already overcame a generation ago. If size was nothing to go on, the IRNC hadn't even finished its ships when war broke out, forcing a hasty reshuffling of crews and command which had put the new Maru-Class armored cruiser, the Kaiyo Maru, as the pride and head of the imperial navy instead of the proposed Nihon-Class dreadnought, the Fuso Shogun. To say that the small Imperial navy was unfit for a war against already well established navies of the west is an understatement of great proportions.

Despite all of their shortcomings, hidden or visible, Fuso had marched into a war with its chest out and chin up, expecting a quick and easy victory like many others. Instead of their glorious, victorious war however, they had entered a slog fest, a hell of bullets and hellfire and that was already leaving out the brutal occupation of their lands.

Kaiser Waldemar IV, Emperor of Vornehm and all her colonies, was in panic. Survaek, a long time friend and partner to the Vornehm Empire, was in the process of nearly starting a war. Survaek had been supplying Osladian troops with weapons of which to fight their rebelling citizens. While Waldemar was not against the establishment of a proper ruler, he did not think war was necessarily the right solution. He spent many days meeting and planning with a myriad of advisors, both domestic and military. The ultimate conclusion was reached, offering complete support to the Survaeks in any outcome of the backing of Osladian suppression.




War had come, just as Kaiser Waldemar had predicted. When the nations of Soroya and Ostruzniva went to war with Survaek, Waldemar was quick to come to the aid of his friends. He gave the official announcement to the Vornehm people in the first ever national radio broadcast.

"My dear nation, I have come with solemn news...As many of you are aware, in the nation of Oslad, their citizens have begun a massive anarchic upstaging of their rightful government. As a reply, our political partner Survaek began supplying Osladian troops with arms to put down the traitorous rebels, to which Soroya and Ostrusniva have responded harshly, first with trade embargos and sanctions...and now with a declaration of war. I had hoped peace could be achieved, negotiated in some form, but alas this has been deemed impossible. It is with an honorable and heavy heart that I officially declare war upon the nations of Soroya and Ostruzniva, as well as any future allies of theirs. I also encourage all members of our nation to take any means necessary to win this war, whether it be serving in the military, working in the factories, or even sending in extra food for the war effort. I must ask that we remain strong during this perilous time, and work to further the strength of our nation.

[PLACEHOLDER POST]

In the capital of Zellonia where the war had remained outside its borders, however the king has been pressured, not only by ambassadors but also his own advisors. Some say to join Survaek and take what is yours from soroya and how easy of a target the The Commonwealth of Ostružnica. Yet others say join Soroya and turn the tide of the war no longer could any nation question Zellonia’s might. It already had a sizable industry and her navy which comprised of 6 Dreadnoughts, 2 Battlecruisers, 10 Heavy Cruisers, 22 Light Cruisers, 39 Destroyers and 16 Submarines. The king ordered them all away and headed to his estate in the country with his family. There he spoke to them as equals “I believe it is a time for us to make a choice and join this war. Other nations already see us as weak when we join the winning side they could no longer say that. Us joining would be the turning point or the final blow depending on who we help. But before I do this, I want us all in agreement on who to support.” After several hours they had finally come to a decision. He ordered his admirals and Generals to begin writing invasion plans. He informed his advisors to begin drafting the declarations of war. Two weeks later he returned to the capital and they had begun the war.

On March 16th in 1917 the empire of Zellonia was at war with the Grand Union and sided with the Internationalists. The Grand fleet set out to The Commonwealth of Ostružnica where the invasion would begin.

On March the things on the country dont look brighter for any side , both the anarchist and KSU forces have maintained an status quo in their fronts againts the goverment for over a month , trench warfare starts to become a thing very soon and all sides start to notice how the their casualties keep going up , the factories that once worked for the whole nation now focus in the production of weapons and ammunitions , the once mighty army of Kalpia is now split between warring factions , the intellectuals and great minds of the country are now disperse working alone , the nation that once was is no more .

Between the three factions the most succesfull in terms of popularity is the KSU which speechs about equality and the goverment of masses attract the population , they promise "Utopia" however they promise it for the future generations as the world is currently in flames , the war between the major powers started a war that made everyone afraid , every major power was involved and millions of persons were called to war , the KSU was firmly againts this and they said that the actions of all the great powers were deplorable and that one day the people would call for payback.The anarchist said that the war was the final failure of the state and that at the end of the war revolution would start and all the world would be finally free from the tyranical rule of the few , meanwhile the posture of the goverment was neutral they didnt want to be involved with any of those powers not in a time where they could absolutly nothing , the only time they gave their opinion about the war was when the casulties from both sides started to reach the tens of millions , they called it a tragedy to the whole civilized world.

Whoever the efforts of the population that supported any of sides were very high , as many times before the Kalpians showed their discipline and dedication to what they believed was right , what they believed would be a better future for them and for the whole nation , however while at that the population also suffered the hospitals became filled with wounded soldiers , the medical supplies started to lack by the end of the year and all sides started to focus on producing more medicines in order to put back the soldiers back into combat something that worked very well , some of the soldiers after the civil war narrated how the hospitals became places where you would die if the train with the medical supplies didnt arrive at time.

National Hospital of Mistburn filled with soldiers from the 1st army

The generals and commanders from all sides showed good leadership and intelligence at making their moves , the war industry became very important and some intellectuals worked in creating new weapons instead of just producing the ones already in use , some designs were mass produced while others were just failed experiments , the war economy also hurt the nation as consumer goods started to decrease , which resulted in a inflation on the prices of the consumer goods something bad for the populaton as a whole , the population endured but their spirits were hit as the fathers and mothers had to sometimes to starve to let their soons eat something.

The year of 1916 is a painful one for the whole nation , the KSU wins some land againts the anarchist at the end of the year and the goverment manages to break the momentum of the KSU , the anarchist are now in a desesperate situation and they are approaching defeat .

In the early opening days of the war, everything was going smoothly for the Fuso armies, their cracks and flaws glossed over through their skirmishes with colonial forces from the Vornehm. The inadequacy of their rifles made up through sheer firepower, the flaws of their artillery cannons ignored due to the relative lack of use and the age of several traditional Fusan tactics made up through negated through pure numbers. The colonial soldiers of Vornehm had been outdone by the forces of Fuso through skill, equipment or numbers however is a debate else for another time.



Caister the colony was called by the west, not that Fuso really cared. There was already talks about integrating the newly conquered people into the Fusan state in the senate; some officers had already taken upon themselves to draft a few of the local men as puppet troopers. Whatever few prisoners had been captured where swiftly rounded up and marched to detention camps. As one would expect, the victorious Fusan troops were greeted with mixed arms, some cheering for their "fellow Faresian liberators", other attacking the "Hostile Subjugators".

In hindsight, the attack on Caister was a decision most harmful. Its said that the Fusan attack on the colony had inflated their egos into making them think that they could actually take on the more powerful west. However, the reason behind the Fusan victory could be attributed to the smaller, not-so-impressive garrison at Caister (most Vornehm military strength had been focused in their homelands and the Fusan's home field advantage. Only when the Vornehm send a military response in earnest did Fuso realize what modern warfare truly looked like.

---

---

The Imperial Republic of Fuso had invaded Vornehm's colony of Caister on the Faresian continent. The Kaiser had been informed that the colonial defense force had fallen within the week, despite their superior training, technology, and tactics. Within a few hours of hearing the message, Kaiser Waldemar had authorized a full-scale counterattack and invasion. The Vornehm navy, after several hard-fought naval battles, managed to secure the arrival of a massive army to liberate the colony. Armed with many new pieces of equipment that their mainland counterparts had yet to be given, such as the Gewehr 1910 bolt-action rifle, the M10 Kampfsturzhelm helmet, and the Sturm MG 4 machine gun. From Caister, they would march straight into Fuso, eventually reaching the capital, and securing their surrender. The Faresian forces had fought valiantly, but were no match for the advanced military might of the Vornehm armies.

---

---

Before the end of March 1916, Vornehm had already begun an offensive against the upstart Faresian nation. Scouting planes and vessels reported an "armada of a hundred ships, poised on the horizon". The IRFN command was split upon hearing these message; some were over confident in the abilities of their men and ships but some saw that the unfinished and untested imperial fleet was a fleet of floating buckets in comparison to the Vornehm dreadnoughts and trained seamen. Never the less, the 11-ship strong virgin IRFN fleet was sent to do sortie with the enemy in Battle of the Northern Imajini Shelf.

Despite the bravado and zeal of the eager Fusan sailors, the battle barely lasted two hours with both of the Yonago-Class destroyers, Hime and Teppou sunk, as well as the Azai-Class Light Cruiser Otomo meeting her watery grave. The rest of the fleet was forced into a humiliating retreat after their flagship, the Maru-Class Armored Cruiser Kaiyo-Maru took heavy damage. Several battles soon followed after, each time less and less of Fuso's prized fleet surviving until the IRFN was forced to put "Glory Ships" into battles. "Glory Ships", despite their name, were far from glorious, literally only being large civilian boats that had small crews and lacked proper weaponry; most of the Soroyan West Marker I's meant for ground operations where pressed into service by being bolted into the decks to shoot at ships that would easily be able to deflect their smaller shot.

After a long series of routes and little to show for it, the remaining admirals and commanders were getting desperate. Rumors had it that the westerners were bringing a land army with their navy that could easily outmatch the Imperial Republican Fusan Army and that the only way to ensure victory was to destroy the navy. It then and there that Captain Shinji Ikura, the captain of the Kaiyo-Maru, proposed the use of the ancient, infamous naval doctrine: the Fire Ship. The Fire Ship doctrine was one that had involved the use flaming ships of gunpowder to crash into boats and ports used during the Age of the Country at War centuries ago, but the modern Fusan navy was out of options.

On February 18th, Captain Ikura and his men had a final drink, writing tearful letters home as they mounted their posts. Only the battered Kaiyo-Maru stood left of the old IRFN, her armor blackened and dented, holes in more places than one as blood and soot refused to come out of the once gleaming decks now left uncleaned due to a lack of manpower. A dozen Glory Ships followed Captain Ikura into the blood red sunrise, now filled with powder and oil, ready to seek true glory. At noon, the remains of the Fusan fleet met the Vornehm armada; but instead of lining up for a shoot out like the Vornehm were preparing to do, the Kaiyo-Maru rushed forward into the enemy lines. The tattered crimson flags that proudly bore the Imperial seal were set ablaze as Glory Ship rammed into the Vornehm warships, cause gaping holes in the hulls and producing deadly hellfire on the decks of the ships as they detonated.

Even with Captain Ikura's heroic sacrifice at the Western Sea of Fuso, the Vornehm were not put off. Either the Fusan ships failed to destroy the transports or the Vornehm were so stubborn that the attack carried out according to plan. The western power had no trouble landing on Fuso's beaches and quickly swept through what scraps of resistance was willing to stand. The first real battle was the Battle of Utsu Heights.

Utsu Heights was a series of cliffs and hills that had elevated the small town of Utsu on a sort of plateau. Imperial forces dug in with lines of trenches and crude pillboxes of stone, dirt and even wood in some places. Although being better equipped, the IRFA was able to hold the line due to superior terrain but two major factors would result in their inevitable defeat. First, they lacked heavy artillery in which to shell the enemy from a safe distance as all of their imported Soroyan guns had been largely wasted on Glory Ships and what guns could be used suffered from a lack of ammunition which had also been used by the Glory Boats as explosive propellent. Second, and perhaps most importantly, the Vornehm had naval support on their side as they now controlled the bay. Despite shooting either incorrectly at Fuso's docks and shipyards at the start of the battle, once the ships had zeroed in on the Fusan defensive line, Utsu Heights fell soon after, the heavy rain of lead and bomb followed by the wave of men crashing into the trenches forced a retreat by the Fusan army.

After pushing the Fusan army back, the Vornehm had set up base in village and made the decision to split their army; one half was to retake the lost colonies and one half was to push on the capital. The IRFA saw this as an opportunity to possibly destroy the incoming invaders and soon made efforts of a two pronged attack on the force moving towards the capital using the remaining Banner Armies consolidated into the 1st Defensive Army and the 2nd Defensive Army. However, due to miscommunication, Fuso's own forces were split up and the 2nd Defensive Army had been sent alone to the newly acquired territory to do battle with the Vornehm. Needless to say, the superior forces of the west easily routed and wiped out the ill-fated Fusan army group sent to kill them, prompting the recruit garrison at Caiter to abandon their posts and leave upon seeing the more professional soldiers of Fuso run for the lives. With their former holdings rescued, the Vornehm left a small detachment to guard incase the Fusans got tricky again and marched north towards Meiji. The Fusans however would not be returning to the territory until the war was over.

Now alone, the 1st Defensive Army stood alone against the onslaught of Vornehms who dared set foot on their sacred lands. Lead by General Tujoki Namabashi, the 1st army stood in solitude against the mighty western army. But General Tujoki was no fool, in fact some might dare call him the greatest military mind in Fuso, or even the world. Before he had been tied down by the former commanding General Tishiano Yamaguchi, but after General Tishiano had perished along with the 2nd Defensive Army, Tujoki stood alone and took the reins of the remaining Fusan forces and mounted an epic defense.

Drafting the residents of Meiji, Tujoki had put them to work digging trenches and mounting defenses. He had his men go out and raze the surrounding country side scorched earth-style. Wielding considerable force in the Imperial Senate, Tujoki made himself second only to the Emperor as he pressed the senate to enact rationing laws, production quotas and the raising of additional levy militia. Its stated that it wasn't the westerners who showed the Fusans the true nature of total war, it was Tujoki. His policies lead to riots and civil unrest, but it was also his policies that had kept everyone equally fed and protected.

Then, a week since Meiji had started to dug in, the skies opened up once more to bring them lead and fire; reckoning was upon the last bastion of Fuso. For days the Vornehm shelled and attacked the Fusan trenches, for days it was under Tujoki who repelled them, but sometimes with great costs. "Sometimes you need to let a thousand men die so two thousand somewhere else would be safe." he once said.

But the defensive stalemate was soon turning in Vornehm's favor. Through sheer numbers and equipment, the Vornehm took over the defenses built so painstaking by hand by the citizens of Fuso. Trench by trench, hole by hole the Fusan soldiers and militia fought the superior Vornehm troops over scraps of dirt and ground. Once the fighting had reached the city, all sense of tactics was lost; street by street, building by building, room by room the Vornehm cleared out the tired defenders. Gunfights turned into furious melee brawls, aided by the martial arts dojos who had took it upon themselves to teach the westerners true warrior spirit, but spirit does not stop bullets.

As the IRFA crumbled, the civilian militia came up with all sorts of creations to fight back. Home made catapults to lob home made bombs at the enemy, thin wires and string used as triggers to home made mines, infiltration attempts using captured Vornehm uniforms. But the militia was just a militia at the end of the day, a militia of shopkeepers and civilians up against one of the west's strongest armies.

Even as the city fell under siege, the Emperor remained at his post, his royal guard guarding their lord with nervous hands. Although some of the more cowardly politicans ran at the first sight of the army and even more once the shooting began, Emperor Shiatsu stayed, his iron will seemingly protecting him from any damage as even the palace came under fire and held some senators to stay by him.

---

---

"This... t-this is madness! My-my-my lord! We must essscape while we still can!"

"Very well senator, you may leave. I will send someone to ensure you can find a carriage out and a great white flag to let you through the enemy lines."

"N-no, I don't mean it-it li-like that!"

"Then what are you proposing? Speak up now, we have not all day, I still have work to do."

"W-work...? Pa-pardon me-me for as-king, bub-but what 'work' could you possibly still ha-have at a ti-time like thi-this?"

"This palace still stands no? I am still here in good health am I not?"

"O-one would as-assume so... fo-for the ti-time being..."

---

---

The emperor was right. Soon after shouting and fighting began in the great halls of the palace, several bullets ripping through the walls into the Senate were the government was still sitting, all trembling besides Emperor Shiatasu. Not long after, the doors burst open and the senators shot up and threw their arms up, escorted out one by one until only the Emperor remain, still dressed in his ceremonial Imperial robes, calmly sitting on his throne as the Vornehmian soldiers formed a ring of rifles and bayonets around him. According to one story, the Emperor shot and eye at the commanding officer and said in his best Vornehm, "If this is how you treat leaders, I hate to see how you treat your people."

A day later, the news had come to the world as Vornehm's soldiers began to leave, stationing a sizable garrison in Fuso however: Fuso had fallen. The upstart Faresian nation who so eagerly wanted a war got a war, one that had left swathes of land in ruins and uncountable numbers dead. At the end of it all, the recognition and fame that Fuso wanted from joining the war was left unknown to the battered nation as it began to settle into occupation, but they had proven one thing to the west, the east was not weak.

They were glorious days! Days to be remembered, no matter how treacherous and shameful the last years were. The reign of his Majesty Shayaer Khaitis: Lord of Kafu and New Byrnis, Khan of the Southern Tribes, Sovereign of the North-Lands, Sultan of Aydin, King of Raethon and Byrnia, Protector of the Audejjai Seas, Sword of Aed* and Grand Survaek Emperor! His wise reign, supported by the righteous Aedakom clergy and far-seeing officials in the military, was inaugurated by the bloody coup he led against his own corrupt family and their lackeys. It was a tragic cost, but it allowed him to finally put an end to almost two centuries of decline.

First he reformed the Imperial Bureaucracy, eliminating the decadent Old Generation and replacing them with the fiery-hearted, clear-thinking New Generation from the Imperial Academies. Then, he reformed the Surv-Akur and the Surv-Vyaez, great army and navy of Survaek. And then, he reformed the land throughout the Empire, abolishing the tenures of corrupt feudal land-lords. Finally, using the skills of the New Generation and the confiscated wealth of the traitorous Old, he revived the industry of Survaek. By 1900, the Grand Survaek was equal to the Great Centran Powers in every respect, no longer the "Sick Man." But, the wise Emperor Shayaer Khaitis aimed for more than equality.

In 1903, the Great Reconquest began, pitting the new Surv-Akur against those who had betrayed the Empire in the 1700s, and by 1911 with the blessing of Aed the Grand Survaek Empire rightfully stretched across the whole of Tervasa. The gold and maroon banner of Survaek flew in every corner of the continent, accompanied by the Bureaucracy and the Vaekirate as in the days of Emperor Yvor the Great. Prosperity reigned for five good years. Peasants of all Tervasa were freed from serfdom and landlordism, industry boomed in every great city, goods and people from every corner of the World passed through the capital of Foedinei. The Imperial Press Service was founded along with the Imperial Standard Education, bringing literacy to millions and with it accounts of events to be read. But then, his Imperial Majesty made a single, tragic mistake.

Seeing dangerous revolutionaries in the Osladian Empire being supported by meddling Soroya, the Emperor of Survaek had righteously supported the cause of his fellow Emperor in Centran. Yet, the Soroyans were resolute in their determination to tear apart Oslad, and after that there was no question that Survaek would be next. Their navy blockaded our ports, a hostile and unjustified act indeed, but instead of attempting negotiations or waiting for a more opportune moment, Emperor Shayaer immediately escalated the matter into war. From there, over time, events would gradually slip out of his control.




The Surv-Akur was one of the largest and most experienced armies in the world after the Great Reconquest, and its commanders were capable beyond reproach. The three greatest Generals of our age would each command a Grand Army: Stae Pjjokhat, Nel Hjarkin, and Ishui Gvardiu. With the help of the glorious Empire of Vornehm, the powerful Chaegon Empire, and the besieged Osladian Empire, the combined armies of righteousness were greater than any alliance ever seen before. The Surv-Vyaez likewise was a grand navy, especially alongside our allies. Knowing this, Emperor Shayaer bargained with the Kingdom of Zellonia, which eventually agreed to join the righteous cause. But such a large coalition called forth a great coalition to meet it, and thus the world slipped into the Terrible War.

At first, our campaigns looked promising. A Soroyan attempt to march into Tervasa failed miserably when our forces beat them back, surrounded them, and captured their entire army in the First Battle of Kafu. From there the Empire won victory after victory on land, and initial setbacks at sea were reversed when the Kingdom of Zellonia joined the righteous cause.




But for such a massive war with so many deathly innovations at work, this could not last. People in the homelands suffered as industry single-mindedly served the military. Supply lines stretched long and thin. Advances of less than a mile costed tens of thousands of lives, even hundreds of thousands, and eventually righteous allies' momentum was lost. Yet, they were in a strong position to negotiate a peace. Tragically, they chose not to. Monarchs, Generals, Admirals, and even journalists all expected more victories and Soroya's total defeat. Only the Vaekir, in a rare momnt of disagreement with the Sword of Aed, advised a peace settlement to end the suffering. And then, before the Grand Empire could react or prepare, the Chaegon Revolution turned one of our great allies into a dangerous enemy.

Swiftly and unexpectedly, imminent victory turned into defeat. Zellonia fell in 1919 when invaded by our enemies, by which time they also occupied all of Tervasa outside the core territories of Byrnia, Raethon, and the Khaitis-lands. In October, Survaek lost the Battle of West Aydin, opening the way for Soroya and its allies to march into Raethon. Desperate to fend off the invaders, Emperor Shayaer Khaitis moved his seat -and the capital of the Grand Empire- from Foedinei to Byrnis. This afforded his commanders the time to organize one last, massive offensive to drive their enemies. Thus began the Second Battle of Kafu.

It was as immense a defeat as the First Battle of Kafu had been a victory. The numbers of young Survaekom who died are too great to repeat here. Any last hope of victory vanished, along with an entire fifth of what we now call the Lost Generation. The months that ensued were merely the weakened kicks of a drowning nation, holding the attackers at bay with trenches filled by conscripts, many far too young or far too old to be fighting. By now, even Emperor Shayaer's closest advisors were begging for him to negotiate with the enemy. But it would ultimately be the masses that forced Shayaer's hands. Bread riots that had plagued the streets of Byrnis, Foedinei, and Arkhaer for months escalated into revolts, and massive sections of the army and navy mutinied. They demanded peace, and Emperor Shayaer finally accepted his sacred Duty in the first days of 1920.

The Treaty of Parma was not kind. Even our core territories were divided, new states with no history invented for the sole purposes of weakening Survaek. The suffering of the war was made even greater for those who lost the protection of Imperial Law, peasants re-subjugated to feudalism and cityfolk robbed of the Imperial Bureaucracy's emergency distribution networks for food and other necessities. Shayaer Khaitis abdicated in shame, and Survaek's best leaders resigned with him. What is left of the Empire was left to the hands of his heir, Yvor III, and an entirely new generation of advisors and commanders.

Why Aed allowed this to happen, no one knows. But as long as the Khaitis line remains, so does the Prophet's holy claim. As long as the dynasty remains, there is still hope. What we have lost can be regained, with a wise Sword to guide us and favor from above. This is why we still pledge our loyalty to the Grand Survaek Emperor, his Imperial Majesty Yvor III, and whoever his heirs may be. This is why, even in our defeat, we must insist on declaring Long live the Emperor, and long live Survaek.

*Aedak is the monotheistic state religion of the Grand Survaek Empire, dating to the Prophet-Emperor Raegar of the ancient First Survaek Empire. God is referred to as Aed. It has two foundational texts: The Aedaknam, consisting of mystics' accounts of Aed predating even the Prophet; and the Raegarnam, consisting of the lessons and laws given by the Prophet. As heirs of the Prophet, all Emperors are known as "Sword of Aed." The religion has three core principles: Duty, Mastery, and Dignity. For over a millenium, the Vaekirate network of clergy, led by the Vaekir and the High Conclave of Chief Priests. It was once independent and parallel to the Emperor, but since the last century all clergy are considered subjects of the Emperor.

Excerpt from Joseph Kaur's, Safe Haven from Refugees Caught in The Middle

Before the Arlington Peace Conference was held, The Terrible War had just begun and the world was suddenly changed. Portton Bay was overfill with ships that were carrying thousands of refugees, looking from safe haven away from their war-torn countries. King William Griffiths V accepted the refugees and established several temporary camps around the coastlines and in several cities, including Parma. The war had caused chaos from the Kingdom as they weren't prepared from the flooding of refugees, so much that the ships were thought to be enemy ships coming from Tsardom of Ventium.

Despite the huge waves of refugees, the Royal Family supported the refugees and often visited these temporary camps to give speeches or to help out in anyway possible. Prime Minister Nicholas Shaw, on the other hand, worried that the Royal Family would be assassinated by them at one of the temporary camps. And at the start of the war, supported the Survaekom's shipments to Oslad and was against the embargo of the Survaek Empire. However, the Royal Family and Parliament agreed to declared Neutrality and list Portton Bay as neutral seas.

When Shaw refused the request, his political party impeached him from his works and replaced him with Jonathan Duncan. Nicholas left the country and went straight to Vornehm. The Prime Minister Jonathan Duncan declared neutrality on 02, July 1916 and then declared Portton Bay as neutral seas from refugees two days later.

Soon after the declaration, refugees from all over went straight towards The United Kingdom of Athos & Stules and welcomed by the people. The Prime Minister soon sent several ships to gather the refugees from nations, that were apart of the Terrible War. Near the month of November, propaganda cards began to appear all over ports of nations and especially in the neighboring nation, Ventium. They were encouraging people from the countries to leave and join the 'kingdoms of peace'.

Ventium blamed Athos & Stules from sending out the cards and causing an estimated of 300,000 people in the month of November. The Prime Minister declined that his countries made the cards and that they were made by 'independent sources of unknown'. But, the cards did their job and brought in about 700,000 refugees in the months of November of 1916 to March of 1917.


^{The propaganda card with text: Refugees in front of and across the border}

The refugees soon spread out over the entire country and handed over to the care of the Provincial Refugee committees. It cost the country about 300 billion to set and provide from the refugees over the course of the war. Parliament was afraid of riots and manifestations against the countries and then soon would target each other. Because of that, Parliament approved a bill that separated out refugees based on their country's alignment from "safely reasons". Even known, it didn't completely stop the random attack on refugees from each other.


^{One of the first temporary camps set up during the war near the city of Parma}

It is the year 1919 and now the civil war of Kalpia is near to end , in the last two years the three sides fought a endless war for the right to rule the people of Kalpia , the side that rised victorious was the republican goverment which won several decisive battle againts the KSU in the last year and had succesfully dismantled the heirarchy of the anarchists , for now the goverment after receiving the surrender of the KSU leaders prepares to do justice while the people , finally have peace atleast he ones that wanted peace since some of the partisans keep doing their activities in the far sides of the nation.

In the parlament the opinions about what to do about the KSU and the anarchist are divided , because the KSU represents a portion of the population which have to be represented in the parlament by the constitution and the anarchist represent the radical liberals , therefore their parties cant be outlawed but others think that what they did is treason to the homeland and need to be punished and outlawed so they dont have the chance to do it again , the president have expressed his support to this motion .In october of 1919 the parlament decided to remove the leaders of each party involved with the civil war and to put penalties to them , but they are not removed because they represent some of the population.

The goverment now focuses in the reconstruction of the country and with that new associations rise to help in the reconstruction effort , one of those associatioons is the "Kalpian Brothers" which gathers a lot of the young population , they focus on doing meetings where they give food to the poor and help in the construction of houses for the homeless , the goverment has saw this as a good initiative but has not support them because they need to focus on the whole country and they currently dont have the resources to do it .

The army have saw some conmotion too as the generals that deserted are now in prison because of their crimes againts the goverment , several of the generals that maintained loyal to the goverment are rewarded and now the high command of the army focuses to avoid desertions again , also several of the equipment lost to the other sides in the civil war is slowly being recovered by the army , however some notice that now the a high amount of the farmers and people living in the countryside now have rifles.

While the rest of the world is trying to win a war the Kalpians now focus on rebuilding their country , they have learned that fighting between them is no good , some believe that the country is and will always be a family while others think that the hate will remain for some time , the neighbouring countries are now awaiting for the goverment to reestablish relationships with the goverment , since some of them supported the rebells againts the goverment .

In the initial months of the Osladian Civil War, the conflict directly leading to what we now know as the Terrible War, the 2nd Imperial Army under command of Lieutenant-General Sobek Perlitch (1853-1918) faced off against recently organized Boletarian militiamen. Initially it seemed to be a repeat of the 1900 Revolt, with villages quickly falling under Osladian control and rebels being put down by the sheer manpower of the 2nd Imperial Army. However upon reaching Wrenclaw and beginning assaults on the city did the Osladians truly take into account the ferocity and will to fight that the bulk of the Boletarian resistance held. The initial attacks on Wrenclaw failed miserably as the unprepared and ill-equipped Osladians were forced into street by street urban combat in a city that many Osladian soldiers knew very little about. Meanwhile the Boletarian fighters were in their own urban centers, fighting only blocks from their own homes. In the vain hope of simply demoralizing the Boletarians, Perlitch allowed mass artillery barrages on Wrenclaw, even while civilians occupied the city. Within the first month of the Civil War, an estimated eight to ten thousand Boletarian civilians had been killed in the crossfire, while only a thousand Boletarian fighters and two thousand Osladian soldiers lay dead in the fields of Boletaria and the streets of Wrenclaw.

Outside of Oslad, the drastic and desperate actions taken by the 2nd Imperial Army only further propagated the view that Oslad was in the wrong and that the Boletarians were indeed simply fighting for independence and the right to exist as a culture. However within Osladian media the actions were shown as noble and that the Boletarian 'terrorists' were the ones instigating such actions in the hope to show Oslad as barbaric.



In the end, the siege of Wrenclaw was considered a complete failure and the 2nd Imperial Army was ordered into retreat, fearing the cost of continued urban combat. In Wrenclaw, this was met with joyous celebration and was the first victory of many the Boletarian rebels would have against the overstretched Osladian army. Across the entire front more Boletarians joined in a fight they now believed was winnable, and the Osladians were forced into a full retreat by the end of 1915. Even with Survaekom equipment and volunteer manpower coming in, the Osladian High Command knew that this would be a long and bloody civil war.

In late August of the same year, the Kadnydzians rose to revolt in the Hurzlands, with the local garrison falling to socialistic revolutionaries, much like the city of Novouvodsk had faced, and much like Novouvodsk the revolt was quickly put in it's place and the Reds stomped before December. However socialist sentiments remained within the two cities for decades to come, and the Hurzland has since shaped into a left-leaning region throughout the 20th century.

Once the Terrible War began in earnest, the coastline of the Osladian Empire filled with the transports of Soroyan marines in Suvre, Boletaria and Survaekom Troop Carriers in Novouvodsk. By Fall of 1916 a series of trenchworks had begun construction stretching across Boletaria and the lines stretched back and forth across the endless steppes of Tangaria. In fact, it was in Tangaria where the Imperial Army of Oslad held the most advantage. Since the 18th century the Tangarians were loyal subjects of the Osladian monarchy and the Tangarian Cossacks had earned a name as incredible cavalry fighters and warriors. The most famous Tangarian regiment being the 16th 'Wind Lords', who faced devastating casualties during the Osladian conquest of Boletaria in the 1850s yet still took their given objective and won the battle of Tvarlești for the Osladian Empire.



For years the war stretched on, and the bodies piled up into the millions. By 1919 it was clear that Oslad was not on the side of the victors. Joint Soroyan-Ostružnican massed assaults and artillery barrages broke the eastern Boletarian line and the entire front was once again on the move southward, closer and closer to Osladian lands. Yet, Tsar Lubomir II stood firm and called for all Osladians to serve the Imperial Armed Forces and send the 'terrorist, traitors, and their bedmates' out of the Empire's rightful lands.

It was sudden, but not surprising. In October of 1919, as another summer of failed offensives and retreats, came to a close Tsar Lubomir II passed from this world and into the next. The Tsar died in his sleep at the age of 63, leaving behind three children and Tsarina Vedrana as a widow. On October 28th, 1919 Anton Manevski ascended to the Throne of all Oslads as Anton I at the age of 30.

Anton was much like his grandfather and a reformist, viewing the entire war as a disgrace to his family and the Osladian Empire. Thus his first act as Tsar came as no surprise. He agreed to come to the negotiating table and signed a treaty of unconditional surrender on January 18th, 1920 alongside delegates from his allies in Survaek and Vornhem.

"We have done everything that could be done to avert that which we must now do. We have rallied, we have demonstrated and we have petitioned for the very ideal of independence. These things have all been in vain. We can no longer hold hope that our freedom might be acquired peacefully, there is but one course ahead of us. The Boletarian Free Army calls on the thousands of brothers thirsting to fight, to take up arms and smash the oppressor... Every Boletarian homestead must become a stronghold in the struggle against the invaders... Not a moment is to be lost." - Wireless telegraph transmitted across Boletaria by Teodor Ladzinksi ordering the BFA to arms, circa 1915.


In late 1914, Boletarians with a hope for a sovereign Boletaria began serious preparations for an uprising in face of the unsuccessful revolution of 1910. Which had served only to tighten the ironclad grip of the Osladian regime over the region and populace with a large garrison stationed in the capital of Wrenclaw in response.

The Boletarian Free Army formed by Teodor Ladzinksi, a firm Boletarian nationalist and former General of the Osladian Empire. Came to be the dominant resistance movement during the 5 years following the Boletarian Revolution of 1910 as it continued to absorb other underground forces. Under the guiding hand of Ladzinksi, the movement saw itself organized and militarized. Weapons were purchased from the sympathetic Kingdom of Soroya as regions and towns were allocated and plans were drawn up to be carried out when the time came. That time came 7 days later after the world learned of the Blackcoat Massacre.

On March 22nd, 1915 the BFA took up arms. Across the city of Wrenclaw alone, 8,000 partisans were mobilized and positioned throughout the city to strike at the appointed time. This sudden mobilization did not however go unnoticed and sporadic gunfire and engagements between the BFA and Osladian Garrison sounded throughout the city before the hour. The Osladian DSSS had encountered and anticipated the threat of a second revolution resultant in the bolstered garrison but had ultimately failed to realize it's full strength until it was too late and the Second Boletarian Revolution was underway.



The streets became a flurry as the BFA, bolstered by organised regiments of partisans trickling into the city, rounded up and captured Osladian soldiers forcing them from their barracks with relatively minor bloodshed compared with what was to come. After talks, the regiments were allowed to leave the city without their weapons and munitions, which was to summarily be put to use by the uprising forces, as they set about securing and fortifying their homes and the city itself from the impending rebuttal of the Osladian armed forces. Across the countryside, towns and villages were captured by Boletarian forces to be then fought over as the Osladian 2nd Army were dispatched to the region. These fights across the plains of Boletaria were to remain indecisive while Wrenclaw saw the most bloodiest and decisive battles fought.



The 2nd Army's response was one of pure cruelty and terror. Shells flew in earnest as the distant boom of artillery resounded across the city of Wrenclaw. The Siege of Wrenclaw had begun. With civilians still present within the city as the mass bombardment began, a bloodbath ensued which in it's graphic detail was conveyed to sympathetic officals across the globe, so that all would know of the unjust ways of the Osladian Empire. The Siege would persist for months. The people of Boletaria endured however. Civil unrest wracked the oppressive Empire and eventually the tide began to turn as the Siege of Wrenclaw turned into an Osladian retreat as across the Boletarian plains sporadic engagements took place.

Almost a year after the Second Boletarian Revolution had begun, the two nations faced a sluggish and indecisive war. The Boletarians supplied by the Soroyans and their allies, the Osladians intent on maintaining their power, supplied by the Survaekom and their allies. This would eventually graduate to world war with a Survaekom declaration of war on the Kingdom of Soroya.

The Terrible War was about to begin in all it's horror.
