The Island Nation of Balruba
Timeline
February 17th, 1947
Elements of the British 14th Brigade under General Kunacker officially surrender at Fort Salàna, and the Balruban Free Army (BFA) take 480 men prisoner. The battle here is the last official engagement between British and Balruban forces on the island--following eighteen months of intense guerrilla warfare and nearly six months of standalone fighting. This day is also considered the birth day of the Balruban Navy, when Balruban guerrillas boarded the HMS Cornwall, a U-class British destroyer and christened her the BNS Mejos.
February 22nd, 1947
Delegates between the Balruban Free State and the United Kingdom arrive in the capitol of Bagha and discuss the terms of the end of the Balruban War of Independence. This is canonized in the Treaty of Bagha, where the United Kingdom and all the relevant nations in the Allied Powers recognize the independence of Balruba as an independent and free nation. Similarly, within thirty-six hours, the United States, Soviet Union and neighboring Brazil all requested foreign embassies to be established in the capitol city.
