10 Years War

The Ten Years War, also known as the respective First and Second Albastan Wars, was a period of multinational conflict in the Concordia Ocean from 2032-2042 AWE originally between the rival nations of the Kingdom of Albasta and the Fascist Empire of Vonver before the intervention of The Empire of Ammerinia and the Global Imperium of Nations. It began with Vonver's armed military coup in Albasta in April 2032 following the death of King Gregor, which soon turned to outright military invasion and annexation. Ammerinia intervened on the side of Albasta, sending a flotilla and a detachment of marines to defend Port Arthur, but it proved futile and Vonver conquered Albasta after leveling several northern cities with WMDs. A reluctant casefire was signed by Ammerinia with Vonver, marking as the conflict First Albastan War. After an uneasy period of 2 years, a group of Von ships pursued some holdouts of the Albastan Navy carrying vital intelligence to the shores of Ammerinian-controlled Tengu Island, where the Ammerinian ships were forced to defend their territory and let the Albastan remnants onto the island safely. Vonver spun the affair as an act of aggression however, and launched a full attack on Tengu Island, prompting Ammerinia to declare war on the 2 year anniversary of the First War in 2034. Joining forces with the Albastan partisans newly reorganized with Ammerinian arms and training as well as the Allied Nations of the Republic of Victory and Antiarcia, a grueling land, air, and sea fight to retake Albasta began, with the Allies succeeding two years later with the recapture of Bismarck. However, Von Imperator Edgeworth vowed to retaliate and so directly attacked Empire City, the largest metropolis of Ammerinia. After the attack was repelled, Emperor James Mechan vowed not to rest until every square centimeter of Vonver was occupied and taken from Edgeworth's Traditionalist Movement, and so the even more grueling war for Vonver began, which finally concluded in 2042 with the taking of the Von capital Niamese and the destruction of the Von Executor Space Battlecruiser thanks to the efforts of the Albastan Commodore Gedrick and Ammerinian Captain Haddock. Although Ammerinia, the ROV, and Antiarcia had all already signed a mutual alliance at the Novus Crystal Summit, the war saw the formalization of the Global Imperium of Nations with the newly reformed Albastan Republic signing on after its conclusion. Vonver was partitioned among the allies and Imperator Edgeworth along with the rest of his government was executed.
