Saukhin Islands: Difference between revisions

As similar incidents took place, the Kingdom's patience would eventually run out. On May 7, 1831, the king of Tapkoii, [[King Wapuhunea]], signed a decree expelling and severing ties with the Qabóri Woqalate. This sent shockwaves throughout the Woqalate, as the Saukhin Islands were one of the most important and strategic locations for the Qabóri Navy. The newly-implemented [[Woqala of Tierrador|Woqala]] [[Saqula I]] saw this as a challenge to her and Qabór's sovereignty, and promised the situation would be dealt with accordingly. Just one year later, the Saukhin Conquest would begin on May 31, 1832 and would last for twenty-one days. The vast advantage in manpower for Qabór allowed for a swift and easy annexation of the Kingdom. The once-thought invincible [[Fort of Oaroa]] was destroyed in nearly three days, and, on June 25, 1832, the Saukhin Islands were admitted as a qoyalet of Qabór, and in 1917, they would be assigned under the [[Aracadó|Aracadó Commonwealth]]. Wapuhunea was forced to sign the [[Saukhin Charter]] into effect, and while he would remain in power as king of Tapkoii, most of his powers would be stripped in favor of a democratically-elected governor, essentially making the Kingdom a puppet state of Qabór. Today, the Monarch of Tapkoii is still an established position, however, similar to the monarchies of [[Bogocían Monarchy|Bogocía]] and [[Monarchy of Porvaos|Porvaos]], it is clearly a ceremonial position, having absolutely no executive power throughout their respective commonwealths.

The 20th century following the Second Great War stood out as a pivotal and transformative era in Saukhin history, marked by a confluence of political, social, economic, and cultural changes that reshaped the trajectory of the Saukhin people and their islands. The increased production of cash crops such as bananas, cocoa, and oranges. By the 1960s, the commonwealth's agricultural industry would see a massive spike in production and distribution, which resulted in calls for the islands to be upgraded to their own commonwealth. In 1975, Woqali [[Pedro Gomez]] signed into effect the [[Saukhin Integration Act of 1975|Saukhin Integration Act]], which officially upgraded the islands' status from a qoyalet of Aracadó to a commonwealth.
