During the [[First Great War]], in [[1899]], Pursat cancelled the reparations debt it owed to [[Burgundie]] in the treaty resolving the [[Emirati War]]. [[Burgundie]] sent a [[Navy of Burgundie|navy flotilla]] to urge the Pursatni's to reconsider, but they refused to meet with the emissary. The [[Army of Burgundie]] formed a {{wp|punitive expedition}}, mostly consisting of Pukhgoignesc Gorkhas of the Burgoignesc Foreign Legion. They Ghorkas were vicious, and the campaign was swift. 6,490 Pursatnieen were killed, three major settlements were taken or destroyed and the government of Pursat was humiliated. They tried to evict the [[Burgundie|Burgoigniacs]] from their concession part and naval station in Konyet in [[1901]], but a subsequent {{wp|punitive expedition}} forced them to keep the pre-war status quo and accept a new reparations agreement. In the interbellum years, Pursat set about a rapid modernization and [[Occidental]]ization of itself with foreign advisors brought in from countries like [[Burgundie]], [[Arcerion]] and [[Yonderre]]. From [[1901]]-[[1936]] the country embarked on a peaceful modernization with heavy investment from [[Burgundie]] who gradually reduced the war reparations in exchange for modernization contracts for its companies. Ancient cities were rebuilt or demolished, and entirely new cities were built along new roadway, rail, and canal infrastructure. The population of Pursat skyrocketed as medicine improved and peasant families were moved into the cities to work at new factories which reduced infant mortality rates by over 50%. | During the [[First Great War]], in [[1899]], Pursat cancelled the reparations debt it owed to [[Burgundie]] in the treaty resolving the [[Emirati War]].

During the second Great War percent and Umar dwal waged a bitter war over a series of oases that they both claimed as they expanded their rail infrastructure across the Great kivir desert. This war called the desert war in percent was part of the larger adonian campaign waged by burgundy. The seasonal nature of the combat between Prasad and Umar dual meant that fighting typically only occurred three months a year when the weather was not so hot. The nascent nature of engine and mechanical technology meant that while Umar dwal had tanks and the persatney military was fairly mechanized neither armies were able to make significant breakthroughs or maneuvers using these technologies in the shifting sands of the Great cavier. By the end of the war the border had remained mostly the same however Umar dwal had exhausted many of prasades manufacturing and financial capabilities and so it is often recorded in the history books that Prasad lost this war. After the second Great War Prasad continued its rampant modernization efforts which was widely disliked by the nomadic populations who were forcibly saddles settled in the 1950s and '60s. This led to a series of low intensity bush war conflicts in the '60s and '70s against modernization and occidentalization that compiled into the greater operation Kipling. | |||
