'''The Sovereignty of Soirwind''' | |||
In the decades after the reestablishment of Levantine control over Soirwind, an unexpected event occurred. The Dominion of Soirwind was given almost complete dejure independence in 1866. The Commonwealth of Fiannria issued a statement declaring the formation of a new Soirwind government to replace the Dominion government, emphasizing that on one end, the Commonwealth would no longer control the political processes in Soirwind, nor control the armed forces, foreign affairs, or internal affairs. As part of the establishment of the soveriegn state, there came the creation of the Treaty of Fiannan-Soirwindic Eternal Friendship and Trust. Which would come to define the relationship between the Levantine state and new Soirwindic state for the years to come. Turning Soiriwing into a soveriegn dependency of Fiannria. The relationship clearly showing the large amount of influence the Fiannans had over the state, but rarely getting involved in Soirwind affairs except when it affected Fiannan interests. | |||
Outside of minor border wars and conflicts, the Sovereignty would remain largely peaceful throughout the rest of the 19th and into the 20th century. However, the state would see its first major military operations in 1935 during the Second Great War. With direction and support from Fiannria itself, Fiannan and Soirwindic forces would be deployed across Burgoignesc holdings in Audonia to bolster its defense. Not only that, but Soirwind would host and some of its pilots join the Fiannan Oriental Air Squadron (FOAS) which would provide crucial air power and superiority in the regions where the force operated. | |||
In the aftermath of the Great War, Soirwind would see itself honored and receive honors from states it supported as well as benefit from monetary support from Fiannria to further its military capacity the support Fiannan and Soirwindic increasing interests and protection from threats in the Audonian region. | |||
'''The Ghelamist Uprising''' | |||
In the waning years of the Occidental Cold War, anti-occidental sentiments had fermented from Operation Kipling, coups, foreign interference, nationalism and perceptions of neo-colonialism within much of Audonia. In Soirwind this culminated in the election of Hermez Ghelamer to the Marshal of Soirwind in February 1994. Hermez Ghelamer was a political outsider in what had been a period of near ninety years of political domination from a few political dynasties who led the entrenched parties. Ghelemer was considered a political upstart and ideological pundit, he was considered a reactionary on the left and a communist on the right, but was consistently a populist, believer in Audonian machismo, nationalism, and ardent anti-occidental. His rise to power led to en masse arrests, political reform and takeovers and a change in economic relationships with the world as Ghelemer sought an autarkist state, free from Fiannria and foreign influence, centered on a Kermelis Nationalist Movement. This movement promoted violence against foreigners and especially Fiannans or those with significant Fiannan ancestry. This culminated in the Siege of the Fiannan Embassy in Catash beginning on April 7th, 1996 which resulted in the Fiannan Military Intervention on April 13th, 1996. | |||
'''The Soirwind Intervention''' | |||
On April 13th, 1996, A fully scale military invasion from Fiannria occured in Soirwind, with a three pronged amphibious and air assualt, targeting Catash, the northern borderlands, and the southern plains of Soirwind. The strike of overwhelming force in the initial invasion threw Soirwind Ghelamist loyalist forces in a full retreat into mountain strongholds and chokepoints. The conflict lasted for three weeks and four days and ended with the capture of Hermez Ghelamer and his closest advisors attempting an escape into Sacatia. This led to a five-year Fiannan occupation of Soirwind to repair damages, restore democratic institutions and rehabilitate the Soirwindic people and its relationship with Fiannria. | |||
