During the 50ish years of [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] ownership, the predominant event that characterized this period of Eilaeda's history was the [[Second Great War]] and the [[Second Fratricide]], from [[1934]] to [[1943]]. It loomed large over [[Government of Burgundie]]'s interaction with the locals. The latter half of the 1910s was focused on updating fortifications and port facilities. During the 1920s {{wpl|Cassava}}, tropical hardwood, especially {{wpl|Mahogany}}, and {{wpl|sugarcane}} cultivation and harvesting was industrialized. The 1930s and 40s were obviously focused on the prosecution of the Second Great War. The island was garrisoned with a small contingent of coastal defense troops but was otherwise left to its own devices. It served as an important coaling and dispatch station until the end of the war, but was never the focus of any focused action. | |||
In the aftermath of the [[Second Great War]] Eileada was a remote outpost of the much-reduced [[Equitorial Ostiecia]] and continued to be left to its own devices. In the 50s and 60s the island became more of a backwater and less of an asset to the Burgoignesc crown. With rapid expansion of the wars in [[Alshar]] and [[Audonia]] that would later become [[Operation Kipling]], [[Burgundie]] welcomed an offer from [[Faneria]] to buy the island back in [[1967]], the formal handover taking place at the close of the federal fiscal year Sept 30, [[1968]]. | |||
