===Invasion of Cetsencalia and war with Varshan=== | ===Invasion of Cetsencalia and war with Varshan=== | ||
The Invasion of Cetsencalia was the [[Varshan|Varshani]] invasion of [[Cetsencalia]] during the [[Final War of the Deluge]]. Launched after the [[Algoquona|Algoquonan]] failure in the [[Tepetlcali Campaign]], Varshan sought to relieve pressure on Algoquona and eject the [[Royal and Imperial Army (Urcea)|Royal and Imperial Army]] from the Varshani border. The invasion happened concurrently with the [[Quetzenkel front|Invasion of Quetzenkel]]. The Varshani forces invaded with more than a million and a half men, overwhelming the initial defenses of Cetsencalia; Urcean and Veltorine defenders reached only about a half a million at the peak of defensive operations. During the fighting, about 44,000 allied soldiers were killed with a larger number captured. The Varshani offensive focused on a thrust up the central plains of Cetsencalia, cutting the Urcean sphere on the south side of the [[Nysdra Sea]] in two, with small portions of the country and adjoining [[Quetzenkel]] to the east and the peninsula of the [[Northern Approaches]] to the west. | |||
Following the invasion, a "Phony War" broke out in [[Algoquona]] as [[Urcea]] began a rapid withdrawal of its forces to face Varshan, while Algoquona could not mobilize sufficient forces to push the Urcean advances back. | Following nearly a half a year of fighting, Varshani forces captured the capital city of Cetsencalia, New Constanz, and induced the Principality's nominal capitulation in September of 2021. After the end of the campaign, Varshan pulled nearly half of its forces back to focus on the ongoing [[Corumm|Corummese]] invasion. The resulting [[Cetsencalia front]] was fought to a stalemate for the remainder of 2021. As a result of the capitulation of the Principality's government, the [[Veltorine Popular Defense Committee]] took up the cause of Veltorine resistance and pledged to continue fighting alongside [[NSTA]] forces. The defeat was the [[Royal and Imperial Army (Urcea)|Royal and Imperial Army]]'s highest profile defeat since the [[Second Great War]]. | ||
