Puertego: Difference between revisions

Line 71:

The Nokotan empire ruled over the area of modern Puertego starting from 510 and operated as a theocracy for the empire's religion, they were primarily a land focused empire though they began to focus more on the sea as time progressed and their capacity for ship building increased with a distinct merchant class forming in the empire due to this and the empire colonizing three of the islands closest to them. The merchants in the empire were the first to discover the First Imperium of Caphiria and began trading with them for almost 100 years, however all this came to an end in 854 where according to official records a sugar merchant in Nokotan got into an argument with a Caphirian merchant over the price of his goods that ended with the Caphirian merchant being stabbed to death, Caphiria demanded Nokotan hand over the merchant who did this but they refused leading to an all-out war between the two powers which ended with Nokotan being conquered by Caphiria along with the capital being sacked and the country gaining the name Puerto Negro from anti-slavery advocates in Caphiria. The Latin conquest of the area came with severe social and political upheaval for the country with cultural shock in regard to things such as traditions and language which started being forced onto the population of the region, their political system was also turned over as the previous theocracy was dismantled and an upper class of landowners took the place of the church in society and made use of the newly abundant source of slaves made available. This system of rule by Caphiria only lasted for around 40 years with the collapse of the empire allowing Puertego to break away from it in multiple small states which fought with and raided each other for decades, the region was conquered once again by Caphiria during the rule of the third imperium which almost completely washed away the old religion and instilled deeply traditional Catholicism into the population which made them very prone to reacting harshly during the Great Schism with Puertegans starting lynch mobs and burning down churches from the Church of Caphiria enough to provoke a military crackdown from the empire starting a war between the two entities which ended with Puertego gaining its independence from Caphiria in 1616 only to almost immediately get conquered by Pelaxia.

===Third era===

Under the rule of the Pelaxians much improved in Puertego with many of the infrastructure the country uses originally being built by them but much also stayed the same for many with their landlords controlling wielding massive political and economic influence over them and generally being considered to be above the law. There were many attempts by the Pelaxian government to fix these issues later on in their reign such as them illegalizing slavery in 1798 and attempting land distribution to the peasants in the early 1800's both of which were extremely unpopular with the rich landowner class who repeatedly protested these actions and tried everything in their power to stop them from going through as effectively as they should have. After several attempted labor reforms, the rich landowner class of Puertego decided they had enough and stoked fear in the very conservative population spreading false claims that the Pelaxian government wanted to integrate Puertegan natives into society and get rid of the Catholic church from the country, on top of this they repeatedly provoked responses from the government which devolved into violence making the population desire separation from the Pelaxian government more. This eventually exploded into full blown rebellion against the government after protests in San Lina broke out and the police force opened fire on them killing 40 people, this finally sparked a full on revolution among the population first in San Lina but quickly spreading among almost the entire region except for the northernmost state that's closest to Pelaxia staying loyal to them.

The Puertegan rebel forces were lead by Antonio Gonzalez who almost immediately began to order his soldiers to raid federal armories and fortify San Lina, only a few days afterwards Pelaxian soldiers made a landing only a few miles away from San Lina and were met just outside the city by a Puertegan army led by general Fernando Sanchez ending in a phyrric victory for the Pelaxian forces who did manage to capture San Lina and held it for a week and four days before an even larger Puertegan army showed up led by Antonio Gonzalez and retook the city from the weakened army. In the Eastern regions of Puertego the rebel forces immediately began launching attacks on loyalist towns and villages across the Pelaxian-Puertegan border prompting a response from the army to cross across the border and try to engage the rebel forces who retreated from them and utilized scorched earth tactics on the land they were retreating from, once the Pelaxian army crossed into rebel occupied territory they faced fierce resistance from the locals making them turn back only to find that the rebel army attacked them when they did so ambushing the tired and disoriented army and beating them. These defeats prompted the Pelaxian government to give Puertego independence except for the one island that stayed loyal to Pelaxia which was absorbed into their territory.
