The [[Odurian War]] of [[1858]]-[[1859]], sparked by [[Caphiria]]'s intervention in the rump state of the [[Kingdom of Oustec]], saw [[New Burgundie]] and its metropole, now the [[History_of_Burgundie#Burgundie-Faramount_Union|Burgundie-Faramount Union]], drawn into a conflict that ultimately resulted in the partition of [[Oustec]] and the annexation of the northern territories into the growing Burgoignesc realm, now known as [[Flordeterre]]. This conflict, while devastating, further solidified [[New Burgundie]]'s strategic importance and its role as a regional contender.

The aftermath of the [[Odurian War]] set the stage for the [[New Burgundie Secession War]] of [[1870]]-[[1873]]. Fueled by a complex interplay of socio-economic grievances, political aspirations, and a burgeoning sense of national identity, the colonists rose in rebellion against their [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc overlords]]. Despite their eventual defeat, the war marked a turning point in the colony's history. The recognition of [[New Burgundie]] as a home rule constituent country within [[The Burgundies]] was a significant concession, paving the way for the emergence of modern Equatorial Ostiecia.

~~===Late modern period===~~

As the [[Burgoignesc Colonial Empire]] collapsed in the early 1800s a massive influx of [[Bergendii]] colonists from [[Audonia]] sought refuge. As they had been dismissed from [[Levantine]] for being Protestant in the first place, they were not welcomed back to the [[Burgoignesc Metropole]].

They were rerouted, en masse to Equatorial Ostiecia were the population exploded from about 27,000 [[Occidental]]s in 1800 to about 450,000 by the 1850s. The colony saw an explosive period of urbanization and industrialization of farming to accommodate the seemingly endless tidal wave of people.

Because this was occurring during the industrial revolution there was period during the [[First Fratricide]] where Equatorial Ostiecia was more advanced than the [[Burgoignesc Metropole]]. Because the colony wants bound up in medieval infrastructure and political baggage it was able to adopt new ideas and technologies immediately.

This is also the period when the primacy of property rights, self-reliance, embracing innovation, and a frontier mentality took hold in Equatorial Ostiecia that still permeates it's culture today. The concepts of {{wpl|Yankee ingenuity|Equitorioise ingenuity}} and {{wpl|Yankee stoicism|Equitorioise stoicism}} were born of this period.

====Odurian War====

Main article: [[Odurian War]]

The '''Odurian War''' was a conflict in [[Vallos]] that led to the final partition of the Kingdom of [[Oustec]]. The war began ostensibly as an intervention into Oustec by [[Caphiria]] to protect the community of Latin-speaking cities there. The unification of [[Burgundie]] created it as a strong, [[Levantia|Levantine]] colonial power with [[Equatorial Ostiecia|extensive possessions]] bordering Oustec. Its presence sparked a period of fear and panic in Caphiria regarding [[Levantine Creep]] and the fate of the Latins in the country. The sudden invasion of eastern Oustec on 18 March [[1858]] prompted a counter-invasion of the rest of the country by Burgundie in July, fearing that Caphiria might annex the entire rump Kingdom. In August, the estranged [[Arona#Provincial%20history|Harounan Province]] declared independence from the crumbling Oustec state and sought protection from [[Urcea]], whose forces in [[New Archduchy]] were well positioned to arrive at the Harounan Province in a timely manner. The Oustec, unable to resist invasion from three sides, pulled most of their forces back to their inland capital city of Oduria. Oduria was besieged by Burgoignesc forces for much of [[1859]] before finally falling towards the end of the year. The conflict threatened to escalate into a general conflict involving the three Occidental powers before [[Kiravia]] brokered a peace.
