Bourgondii-Loa Wars

The Bourgondii-Loa Wars were a series of conflicts and trade wars between the Bourgondii Royal Trading Company's colony of Equatorial Ostiecia and the Loa Empire from ~1700-1875. It is considering part of the wider Kiro-Burgoignesc Wars because the Loa Empire was a client state of Kiravia at the time and the Bourgondii Royal Trading Company was using the Loa to aggravate Kiravia. Unlike many other colonial ventures, the Bourgondii Royal Trading Company did not seek to settle in the territory of the Loa Empire but merely to control its international exports outside of the tribute required of Kiravia, to Levantia and Sarpedon. Semi-permanent Bergendii establishments only included factories, trade posts, and customs houses, but there were no settlement expansions beyond these.

The People's Spring of 1848

The People's Spring of 1848 rocked the nascent establishment to its core. The socialist, anti-monarchist rebellions seeking independent republics of Burgundie, Ultmar and Flordeterra. The wedding of Great Prince Pau II in January of 1848 was so opulent and extravagant that it starved and impoverished many of the poor across Burgundie. Grain stores were expropriated, taxes were raised even further, and many workers were pressed into service to throng the parade route. Unlike his martial and resourceful father Pau I, Pau II was raised to be gentil and refined by his mother Maria-Isabel de Martilles. He was spoiled and reactionary, often choosing to micromanage his problems, regardless of his ability to do so knowledgeably. He was set to become an absolute ruler and the pomp and circumstance that he demanded for his wedding demonstrated that fact.

In the months after the wedding, the starving peasants across Burdeboch and Marves took up arms and raided government storehouses in search of food. The militias from the Isle of Burgundie and Marialanus, as well as the Gendarmes d'elite della Gaurdie Real (Elite Gendarmes of the Royal Guard) for the first time, were mobilized and violently suppressed the peasants.

First Fratricide

In 1849, Bourgondi and the County Palatine of Estia initiated what would become the First Fratricide, when Bourgondi invaded Estia to quell a workers strike and revolution that was threatening to overthrow the Count Palatine.

Dissolution of the Duchy

In 1853, Duke Pau II ascended the throne of the Principality of Faramount and joined the two nation-states in a real union, the Burgundie-Faramount Union, at which point the Duchy of Bourgondi ceased to exist.

Colonial ventures

The Bourgondii Royal Trading Company established 7 major colonies on behalf of the Duchy of Bourgondi, the largest and most influential being Equatorial Ostiecia:
