====Annexation of Galib====
The small island of Galib, just off the western shore of Arona, was part of [[Oustec]] at various times throughout its history but broke away during the latter's reform era. The Aronese had long held interest in the island, especially as the nation sought to increase its oceanic access and viability as a trade power. The island, recognized by the [[League of Nations]] as an independent state in [[1951]], was invaded by Arona in [[1958]]. Galib's small military was easily overwhelmed and Arona occupied the entire island within a month. The invasion drew mass condemnation but the League was ultimately unable to intervene due to the influence of [[Urcea]] on the [[League of Nations Security Council]]. While Urcea's protection of Arona solidified the relations between the protector and protectorate, it had a gravely negative impact on Urcea's perception abroad during the [[Occidental Cold War]]
