During the first Great War the islands were heavily fortified and used as a naval staging point for many of [[Burgundie]]'s operations in the [[Kindreds Sea]] and against the [[Krasoa Islands]]. As such they were constantly under the threat of invasion from both [[Kiravia]] and [[Caphiria]]. There were many minor naval engagements in the [[Kindreds Sea]] and the [[Catenias]] archipelago.

In the later stages of the [[Second Great War]] a similar dynamic pervaded and the island was once again taken over by the [[Burgoignesc Security Forces]] as well as a staging area for [[Cartadania]]n and [[Pelaxia]]n troops who were moving throughout the theater. The shipwrights were put to work making wooden {{wp|motor torpedo boats}} that became the pride of the [[Navy of Burgundie]] in the area.
 
During [[Operation Kipling]] the islands fell out of focus as [[Equatorial Ostiecia]] became a focus of shipping, troop movements, and ship building. As such, the locals were able to refocus on their cultural identity and as such avoided much the Great Tumult. Port de Vent became a critical agricultural node for the [[Burgoignesc thatalocrassy]] during the 1970s and 80s. In the 1990s the islands suffered under the environmentalist scrutiny of the large-scale, commercial farming techniques. However, the Governor-Epistates turned the scrutiny back on the [[Government of Burgundie]] and was able to get heavy subsidies to invest in greener practices and industry.
