For thousands of years the Cape was home to various indigenous peoples, however, beginning in the 1600s, Cartadanian and Kiravian explorers began to settle the eastern coast of the country. A variety of independence movements and conflicts would mar the expanding colonies and dominions throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. Following a multiethnic war of independence led by [[Melvyn Kalma]] and the nascent [[Republican Nationalist Party]], the nation gained independence as the first democracy on the continent proper of Crona in 1871. As a result the Cape today is a multiethnic and multicultural society, with a majority of the population having mixed ancestry between the country's three primary ethnic groups, [[Kiravian]], [[Cartadanian]], and [[Cronan]]. | For thousands of years the Cape was home to various indigenous peoples, however, beginning in the 1600s, Cartadanian and Kiravian explorers began to settle the eastern coast of the country.
