Equatorial Ostiecia: Difference between revisions

The '''Odurian War''' was a conflict in [[Vallos]] that led to the final partition of the [[Equatorial Ostiecia#Kingdom%20of%20Oustec|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.
