Like many native Cronite states, the [[Alpachnee Confederation]], which occupied much of northwestern [[Crona]], was a {{wp|weak state}} that had long struggled to balance the competing interests of its many different resident ethnic groups, develop strong political institutions, or sustain reliable economic growth. As the states around the confederation were dismantled and replaced with colonial rumps, Alpachnee elites at first adopted a conciliatory tone to avoid the same fate. However these attempts were rebuffed, with the confederation's territory already being divvied up in secret talks between [[Kiravia]] and [[Daxia]]. Alpachnee's entry into the [[Nysdra Sea Treaty Association|NSTA]] was torpedoed by [[Daxia]]ese diplomacy to prevent it from invoking the organization's mutual defense clause. Alpachnee's diplomatic attempts to gain international attention of its plight at the [[League of Nations]] went mostly ignored, with Daxian representative [[Shang Tsung]] mockingly calling them 'the last pathetic mewling of a terrorist state'. On the 15th of September the Daxian announced a blockade of Alpachnee's western coast ostensibly to combat drug and weapons smuggling. Three days later the Kiravians did the same on the eastern coast. | Like many native Cronite states, the [[Alpachnee Confederation]], which occupied much of northwestern [[Crona]], was a {{wp|weak state}} that had long struggled to balance the competing interests of its many different resident ethnic groups, develop strong political institutions, or sustain reliable economic growth.

After the debellation of [[Nanzitolclatl]] and the establishment of [[Daxia]]ese and [[Kiravian]] colonial administrations on its former territory, some forces loyal to the old regime took refuge in Alpachnee lands, as did anti-colonial militant groups such as the [[Revolutionary Guerrilla Triads|Revolutionary Guerrilla Triads - Eastern Command]]. | ||

Open hostilities broke on October 31st 2020 with [[Daxia]]ese forces striking several Alpachnee military sites with unmanned drones and artillery attacks on border posts. A few hours later Daxian units of the [[Army of Conquest]] and auxiliary forces from [[Chimoche]] began a wholescale offensive into Alpachnee; dubbed '''Operation Spring Clean'''. | Open hostilities broke on October 31st 2020 with [[Daxia]]ese forces striking several Alpachnee military sites with unmanned drones and artillery attacks on border posts.
