Bourgondii-Loa Wars

The Bourgondii-Loa Wars were a series of conflicts and trade wars between the Bourgondii Royal Trading Company's colony of Equatorial Ostiecia and the Loa Empire from ~1700-1875. It is considering part of the wider Kiro-Burgoignesc Wars because the Loa Empire was a client state of Kiravia at the time and the Bourgondii Royal Trading Company was using the Loa to aggravate Kiravia. Unlike many other colonial ventures, the Bourgondii Royal Trading Company did not seek to settle in the territory of the Loa Empire but merely to control its international exports outside of the tribute required of Kiravia, to Levantia and Sarpedon. Semi-permanent Bergendii establishments only included factories, trade posts, and customs houses, but there were no settlement expansions beyond these.

First Fratricide

In 1849, Bourgondi and the County Palatine of Estia initiated what would become the First Fratricide, when Bourgondi invaded Estia to quell a workers strike and revolution that was threatening to overthrow the Count Palatine.

Dissolution of the Duchy

In 1853, Duke Pau II ascended the throne of the Principality of Faramount and joined the two nation-states in a real union, the Burgundie-Faramount Union, at which point the Duchy of Bourgondi ceased to exist.

Colonial ventures

The Bourgondii Royal Trading Company established 7 major colonies on behalf of the Duchy of Bourgondi, the largest and most influential being Equatorial Ostiecia:
