The Bourgondii-Loa Wars were a series of conflicts and trade wars between the [[Burgoignesc_South_Levantine_Trading_Company#Bourgondii-Loa_Wars|Bourgondii Royal Trading Company's]] colony of [[Equatorial Ostiecia]] and the [[Loa Empire]] from ~1700-[[1875]]. | The Bourgondii-Loa Wars were a series of conflicts and trade wars between the [[Burgoignesc_South_Levantine_Trading_Company#Bourgondii-Loa_Wars|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 [[Burgoignesc_South_Levantine_Trading_Company|Bourgondii Royal Trading Company]] was using the Loa to aggravate [[Kiravia]]. Unlike many other colonial ventures, the [[Burgoignesc_South_Levantine_Trading_Company|Bourgondii Royal Trading Company]] did not seek to settle in the territory of the [[Takatta Loa|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 {{wpl|Factory (trading post)|factories}}, trade posts, and customs houses, but there were no settlement expansions beyond these. | ||
Despite positive and construction beginnings, the Bourgondii-Loa Trade deal turned sour and into a war when the Loa found out that the Bergendii were suppressing the sale of Loa silk and were besmirching it as lesser quality than that of the [[Bergendii]] controlled Silk Road in [[Audonia]]. Silk bring integral to the Loa culture and the silkworm being a sacred animal, the Loa tried to pull out of the deal but the [[Bergendii]] aggressively enforced their original terms for the next 175 years. | |||

The first contact between [[Loa]] and the [[Bergendii]] occurred in the mid-17th century when the [[Bergendii]] were fighting the [[Oustec]] and charting [[Vallos]]. These explorers arrived in Loa's Imperial harbors and the Empire saw this as an opportunity to expand its trade networks. In the latter decades of the 1600s, trade relations were relatively harmonious. Loa's exotic goods such as pearls, tropical fruits, and handicrafts were highly sought after by the [[Levantia|Levantines]], who offered valuable [[Occidental]] and [[Audonia]]n goods in return. | The first contact between the [[Loa]] and the [[Bergendii]] occurred in the mid-17th century when the [[Bergendii]] were fighting the [[Oustec]] and charting [[Vallos]].

As the [[Burgoignesc_South_Levantine_Trading_Company|Bourgondii Royal Trading Company]] expanded its presence in the Polynesian Sea, resource exploitation became a pressing issue. Natural resources, including timber and marine life, were overexploited, leading to economic degradation of key Loa markets and the ever-increasing pressure to buy and sells slaves were not viewed kindly by the Loa. Additionally, cultural misunderstandings and clashes began to surface. The [[Bergendii]] merchants brought their own customs, religion, and philosophical systems, which often clashed with the traditions and beliefs of the Loa people and state. | As the [[Burgoignesc_South_Levantine_Trading_Company|Bourgondii Royal Trading Company]] expanded its presence in the Polynesian Sea, resource exploitation became a pressing issue.

The Battle of Tauriva Bay, fought in [[1798]], was one of the earliest significant clashes between the Loa Empire and the [[Burgoignesc_South_Levantine_Trading_Company|Bourgondii Royal Trading Company]]. It took place near the shores of Tauriva Bay, a strategic location for both parties due to its proximity to rich fishing grounds and trade routes. | The Battle of Tauriva Bay, fought in [[1798]], was one of the earliest significant clashes between the Loa Empire and the [[Burgoignesc_South_Levantine_Trading_Company|Bourgondii Royal Trading Company]].

The battle was enjoined when Loa warriors ambushed a [[Bergendii]] trading convoy near Tauriva Bay. The ensuing naval engagement saw canoes and [[Bergendii]] trading ships locked in fierce combat. Loa warriors, known for their maritime skills and knowledge of local currents, used guerrilla tactics to their advantage. | The battle was enjoined when Loa warriors ambushed a [[Bergendii]] trading convoy near Tauriva Bay.

In [[1875]], the newly unified country of [[Burgundie]] sought to reset relations with the [[Takatta Loa|Loa Empire]] and have a fresh start. Both sides met in Farpoint, [[Paulastra]] and agreed to cease hostilities immediately and for [[Burgundie]] to cease meddling in [[[[Takatta Loa|Loa]] imperial affairs.

Both sides met in Farpoint, [[Paulastra]] and agreed to cease hostilities immediately and for [[Burgundie]] to cease meddling in [[[[Takatta Loa|Loa]] imperial affairs. The Treaty of Farpoint was signed on July 9th, [[1875]]. However, on the return voyage, a minor naval rebellion meant that upon arriving in Loa territory the imperial flagship was met with unexpected rocket and cannon fire, resulting in the sinking of the vessel and the deaths of [[Káámarakatu Kantirao|Empress Kantirao]] as well as her heir. | ||
