Burgophobia: Difference between revisions

Burgophobia was particularly noteworthy during [[The Fraternal Wars]] in [[Dericania]]. Among [[Derian people]], the [[Bergendii]] gained a reputation for treachery and violence following the [[First Fratricide]]. It entered a sharp decline following the conclusion of the [[Great War]].

During the period of the [[Recess of the Julii]], the [[Bergendii]] were viewed by most [[Urcean people]] as deceitful and treacherous merchants. Bergendii were seen as the "coastal pirate savage" relative of the [[Derian people]], especially following Bergendii naval action during the [[Second Caroline War]]. Burgophobia in Urcea during the 19th century also took on a religious character as the Bergendii were often depicted as Crypto-Protestants. Burgophobia gradually receded following [[Burgundie]]'s pro-[[House de Weluta|de Weluta]] participation in the [[Red Interregnum]] and mostly evaporated during the [[Great War]], in which [[Urcea]] and [[Burgundie]] made up the core membership of allied forces. Since the war, [[Urcea]] and [[Burgundie]] have been considered the closest ally of the other, and both were founding members of the [[Levantine Union]] and [[Levantia and Odoneru Treaty Association]].

While contemporary Burgophobia in Kiravia is for the most part subsumed into the pervasive general [[Anti-Westernism in Kiravia|Anti-Occidental sentiment]] in that country, specific antipathy towards Burgundie was historically quite strong, owing to the two countries' centuries of military, commercial, and colonial rivalry for control of Ixnay's oceans, exemplified by the [[Kiro-Burgundian Wars]]. Today, the most visible displays of Burgophobia are related to the ongoing territorial dispute between Burgundie and Kiravia over the island of [[Wintergen]].
