The increased militarization of Eastern Asteria, closest to the border between Tierrador, was a major cause for concern within the Woqalate. On October 6, 1974, Qaphenć Daniel W.K. Šaphiana announced the revocation of Tierradorian recognition of Asteria as a sovereign nation, known as "Šaphiana's Revocation." The almost-random political move sent shockwaves throughout both nations, along with striking a large wave of uncertainty throughout the rest of South Crona. Šaphiana cited the heavy mistreatment of native Cronans, specifically the ethnic [[Winnecom people]], as the main reason behind this move. For the next five years, the city would be the site of many armed skirmishes taking place between personnel from the [[Tulangia State Patrol]], [[Tierradorian Defense Forces|TDF]], and the [[Asterian Defense Forces|ADF]]. Because of this, Winnecomac would become one of the most dangerous cities in South Crona, eventually causing a mass exodus of over 70,000 people moving out of the city. Eventually, on December 7, 1978, exactly one year before the outbreak of the Cowboy Crisis, Gomez and Holcomb would meet in [[Concordia]], [[Asteria]] to discuss a peaceful resolution to the constant skirmishes. These discussions somewhat deescalated the situation, as both nations agreed to demilitarize certain areas of Winnecomac. | |||
Following the demilitarization of Winnecomac, Asteria would impose economic sanctions on Tierrador, claiming that the TDF and TSP initially refused to pull out of Winnecomac even after the demilitarization talks in Concordia. Governor Lamaqal attempted to reassure the Asterian government that the TSP personnel were in their designated areas, only leaving by accident or for leisure. In the fall of 1979, the ADF would deploy personnel back into Winnecomac. This placed tensions between both nations at the highest they have been since before the Concordia meeting. At this point, armed conflict had become inevitable, with both nations increasing the military presence on each side of the border. Eventually, on December 7, 1979, the first Asterian troops would cross over the border into Tulangia, officially declaring war on Tierrador. | |||
