=== Prehistory ===

Archaeological evidence suggests that humans have lived in present-day Kandara since the Bronze Age. Although the area of present-day Kandara in Southern Punth has experienced many population movements, the Kana people were firmly settled by the 5th century BC.

=== Medieval kingdoms ===

Until the 9th century, the majority of modern Kandara's territorial area was largely unoccupied and uninhabited by humans. The one exception was the Kana people who established permanent farming communities on the Kandoosi River Delta around the 6th century. These communities were not connected by any form of hierarchy and spent most of time farming the fending off raiders.

In 612, traders from the Kuushtun trade empire first arrived in the Kandoosi River Delta. They introduced many concepts of state building to the Kana peoples living in that area. Many historians believe the Kuushtuns inspired the creation of the Kandooli states. The Kuushtuns introduced Buddhism to the Kana people and advanced technologies like metallurgy, wheels, agriculture and cloth weaving. With the collapse of the Kushtuns, in the early 700s, no further communication was made between the Kuushtun and the peoples of the Kandoosi river delta.

The Kandooli River Delta civilization thrived with these technologies. Their formalized governmental concepts and improved health, paved the way for an expansion in the territory of the Kanas of the Kandoosi River Delta. By the ninth century it is generally recognized as one of the great kingdoms in Southern Punth.

The earliest known kingdoms to emerge in modern Kandara were the Kandooli states. With their advanced weapons and the presence of a central authority they easily invaded and occupied the lands of the local people ruled by the ''Kumara'' (royal prince), established themselves as rulers over them and made Kandoor their capital. The death of the central chief, Fana Sooli, caused civil war among his children, some of whom broke off and founded separate states including Sooli, Kandooli, Fanooli, and Santasi.

=== <span id="&quot;Western&quot;_contact_(16th_century)"></span>"Western" contact (16th century) ===

Kanan trade with "Western" states began after contact with Kiravians in the 15th century. Kiravians came to the Gulf of Kandara in the late 15th century to trade, then established small trading ports, focused on the extensive availability of gold. The Kiravians built a trading lodge at a coastal settlement called Bisoor, in the Kingdom of Sooli.

By 1598, the Burgundian West Punth Trading Company (BWPTC) had joined the Kiravians in gold trading, establishing the Burgundian Guldkusten. In 1600, the BWPTC captured the castle at Bisoor from the Kiravians, and the port of Kandoor in 1603. In 1604, Jarl II, of Burgundie commissioned Kandoor Castle, which was completed in three years.

More than thirty forts and castles were built by the Kiravians and the Burgundian West Punth Trading Company. In 1611, the BWPTC established control over some parts of the country assigning these areas the name Protectorate of the Kingdom of Kandoora. Many military engagements occurred between the BWPTC and the various Kanan nation-states and the Kingdom of Santasi defeated the Burgundians twice in the Kandoori-Santasi wars that lasted for nearly 200 years. These successes are attributed to the birth of the idea of independence which ultimately led to the Great Rebellion of Slavery Bay.

The Pukhtun PPSN, that was already established in the Kandooli states, resented the new arrivals but for the most part remained in the shadows guiding the Kanan tribes and states to fight for them. They would raid Kiravian and Burgundian ships while local tribal collaborators would raid their settlements. For a long time the new arrivals suspected that the Kanans were supported by outside forces but they never knew who until PPSN openly fought together with the Santasi in the Great Rebellion of Slavers Bay.

=== Kandoori-Fana wars and slaving ===

Burgundian West Punth Trading Company goes to war with neighboring tribes, takes slaves, encourages Kandoora to do the same, expands lands of Kandoora, the BWPTC takes over Kiravian territory and renames it Slavers Coast, defeats the Santasi Coalition Army and takes Santasi (Colony of Santasi). The leadership of Santasi flea to the neighboring Kingdom of Fana and continue to fight and stir up rebellion.

=== Great Rebellion of Slavery Bay ===

On 6 March 1757 at the capital of the Kingdom of Fana, Fanoor, the King-in-exile of Santasi, raises a Third Coalition Army and prepares to wage a "Final War" to push the Burgundian West Punth Trading Company out of southern Punth. Having realized the failure of many of his ancestors, he recruitS as many Kanans from Kandoor as he can and promises them a free state under local control if they get the nation to rise against the Burgundians. They infiltrate into Kandoor and begin to stir up the local population.

In the 1760s and 1770s a series of pitched sea battles took place, eventually ending in the utter defeat of the Burgundian West Punth Trading Company's navy. The colony was cut off. From 1778-1795 not a single resupply was attempted and the colonial administration was left to their own devices. A series of attempts to get the Fiannrian government to intervene on the BWPTC's behalf were declined.

 

=== Kandhara Post-Independence ===

Free and Independent State of Kandhara, was formed January 15th 1795 under the King of Santasi. Because of their wartime agreement, exclusive access to Kandharan trade meant that the PPSN were now able to export exotic goods that no one else had access to and their tribes in Pukhtunkhwa became very rich. This lead to increased funding to build better ships and thus increased the power of PPSN who dominated trade in the region until the Burgundians returned in the mid 1800s. But after King Fanoos his descendants were mostly trained by Pukhtuns so they slowly lost their power and became puppets for the PPSN.
