Mosquito War

The Mosquito War (Tierradorian: Gerráq le Mosqítan) was a conflict which lasted from November 13, 1965, to the Dalton Accords in Alstin on August 7, 1970. The conflict mostly took place in Instrenya, however spillovers in Malentina and parts of northern Tierrador occurred. It is considered to be the second of the four G.W.S. Wars and a pivotal point in Tierrador's participation in the Occidental Cold War. The war was fought between Tierrador, led by Pedro Gomez, and Istrenya, led by newly-implemented leader Woko'eli Koko. The war is widely considered as a Proxy war, and lasted four years and three months, officially ending in 1970, by ruling of the Dalton Accords. This war was one of the costliest and most negatively-influential wars in Tierradorian history, spawning several domestic movements by Tierradorian civilians.

The Mosquito War was believed to have been caused by the various conflicts of interests between the Gomez-led Tierrador and Koko-led Istrenya. Several attacks on farmers and small communities in midwestern Tierrador added on to the anti-Istrenyan sentiment that was rampant across Tierrador. More will be added later.

Dalton Accords

Main article: Dalton Accords

The Mosquito War upset the status quo in Southern Crona, as the conflict threatened to escalate into wider war in the Songun and spurred one of the largest refugee crises in Cronan history; Both facets made worse as the conflict ground to a statemate by the start 1969. As a result, the war served as a direct antecedent of the 1970 Dalton Accords, the impetus for the talks came when United Republic President Jonathan Harper invited both Gomez and Koko, as well as Arcer Prime Minister Kian Fleming to a summit at Joint Base Hudson-Livengood near Dalton, Daltonland to negotiate a final peace. The talks took place between 4 March and 26 May 1970. Ultimately, the talks succeeded, and all-belligerent parties signed the Treaty of Dalton on 7 June 1970.
