The movement for [[Nahe Unification]] had been a constant issue since the [[Nahe Renaissance]] from 1517 to 1650 during the [[Protestant Reformation]] of that period. Seeking unification, new Protestant states feared the intervention of Catholic nations, and they formed the [[Nahe Confederation]] in 1611. These attempts at unification lasted for over a century, with the Protestanr [[Kingdom of Grunwald]] and the Catholic [[Kingdom of Schiern]] waging war for dominance over Nahe. Ultimately, after a series of armed conflicts, [[Jonas IV Lindstrom]], King of Rosenwald, established the [[Kingdom of Nahe]] in 1786. A full unification, however, would not take place until 1803 when [[Aurick I Lindstrom]], King of Nahe, conquered Schiern and brought together all ethnic Naheans. His rule from 1797 to 1853 was instrumental, the [[Aurick Reforms]] in 1822 establishing the confederal system and the five regions of Nahe, which are [[Nordmark]], [[Alpen]], [[Schiern]], [[Ostmark]], and [[Grunwald]], as well as autonomous cities such as cultural centers like [[Varena]] and [[Sonnay]], economic centers such as [[Vorsenke]], and political centers such as [[Brenna]]. The reforms also established the constitutional monarchy, which was a mainstay for over a century. | The movement for [[Nahe Unification]] had been a constant issue since the [[Nahe Renaissance]] from 1517 to 1650 during the [[Protestant Reformation]] of that period.

However, after a century of proud militarism and a rise of nationalism, Nahe fought two devastating wars. The [[Tretek War]] from 1914 to 1917 saw further democratic reforms in Nahe and a near-collapse of the monarchy, while [[Covina]], a longtime rival of Nahe, fell into a socialist revolution and its royal family forced into exile. This draw built up more tensions between the new nations, and in 1927, [[Karl Mueller]], a popular military commander and ardent nationalist, seized power with the blessing of [[Otto II Lindstrom]], King of Nahe. In 1942, the [[Covina War]] started with Nahe's invasion of the country. Although initially a success, the smaller Nahean force was worn down, and on May 2, 1945, with Mueller removed from power weeks earlier, [[Matthias I Lindstrom]], a young and new ruler, surrendered as Covine forces were bearing down on Brenna. This started the [[Covine Occupation of Nahe]], which lasted for four years. On June 8, 1946, Matthias I Lindstrom abdicated and left the country as the [[Treaty of Heneufels]] decided the fate of the country. | However, after a century of proud militarism and a rise of nationalism, Nahe fought two devastating wars.

The monarchy was formally abolished and the nobility exiled, while a new socialist system of government was installed. Nahean sovereignty was guaranteed, but it came at the cost of being a servant of Covina. | ||
On August 15, 1949, the [[Nahe Republic]] was established. Devastated by the previous conflict, a socialist government was installed with the backing of Covina. However but the [[Sontenburg Miracle]] of the 1960s, sometimes called the [[Nahe Miracle]], saw a rapid economic growth for the country. Cities such as Vorsenke became major centers of trade, while industrial cities such as [[Sontenburg]], [[Errenfeld]], [[Pfinz]], created one of the stronger economies in Levantia. Consumer goods and heavy industry, mixed with a democratic tradition, created a social democratic society that enjoyed vast economic prosperity.

In the [[Revolution of 1992]] the socialist system was overhauled with a social democratic state, although many of the aesthetics of the previous era remain, as well as the dominant-party system of government. Despite this era of democratization and an end to the police state, many have criticized the country for its opposition to extensive immigration, and a recent rise of nationalism, as well as Nahe's involvement in Covina after the collapse of the country in 1991 and the support of numerous breakaway regions. Despite this, many credit these policies for maintaining continuous economic growth, democratic traditions, regional stability, and domestic prosperity. | ||
