Tensions rose in 1934. While the [[Great War]] was kicking off and devastating other parts of the world, Stenza was neutral and had finally accumulated enough naval power to take a stance on the Sudmoll affair. After being sufficiently pressured by the fishing industry, the Stenzan Navy's '''2nd Squadron''', which at the time consisted of four destroyers and a light cruiser, set out to Sudmoll with a marine division in tow on December 13th, 1934. This force, which intended to take Sudmoll and absorb it into the collective, was initially successful in its mission. Only token Burgoignesc resistance was met, with only a [[List of aviso classes of the Navy of Burgundie|Chiondi class Aviso]] standing in the way of the Stenzan naval force. The Aviso was sunk during a brief naval battle, after which the Stenzan fleet steamed ahead with the intention of landing the marines. | Tensions rose in 1934.

The invasion would have meant Stenza's entry into the Great War if it were not for the alarming warning from within the Party that taking Sudmoll might mean facing the wrath of not just Burgundie, but also its allies. Stenzan military leadership was promptly ordered to cancel the assault, and the fleet returned home with Sudmoll in sight. This brief state of conflict set the stage for future clashes to follow. | The invasion would have meant Stenza's entry into the Great War if it were not for the alarming warning from within the Party that taking Sudmoll might mean facing the wrath of not just Burgundie, but also its allies.
