| | |
| The term '''the Two Derics''' refers to two identically named but separate (though related) debates occurring in the [[Kingdom of Dericania]] in the 19th century. The disputes, largely fought between intellectuals and scholars of the [[Bergendii]] people and [[Derian people]], surrounded questions of national identity and cultural association within the eastern [[Holy Levantine Empire]] and played a crucial role in the [[Fraternal Wars]].
| |
| | |
| The first debate occurred within the nationalist revival during and following the Deric defeat in the [[Third Caroline War]] and considered the question of whether or not the [[Bergendii]] were considered to be part of the Derian people and, accordingly, if they had a role in any "Derian state" to be formed in the future. During this debate, the "maximalist position" - that is, that they ought to be included - was prevalent among most prominent Derian nationalist but was not popular among the Bergendii themselves. The first debate came to a head with [[First_Fratricide#Le_Crise_della_Dix|''Le Crise della Dix'']], a political crisis following the Third Caroline War wherein Bergendii were expected to surrender land to fellow Derian princes in the name of national solidarity. The resulting [[First Fratricide]] established an independent Bergendii nation, [[Burgundie]].
| |
| | |
| The second debate occurred from the 1890s to the 1920s and concerned the construction of the [[Kingdom of Dericania]], which was now largely dominated by [[Burgundie]] and an opposing bloc of Derian princes. The second debate specifically related to whether or not [[Burgundie]] should be a part of Dericania at all or if a united Derian realm could be created out of the Kingdom by separating Burgundie, either by elevating the latter to a Kingdom, making it a nominal part of the [[Imperial Kingdom of Urcea]], by divesting the [[Emperor of the Levantines]] of the Dericanian crown in order to create a single realm, or some combination of the above options. This primarily legal and political debate was not resolved until the [[Second Great War]] and dominated the political discourse of the day in both the Derian realms and [[Burgundie]], leading to the abdication of [[List_of_Emperors_of_the_Levantines#Marius_Dynasty|Emperor August I]] in 1920 among other incidents. The creation of the [[Deric States]] apart from [[Burgundie]] following the [[Third Fratricide]] provided the final resolution to the second Deric question.
