  • Background and Causes

    Second Kin War and the Saelish Issue

    FIannria and Faneria had mutually agreed to break up the crusader state of Saelin in 1745 as part of the Saelish Partition. In this deal, Saelin had become a neutral rump state along the Nordskan coast, while Fiannria had taken parts of the more heavily populated and forested eastern coast and Faneria had annexed large swathes of less-desirable territory in the drier continental interior. After the Second Kin War, the two nations had accepted a white peace, but Faneria had annexed the remainder of Saelin immediately thereafter. Faneria reaching the Nordska coast was a strategic coup, as it allowed some measure of bypassing Caeric taxes on the Kilikas-Nordskan Straights and effectively cut Fiannria off from integrating the region as planned. After the Second Kin War failed to counter Faneria's annexation of Culriocha, Fiannria had suffered two major geopolitical setbacks in the Eighteenth Century at Faneria's hands.


    For its part, Faneria continued to grow as a regional power, with Fhainnin expansion seemingly unstoppable and pro-war politics at a fever pitch. The major target of the Kingdom's ire at this point was in the eastern Vandarch-bound territory of Costbán. Costbán was the last part of the northern Vandarch not controlled by Faneria and a sore spot in Fhainnin culture as far back as its annexation by Great Levantia in the Gallian Wars. While Fiannria had since assumed control of Costbán, Faneria still considered it theirs by right both through a large Fhainnin minority and by geographic sense.

    Commonwealth of Fiannria

    The second major cause of conflict was more telated to the nature of Fiannria itself. Having reformed into a more united Commonwealth, Fiannria posed a significant challenger to Fhainnin security and expansion, and breaking this new state in psyche or fact was considered a key step to continued Fhainnin ascendancy in northern Levantia.

    Aftermath

    In Culture

    The Third Kin War was a high-water mark for the Royal Army and the Fhainnin state in general, breaking it out from a rising regional power to the ranks of the major empires. It also inspired the first tentative attempts at overseas Fhainnin colonies and made retired Royal Army officers a highly-sought source of military aides and attachés.
