During the [[War of the Northern Confederation]], the hundreds-year old Northern Confederation collapsed under the weight of internal division and military intervention from Urcea. The Confederation ceased functioning in the spring of 2010, but Algoquona - one of the primary constituents of the Confederation - claimed legal succession of the Confederation. Algoquona kept fighting until July 2010, when its forces were ejected from Cheektowaga, after which time both sides agreed to a ceasefire. Peace negotiations began on 15 July 2010 at [[Electorsbourg]], and Urcean negotiators initially tried to obtain a formal peace ''{{wp|Uti possidetis}}'', or based on the borders currently held by both sides. Algoquona used the negotiation time to establish hegemony over most of the remaining tribes of the former Confederation, using diplomacy and, allegedly, military action, so much so that by 2011 most of the Northern Confederation had been incorporated into the newly reformed Federal State of Algoquona. Urcean negotiators considered this a breach of good faith and a violation of the principles Algoquonan negotiators had been pressing - namely that of self-determination. The Royal and Imperial Army was again mobilized in New Harren as negotiations nearly broke down, but both sides agreed to mediation by [[ | During the [[War of the Northern Confederation]], the hundreds-year old Northern Confederation collapsed under the weight of internal division and military intervention from Urcea.

Urcea had three primary goals for the treaty at the beginning of negotiations, the paramount of which was a formal end to the War of the Northern Confederation and gradual demilitarization of [[New Harren]] in order to allow for economic development of the Kingdom. Their second goal was a permanent border solution with regards to Algoquona and New Harren, and the third goal was guarantees of protection of various Catholic missions in the arctic north of the country which had existed for hundreds of years. Algoquona had two primary goals, the first of which was recognition of Algoquona as the formal legal successor of the Northern Confederation, and the second of which was a provision to give Algoquona diplomatic and legal protection from Urcea. Most of these goals were amenable to the other party, but the central issue dividing negotiators was the repercussions of recognizing Algoquona as successor of the Northern Confederation; the latter wanted to be recognized as the legitimate government over the entirety of the Confederation, which problematically included the territory now part of New Harren. Urcea rejected the successor clause during negotiations several times, but finally reached a breakthrough in the mid-summer of 2012 as Carnish mediators successfully convinced Algoquona to formally recognize New Harren as no longer an "integral part of the Northern Confederation", which allowed Urcea the flexibility to recognize the legal succesison. | Urcea had three primary goals for the treaty at the beginning of negotiations, the paramount of which was a formal end to the War of the Northern Confederation and gradual demilitarization of [[New Harren]] in order to allow for economic development of the Kingdom.
