Vachena: Difference between revisions

From antiquity through the early medieval period, Vachena was inhabited by a [[Taineans|Tainean people]] referred to today as proto-Vachenans. The Kingdom of Vachena was founded by seaborne raiding parties from [[Gothica]] in the 11th century. For many centuries Vachena was primarily associated with the maritime peoples surrounding the [[Odoneru Ocean]] and developed a large number of coastal trading ports. In 1474, [[Caphiria]] conquered Vachena within three months as a result of the Battle of Cicero Plateau. The Province of Vachena (Provincia Vachetania) was formed and formed a close relationship with neighboring [[Cartadania]] - also a [[Caphiria]]n province - during the period of occupation. The country regained independence in 1833 during the romantic era as a Republic. The Republic was eventually overthrown by a military junta which lasted from 1909 until the end of Vachena's independence in the Great War. After the war, the country was annexed by [[Cartadania]].

After being wrought with sociopolitical issues and conflict, a period of rapid economic growth occurred in the beginning of the 20th century while the new military government greatly improved national infrastructure, governance, and social services. Prior to the Great War, it was a major exporter of machines, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and automobiles.
