In the period between the [[Conquest of Joanusterra]] and the [[Yonderian Golden Age]], Yonderre witnessed three major civil wars all of which were either based on or heavily influenced by cultural tension between the (typically) Gothic peasantry and the mostly Bergendii clergy and nobility. The first of these was the [[First Potato War]] which broke out in 1556. The war was named as such for the laws in effect at the time that forbade the growing of potatoes in Yonderre by the Gothic peasantry, but in reality the war is more likely an off-shoot of the concurrent [[Great Confessional War]]. The rebellion was struck down handily by the [[Knights of the Realm]] under [[Joanus II de Donne]] in 1557 who subsequently further limited the freedom and rights of the peasantry. | In the period between the [[Conquest of Joanusterra]] and the [[Yonderian Golden Age]], Yonderre witnessed three major civil wars all of which were either based on or heavily influenced by cultural tension between the (typically) Gothic peasantry and the mostly Bergendii clergy and nobility.

Yonderre was the main combatant of the [[Likedealers]] during the [[Golden Age of Vandarch Piracy]] in the late 18th century, policing the south [[Vandarch]]. The Likedealers were a loosely organized guild of pirates whose operations greatly affected maritime trade in both the [[Kestrel Isles]] and on the coasts of the greater [[Vandarch]]. The scourge of the Likedealers was finally brought to an end in a battle in 1785 that became known as the [[Last stand of the Likedealers]], in which the [[Marine Yonderre]] managed to entrap and destroy the Likedealers' leadership. The battle proved to effectively be the end of piracy in the [[Vandarch]]. Just two years later, the last of Yonderre's civil wars, the [[Second Potato War]], ended with the rebelling peasantry soundly defeated in 1788, but unlike the previous [[Yonderian Peasants' War]] of 1641-43, [[Grand Duke of Yonderre]] [[Auguste III de Somua]] made concessions to the peasantry, abolishing the highly unpopular [[Potato Laws]] that had caused the war in the first place and clearing the path for a period of societal reform that came to be known as the [[Yonderian Golden Age]]. | Yonderre was the main combatant of the [[Likedealers]] during the [[Golden Age of Vandarch Piracy]] in the late 18th century, policing the south [[Vandarch]].

The Yonderian Golden Age is a name given by historians and sociologists to a period of exceptional societal, scientific and cultural advances that took place in Yonderre during the nineteenth century. Historians and sociologists disagree on the exact start and end dates of the period, but a widely accepted consensus is that [[Michael Falks]]'s book ''[[My Yonderre (book)|My Yonderre]]'' released in 1820 was the catalyst that started the period. End date is generally accepted as the start of the twentieth century, but are also variously given as 1890s and even up to the end of the 1900s with the beginning of the [[Great Depression]]. | The Yonderian Golden Age is a name given by historians and sociologists to a period of exceptional societal, scientific and cultural advances that took place in Yonderre during the nineteenth century.
