By 300 CE, the Germanic {{wp|English people|Ænglish people}} had migrated into the central areas of modern Carna, establishing permanent settlements in the region. The south and southwestern coastal areas and the mountainous northern areas of modern Carna remained under the rule of the native {{wp|Gaels|Gaelic}} people up until the collapse of [[Great Levantia]] in 500 CE. This saw the Ængles conquer much of modern Carna, developing a distinct Ænglo-Gaelic culture that laid the foundation of the {{wp|Scots language|Carnish}} language. In 881, the [[Kingdom of Carna]] was founded beginning more than a millennia of independent Carnish rule. Calls for reform in the late 18th century would see the Carnish monarchy relinquish significant power to an [[Old Carnish Parliament|elected parliament]]. Carna would enter the [[Great War]] in 1935, fighting alongside their former rival of Urcea. As the war escalated, democratic elections were suspended and the Carnish monarchy retook significant power. In 1947, protests against the monarchy's growing power and the suspension of democratic elections escalated into [[Carnish Revolution|a number of popular uprisings]], culminating in the deposition of the Carnish monarchy in June of 1948 and the establishment of the [[Proclamation of the People's Union|Union of Carnish Councils]] later that same month. | By 300 CE, the Germanic {{wp|English people|Ænglish people}} had migrated into the central areas of modern Carna, establishing permanent settlements in the region.
