The '''Alpachnee War''' was a military conflict between the [[Republic of Corumm]] and the [[Kiravian Federacy]] against the [[Alpachnee Confederation]]. There are various factors for the start of hostilities chief among them the confederation's advantageous geographic location, possessing extensive coasts in both the [[Nysdra Sea]] and the [[Albion Sea]], the country's important mineral reserves and its military weakness. | The '''Alpachnee War''' was a military conflict between the [[Republic of Corumm]] and the [[Kiravian Federacy]] against the [[Alpachnee Confederation]]. There are various factors for the start of hostilities chief among them the confederation's advantageous geographic location, possessing extensive coasts in both the [[Nysdra Sea]] and the [[Albion Sea]], the country's important mineral reserves and its military weakness. The attacking powers invaded without any mandate of the [[League of Nations]]'s Security Council, ignoring any outrage from other states. The [[Alpachnee Confederation]] was overrun in little over three months and its territory was partitioned between the victors. | ||

Like many native Cronite states, the [[Alpachnee Confederation]], which occupied much of northwestern [[Crona]], was a {{wp|weak state}} that had long struggled to balance the competing interests of its many different resident ethnic groups, develop strong political institutions, or sustain reliable economic growth. As the states around the confederation were dismantled and replaced with colonial rumps, Alpachnee elites at first adopted a conciliatory tone to avoid the same fate. However these attempts were rebuffed, with the confederation's territory already being divvied up in secret talks between [[Kiravia]] and [[Corumm]]. Alpachnee's entry into the [[Nysdra Sea Treaty Association|NSTA]] was torpedoed by [[Corumm]]ese diplomacy to prevent it from invoking the organization's mutual defense clause. Alpachnee's diplomatic attempts to gain international attention of its plight at the [[League of Nations]] went mostly ignored, with Corummese representative [[Shang Tsung]] mockingly calling them 'the last pathetic mewling of a terrorist state'. On the 15th of September the Corummese announced a blockade of Alpachnee's western coast ostensibly to combat drug and weapons smuggling. Three days later the Kiravians did the same on the eastern coast. | Like many native Cronite states, the [[Alpachnee Confederation]], which occupied much of northwestern [[Crona]], was a {{wp|weak state}} that had long struggled to balance the competing interests of its many different resident ethnic groups, develop strong political institutions, or sustain reliable economic growth.

The Corumm-Kiravia compact used the presence of transnational revolutionary movements as a formal excuse to declare war. After the debellation of [[Nanseetucket]] and the establishment of [[Corumm]]ese and [[Kiravian]]colonial administrations on its former territory, some forces loyal to the old regime took refuge in Alpachnee lands, as did anti-colonial militant groups such as the [[Revolutionary Guerrilla Triads|Revolutionary Guerrilla Triads - Eastern Command]]. | The Corumm-Kiravia compact used the presence of transnational revolutionary movements as a formal excuse to declare war.

[[Corumm]] responded shortly after by striking several Alpachnee military sites with unmanned drones and artillery strikes on border posts. A few hours later the Corummese [[Army of Conquest]] and auxiliary units from the [[Peace Brigade]] began a wholescale offensive into Alpachnee; dubbed '''Operation Spring Clean'''. | ||
