The conflict mostly took place in [[Istrenya]], however spillovers in [[Malentina]] and parts of northern [[Tierrador]] occurred. It is considered to be the second of the four [[South Cronan Narco Wars]] and a pivotal point in Tierrador's participation in the [[Occidental Cold War]]. The war was fought between Tierrador, led by Pedro Gomez, and Istrenya, led by newly-implemented leader Woko'eli Koko. The war is widely considered as a [[w:Proxy War|Proxy war]], and lasted four years and three months, officially ending in 1970, by ruling of the [[Dalton Accords]]. This war was one of the costliest and most negatively-influential wars in Tierradorian history, spawning several domestic movements by Tierradorian civilians. | ||
The Mosquito War was sparked by a longstanding territorial, economic, and political dispute between Tierrador and Istrenya over multiple reasons, including the presence of resource-rich border region known for its abundance of rare minerals and fertile land. The initial tensions dated back not very far, as Istrenya had come off defending their homeland from the [[NIPF]], during the [[Istrenyan Crisis]]. Eventually, the Istrenyan government, which had been in major disputes with Gomez-led Tierrador, began authorizing military exercises within the [[Qalhéq Mountains]], which marked the border between both nations. The Tierradorian government began accusing Istrenyan soldiers of regularly crossing into Tierrador and terrorizing small mountain villages. As diplomatic efforts failed to resolve the dispute, the situation escalated into a full-blown armed conflict. At the onset of the Mosquito War, there was widespread enthusiasm and support for the conflict among the Tierradorian population. The Tierradorian government successfully framed the war as a matter of national pride and territorial integrity. They employed effective propaganda campaigns, appealing to the patriotic sentiments of Tierrador's citizens. This initial surge in support was reflected in high levels of volunteer enlistment, public rallies, and expressions of solidarity with the military. | The Mosquito War was sparked by a longstanding territorial, economic, and political dispute between Tierrador and Istrenya over multiple reasons, including the presence of resource-rich border region known for its abundance of rare minerals and fertile land.
