Port Hivernille was built in initially built in [[1884]] as part of the [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] attempts to legitimize their claim to the island in the aftermath of the [[First Fratricide]] as a fishing and whaling port. Since the end of the [[Kiro-Burgoignesc Wars]] and the [[First Great War]] at the dawn of the 20th century, [[Burgundie]] and [[Kiravia]] normalized relations and began to trade. The port expanded a number of times throughout the 20th century, most notably during the [[Second Great War]] when the port doubled in size to accommodate naval ships. Parts of the new port facilities were destroyed by a series of [[Faneria]]n naval and bomber raids. After the war, the port languished for a time until the advent of [[Containerization]] in the 1960s and 70s. The port was rebuilt from [[1968]]-[[1973]] to accommodate a container terminal. With the collapse of [[Kirosocialism]] the port became an important hub of the new trade between capitalist [[Kiravia]] and [[Burgundie]]. | |||
