Join the new world

Only one more part left after this. We are starting to get real close to the present day here as we get as far as the South African war. This is my longest article yet with 2,137 words but I do this because I do not want the last edition to have too many wars as I plan to do something extra in part seven. Here is part six and I would also like to thank all my subscribers as right now we have 99 and I expect to hit 100 with this edition.

The Eastern European War

[a url=http://www.erepublik.com/war-231.html]Link to Erepublik war details page[/a]
Duration May 14th- May 17th (3 days)
Aggressor: Romania
Defender: Ukraine
Other defenders: Turkey
Total number of fights: 493
Fights per day: 164.34
Battles: 13
Result: Romania Sweeps Ukraine, Ukraine eliminated

Analysis

In what will become the last of the blowout wars the Romanians made their second offensive into another country. The possibility of war started in May when the president of Romania offered a union with Ukraine. The Romanians soon declared that it was for the benefit of the Ukrainian people in that it would keep them from being invaded by Norway but it was later found out that part of the Romanian motive was to take back some historical lands. After the proposal for a union was rejected by Ukraine the president of Romania issued a statement saying that most eUkrainians were not Ukraine in real life therefore they did not have Ukraine's best interest in mind. He moved for war and the Romanian congress passed it 27-3.

The Ukrainians were not very determined to find support internationally and they did not up much of of a fight themselves. However Turkey did have a mutual protection pact with Ukraine and the Turks did fight even though there was no official announcement of the Turks officially entering the war. When Romania first invaded they experienced strong resistance but managed to win by a good sized margin in each region. After that they had little trouble taking the rest of the Ukrainian lands until they got to Taurida where the defenders made their last stand. The defenders put up 69 fights, a high for the war but they ended up being overrun by Romanians and the war was then over.


Relations between the Turks and the Romanians have been choppy since that war. Romania expected a walk in the park but Turkey made things more difficult for them. The Romanian's won the war but the Turks put up four times as many fights as the Ukrainians and cost the Romanian's much more then it would of taken to over run Ukraine.

The Sausage Wars

[a url=http://www.erepublik.com/war-241.html]Link to Erepublik war details page[/a]
Duration May 27th- June 6th (9 days)
Aggressor: Germany
Defender: Poland
Other defenders: United States and the Czech Republic
Total number of fights: 1639
Fights per day: 182.11
Battles: 27
Result: Despite a successful defensive at first the Germans win when the U.S. defenders are reallocated to the Czech Republic, Poland eliminated.

Analysis
After losing most of their lands to Sweden, Germany decided to go on the offensive and make up for their lost lands by invading Poland. Even though Sweden had just invaded Germany they had good relations and Sweden backed the Germans in the invasion. Germany looked like an easy horse to bet on but due to a mutual protection pact with the United States many foreign fighters flocked to Austin where there was a Q4 hospital. These immigrants then joined up with the Polish people and made sure the Germans would receive heavy resistance.

The defense was strong and the Polish won two key battles at Great Poland and Silesia which was the largest battle of the war with 208 fights. However in a last minute offensive the Germans were able to break the Polish lines and pull out a victory in Pomerania. Because of that offensive the Germans were able to continue their advance but they did not have much left in the tank after that and Poland easily secured its regions. The Germans then had to go on the defensive but they easily beat off the Polish and healed their wounds in preparation for yet another assault.

After a few days rest the Germans caught a huge break. Another war broke out between the Czech Republic and Hungary. The United States had a mutual protection pact with the Czech Republic and then was forced to split their troops between the two wars. Poland then lacked the resources to launch a counter attack but they continued to put up a fight against the Germans. They would win two more battles but they could not keep up with the Germans with the decreased amount of foreign support. The Polish people put up a great fight but in the end they lost. At its time this war was huge. With 1639 fights it became the largest war on record when it was over with almost 200 more fights then the North American war which had 1448.

Hungary Hungary Hungarians

[a url=http://www.erepublik.com/war-242.html]Link to Erepublik war details page[/a]
Duration June 1st- June 23rd (23 days) (21 active)
Aggressor: Hungary
Defender: Czech Republic
Other defenders: United States and Bulgaria
Total number of fights: 2,176
Fights per day: 103.62
Battles: 60
Result: Hungary conquers the Slovakian regions but does not advance further.

Analysis

During the middle of the sausage wars Hungary attacked the Czech Republic in an attempt to take the Slovakian lands that they thought rightfully belonged to them for historical reasons. The thing that makes this war unique is that the war was not waged to take an entire nation rather to take the lands that another nation held before it was taken over. The Hungarians did not want to take all of the Czech Republic, instead they just wanted the lands Slovakia owned before the Czech Republic took over.

When the Hungarians first invaded they experienced a situation similar to the Germans in that they had support from a major alliance in the Mediterranean alliance but a mutual protection pact with the United States introduced hundreds of foreign fighters. With that foreign support for the Czech the Hungarians could not gain any ground in their first couple of days but they eventually were able to gain ground and take the Slovakian lands.

The president of the U.S. at the time then made an announcement. He declared that the U.S. would send troops to aid the Czech republic for the next two days and would keep them their further as long as the two parties would work towards peace. They made their defensive stand at Moravia and they met the Hungarians with the biggest battle of the war with 136 fights. The U.S. withdrew its troops “officially” but this was a key point in the war. Moravia was a strategic location for both armies. Moravia shielded the rest of the Czech Republic from attack. No Hungarian nations bordered the other two regions of the Czech Republic so as long as the Czech held Moravia then they could keep their capital safe.

After the Hungarians lost at Moravia they offered a peace proposal to Yugi, the president of the Czech Republic. Most of the Czech citizens were in joy as this meant the end to the war and that they would remain independent. However Yugi was actually a foreigner from Brazil who managed to win the election in the Czech Republic after he moved there (This was before the 10 day rule and the Czech Republic was very small). He constantly declined the treaties and his public relations began to deteriorate, rumors of him stealing gold surfaced although there was never any admin intervention.

The Hungarians though in a gracious move declared that they had no intention of advancing further in to the Czech Republic and any further fighters from their sides would just be renegades. The Czech however could not breath easy, these renegades were still putting up a fight in Moravia and Yugi was not signing a peace treaty it looked as if the Czech would have to wait until the end of the month before they could elect a new president and end the war,

The war continued on for a few days with constant battles at Moravia. The Czech were holding on but they were not winning by much. All that was interrupted when Nave entered the scene. Nave was the former president of the U.S. and the president during the U.S. war with Canada. The Mediterranean alliance had backed Canada in that war and recently joined that alliance. Nave however was looking for vengeance and right before the battle ended he loaded up on gold and wellness packs and just fought until he ran out of gold. In doing this he actually managed to single handily win regions for the Czech Republic, one was originally Hungarian. The Mediterranean alliance was not happy at this and then sent troops to retake the areas Nave had taken back in revenge.

They were successful and let the Czech keep the lands they had before Nave invaded. There was another big fight at Moravia but after that a peace treaty was finally signed and the war was over. Soon after the Sausage wars had become the largest war the Hungarian war topped it by over 500 fights. During this war Vaclav gained international attention as he was mostly responsible for gaining support for the Czech which Yugi was not doing. In the next election, Ivan Hat another Czech who fought alongside and was endorsed by Vaclav won the presidency and their age of turmoil had ended.

The Indian Ocean War

[a url=http://www.erepublik.com/war-252.html]Link to Erepublik war details page[/a]
Duration June 11th- July 27th (47 days) (9 active)
Aggressor: Indonesia
Defender: South Africa
Other defenders: United States, Venezuela, and Argentina
Total number of fights: 2,803
Fights per day: 311.44
Battles: 22
Result: Indonesia takes the coastal regions of South Africa

Analysis

Back in early June Indonesia proposed war on South Africa, they claimed it was just for fun, however members of the Pan American alliance saw it differently. They recognized that if Indonesia were to take South Africa then they would have access to South America. Three nations of the PANAM were involved officially and many foreign fighters came to stop the Indonesian powerhouse from expanding.

On the first days the defenders set up along the eastern coast of South Africa and waited for the oncoming invasion. They won one of the battles but were unable to hold both beaches that came under attack. The next day though they secured all their regions and even threatened to retake Western Australia. This was not enough though and the war began to turn into a defenders war for the next few days. Then on June 14th the admins paused the war and did not restart it until the 23rd of July. This made the war seem much longer then it really was.

The reason was most likely do the fact that some Indonesians including their president had somehow glitched their strength to higher levels. The Indonesian president at first had his in the mid sevens range but then it shot up to 32 and then 100.48. The admins then tried hard to address the issue and other bugs in the war. It would be unfair to claim that the Indonesians were cheaters quite frankly because we do not know for sure if other people have done it. The Indonesian president was easy to catch because he is the president and he also got his up to unbelievable levels, there could of easily been lesser known people who used the glitch to get up to believable levels. Even today we still some people with higher strengths then what should be possible so it's not been fixed completely.

However once the war resumed Indonesia was able to gain a bit of ground and took every coastal region from South Africa. Even though declared that the war was just for fun the real reason for it became clear when they proposed a peace treaty with South Africa. Their main goal was in fact to have access to South America. Although it looks unlikely that the Indonesians will be able to take South America the possibility is now there. However with Indonesia starting to fall behind this might not be as big of as a threat as it would of been two months ago.

Once again we see the previous war record broken for the total number of fights. At the time when this war ended the past three wars had all been the three largest wars in history with the number of fightings increasing each time. This war had 2,803, which was over 500 more then the last record holder. If Indonesia were to attempt to take over South America that war would surely top 5.000 fights however that is seeming less and less likely.
