It is finally here part seven of the complete history of war in Erepublik. I will wrap up the project with the last two wars and then have the top wars listed. I had to repost this due to spam.

The Second German War

Duration July 18th - July 28th (10 days)
Aggressor: Sweden
Defender: Germany
Total number of fights: 3,310
Fights per day: 331
Battles: 44
Result: Germany puts up heavy resistance but ultimately loses, Germany eliminated

Analysis

Due to their last two wars Germany took on a much different shape in this war. With most of their original land lost to Sweden the Germans invaded Poland to make up for the lost regions. The German's however did not count on the people of those regions to pose a threat. Soon after Germany conquered Poland a resistance group led by Popolo known as the Poland Secessionist Front started up. The party quickly rose to power and in July Popolo became president.

In his first few days of president Popolo canceled all of Germany's mutual protection pacts and trade agreements including the long standing MPP with Sweden. This went against the contract that had beens signed back after the first German war that allowed Germany to remain independent. In the contract it said that if Germany did not follow the rules then Germany would belong to Sweden but the admins did not do anything and Sweden then declared war on Germany. They expected little resistance and the war to be over fairly quick.

The Swedes did not count on the large amount of foreign support Germany would receive. Many foreign fighters from places such as Pakistan flocked to Germany to get a chance to fight against the number one ranked military in the game. At first to the surprise of the Swedish the defenders succeeded by successfully defending every Germany region the first day, this was a huge upset since Germany had to defend five regions at once and that makes it easier for the attacker to launch a last second offensive. The next day the Swedish faced being on the defensive for the first time in the history of their military, the German army was not strong enough to launch an offensive so the Swedes had a day to rest before they would try again to break the German line. On their next attempt the Swedes were able to take one of the regions and keep their drive alive.

That set the tone for the rest of the war. Germany would win a few battles each day but Sweden would win one or two so they could stay on offense. On July 22nd the Germans made their final stand at Saarland but they were not able to overcome the Swedish military and they soon fell. This war followed the pattern of the last three wars and became the largest war in Erepublik when it was finished with 3,310 fights.


The Balkan War

Duration July 20th – August 2nd (13 days)
Aggressor: Turkey
Defenders: Greece and Bulgaria
Other Defenders: Romania
Total number of fights: 3,845 (3,698 Greek and 147 Bulgarian)
Fights per day: 295.77
Battles: 35 (33 Greek and2 Bulgarian)
Result: Turkey takes all but one region from Greece, Bulgaria retains their status quo.

Analysis

In the July general elections Rathen Holton rose to the presidency after a takeover led by the goons had taken place. Soon after his election a group of goons in Greece started making demands that the Turkish government apologize for the real life Armenian Genocide that happened during world war one. Soon the goons took aim at Turkey's nationalistic pride and referred to Atatürk, one of their national heros as Atajerk. This angered many Turkish citizens and the Turkish president then proposed war on Greece. The proposal was shot down by a large margin mostly due to the fact that most Turks did not think they could win a way if they had to fight both Romania and the United States.

A couple of days later though the Turkish offered the U.S. 500 gold in exchange for their cancellation of their mutual protection pact with Greece. Dish accepted the gold and with the U.S. out of the picture the president of Turkey once again moved for war. This time it was approved by a large margin and the Turkish prepared for war. Foreign fighters flocked to Romania to help defend Greece while the Turkish got support as well and hired mercenaries.

Bulgaria was brought into the war directly due to the fact that they had an MPP with Greece however this situation was unique in the fact that Bulgaria's lands were open to attack by Turkish forces since they shared a border with Turkey. This was the first time that a nation has had their lands opened up to an attacking country through an MPP. The Bulgarians called for peace but the Turkish continued their attacks on Greece and Bulgaria throughout the first day. The Bulgarians were able to defend their border regions the first day and after they beat the Turks back the Turks accepted their peace proposal. The war was back to being on one front.

The Turkish swept into the northern parts of Greece early on facing good sized resistance as they advanced with about 100 fights a battle. They had a successful campaign on the northern front but they ran into difficulty trying to take the island of Crete. The first battle of Crete had 697 fights making it the bloodiest battle in the history of Erepublik. Greece held on to win there but the next day the Turkish were able to take the island and preceded to execute a two pronged attack with Turkish forces moving south from the lands they took in Northern Greece and then having the forces that took Crete move up north to take Southern Greece and the Aegean Islands.

The Turkish continued to face good sized resistance throughout their advancement and they soon surrounded the last Greek region in Central Greece. They fought hard to take the region but the Turks just did not have enough gas left in the tank to take the region. The Turks were forced to go on the defensive after losing that region but they did not give up any of their newly conquered regions. They tried to take Central Greece three more times but they were unsuccessful each time. Soon when the August general elections rolled around the Greeks were able to politically take over Turkey now that they could vote in the Turkish elections. Once the Greeks got the presidential spot they signed a peace treaty and ended the war.

This war also followed the pattern of wars in Erepublik becoming increasingly bloodier with the one topping the old record with 3,698 fights or 3,845 if you include the Bulgarian war.

That wraps up all the wars Erepublik here are the bloodiest wars so far, I have a lot more detailed rankings but I will release those in another article. I don't want this one to be too long.
