Ba Ba Bahh! Its that time again my Sheep, gather around. September is here and we all know what that means, back to school! Let us discuss the rich history we all have been privy to be apart of here in eRepublik.


Entente Alliance

On January 4th of 2010 three nations came together to found the Entente Alliance. Those nations consisted of Italy, France and Ukraine. Founded during World War IV, the alliance was attempting to become a nuetral alliance for those who did not wish to join EDEN or Phoenix. The alliance came about during the Spanish invasion of France. Although France had help from many allies, without an alliance they quickly found themselves being over run by the Spanish forces.

The alliance would eventually go on to accept more members, those being Belgium, Mexico, Venezuela and Paraguay. Members began to leave the alliance during the summer months as Italy announced it would withdraw on July 6th followed closely by Belgium on August 3rd and then Ukraine on August 15th.

Although the alliance began with good intentions it soon found itself out-powered. Ukraine and France would go on to join Phoenix on August 17th of 2010 (although Ukraine would later on join EDEN) while Italy would go on to join EDEN directly after. With just six months of HQ cycles under their belt on August 20th the Entente came together one last time to officially disband, thus ending there small tenure as an official alliance.


Belgium-United Kingdom War
The ultimately short war between Belgium and the United Kingdom fought from April 10th to April 13th of 2008 was historic for a few reasons but mostly because it was the first war fought in eRepublik history. There were just '18 fights' during which Belgium regions were quickly annexed. President of the United Kingdom at the time, Kaleb had declared it was a union between the two nations.

Although it was technically the first war in eRepublik history some contest its legitimacy as it was a war for the purpose of a union rather than a real war.




This concludes todays lesson! I must acknowledge that this edition is dedicated to my good friend Yanisin, for whom without I probably would never even write these articles.
