Continental History Part 5

In order to know the history of a small country called the Republic of Karlsbert, it is necessary to look at it from the larger perspective of the history of this entire continent. A little longer, but I'm going to explain that to you this time.

Continental calendar year 302. The dispute between the three princesses over the status of the 33rd emperor finally developed into the form of a clash of force. You remember this was the first civil war in the Continental Empire and the struggle that inspired the Silesian kingdom to become independent, right?

It was the Western Continental Empire, made economically wealthy by the hands of the Empress Oliga Romanova, who helped that independence. With its economic power, the country stirred up independents and rogue nobles, and caused them to rise up by force everywhere.

And as a result, the Grand Duchy of Hermesberger, with the Grand Duke of Hermesberger as Head of State, became independent in 311 of the continental calendar. In addition, the Knights of Coolrant, headed by the Duke of Zyfeld in 318, were raised by force and declared independent. In the following 320 the Marquis of Weber became independent and the Marquis of Weber was founded, in 321 the free city of Hohenzorlen, ruled by Viscount Bierstadt, became independent, and in 330 the Dietrich Border Reverend proclaimed separation independence from the Eastern Continental Empire.

Moreover, the wave of independence did not stop, and more than 40 countries of the same Livonians became independent where there is the present Union of Livonian Nobility between 311 and 360 years of the continental calendar. That's a lot. That's not a level.

Regardless, there is also a reason why we have been divided into so many countries.

He said, "Let's go to the central government of the Eastern Continental Empire. It was tremendous stress to be told. In our territory, we became independent because we wanted to do what we wanted. It was easy because of the assistance of the Western Empire".

It is self-evident that saying that a small country will be disturbed will be disadvantaged in terms of saying that much about the economy and defence. Some countries complained about the crisis, but the voice never became a majority.

And when the Ostmarc Empire, which became kinship with the Grand Duke of Hermesberger in 373 of the continental calendar, became independent, its defence crisis withdrew further, and its voice, proportionally to that, appealed for the reunification of Livonia, also dwindled.

When Silesia gained independence in the continental calendar 452, it no longer bordered directly with the Eastern Empire, which was its greatest virtual enemy, and since then these 40 countries have not come together, and the word Livonia has fallen into a geographical concept. The civil war of the Continental Empire was also virtually over, and this territorial state was trying to extremly flourish.

But they didn't understand. that the end of the Continental Empire Civil War is synonymous with the end of an era when only the Eastern Continental Empire is the enemy.

It was in the 470th calendar year of the continent that that solidified prejudice was smashed. In a kingdom east of Livonia, a man of military talent who could also be comparable to Boris Romanov, the first emperor of the Continental Empire, stood at the apex of that kingdom.

It is the reign of Marek Silesia, the second king of the Kingdom of Silesia.

Marek transformed the Royal Silesian Army, which was only at the level of hairy growth in aristocratic private soldiers as a result of pushing for an arms expansion based on the economic foundations of Silesia inherited from his father, until he became regarded as the strongest on the continent.

And in that army, he declared war on the Eastern Continental Empire in 473. Marek, the genius of war, could not be stopped by the inert armies of the Eastern Empire. As a result, the Kingdom of Silesia seized a large number of territories.

In good shape and momentum, Marek then declared war on the Ostmarc Empire. Unlike the Eastern Continental Empire, Ostomark was of good economic strength and military quality, but he defeats the Royal Army commanded by Marek without skill and takes his territory.

Marek, who had no enemies across the street, could not have missed the territorial state of Livonia, divided into smaller nations and with smaller individual military capabilities.

In 480 the continental calendar, the Kingdom of Silesia began its invasion of Livonia. Marek took nothing for himself the faint resistance of a small country without a convoluted army, destroying each and every one of Livonia's territorial states, destroying seven territorial states in six months of war.

It was here that the nobles of the Livonia countries finally realized. "It's not like we were splitting up like this".

In 481 the continental calendar, the territorial state of Livonia resolved to unite against this crisis and undertook to cooperate with each other to avoid annihilation.

I made a promise, but it was just a promise. The nobles did not keep this promise.

It is also true that this promise did not decide "who will command the army".

I mean, "I don't like to perish, so I'll work with the others. But I don't like to stand under them in silence and be on the side of receiving orders," said the aristocrat, who was a majority.

In the end, it was decided that the 33 remaining nobles of Livonia would move freely each without determining the chain of command. Seeing the ugliness of such a territorial state, Marek said something extremely sincere: "This is more appropriate to call it a 'U.N. crowd', not an army".

Marek was not weak enough to lose to such a crowd of UAE, nor was he merciful enough to give you any credit for it.

In 482 on the continental calendar, the war ended when the supply line of the Royal Silesian Army reached its stretched off offensive limit, ending in the worst possible result of the disappearance of 16 countries from the continental map within the 40 territorial states where it existed. Pity.

And the Livonia finally woke up.

"Let's create a united nation in Livonia"

I feel even more so now, but I've been acting fast since I woke up.

Continental calendar year 483. The Grand Duchy of Hermesberger, the Knights of Coulrant, the Weber Holy Country, the free city of Hohenzollern and the Dietrich Borderline Lord made a covenant: to consolidate the five countries, to establish the House of Lords as the supreme decision-making body, to place each noble rank in the same line as the Duke, and to decide on a rotating basis every four years.

Yes, it was at this time that the foundations of the Union of Livonia Nobles were created.

But some people disagreed with this move. It's the usual theory that "I admit the need to establish a united state, but I don't like having to take it under you guys".

If you mention that, you will repeat your failures when the Kingdom of Silesia attacks you. Each nobleman in the Senate persuaded the opposition by crossing over. But the effort was wasted.

If you can't tell me, I'll have to sue you for force. The House of Lords' decision was made.

In 495 the Continental Calendar, 10 territorial states endorsing the unification of Livonia by the House of Lords and 14 countries opposing it began armed clashes. It was the beginning of a war known as the "War of Unity of Livonia" for future generations.

Furthermore, the war of unification of Livonia became a brawling muddy war of no-guard beatings, with the thoughts of all nations crumbling apart, such as the Western Empire deciding in this war that "what a powerful unified state can do in the east cannot be seen in defence" and expressing its support for the opposition, or the Ostmarc Empire supporting the unification as "it is welcome that a unified state can be done as the same Livonian".

Incidentally, the Kingdom of Silesia did not intervene as busy with several wars against the Empire of the Eastern Continent and "if you stick your hand in such a boiled pot, it will burn you".

And Continental Calendar 499. The war of reunification finally ended when the Western Continental Empire overthrew opposition support or the opposition broke internal divisions, and in the following continental calendar year 500 the Union of Livonia Nobles was formed with 24 territorial states integrated and the President of the House of Lords as Head of State.

Yeah, yeah, good. Good. Livonia was able to create a united nation after a long and painful period of war. I can't stop crying, making movie decisions.

... Huh? That nothing about Carlsbert came out? Yeah, I'm fine. Because it's a prerequisite until now. I'll talk to you soon.

Unity by the Union of Livonia Nobles was achieved, and the Senate invested in internal affairs in order to rebuild the national foundations hurt by the war. When internal affairs stabilized, he also invested in his military might and was preparing for a war of vengeance against the Kingdom of Silesia, which would happen one day.

And in 518 the continental calendar, the ever-winning and undefeated genius Marek Silesia fell off a horse and died safely. The sudden collapse of the king is confusing national politics. Now is your chance, just to say, the Union of Livonia Nobles declared war on the Kingdom of Silesia...... I couldn't.

Not long after the news of the fall of Marek Silesia, the ambassadors of the Ostmarc Empire visited the Senate and made this suggestion.

"Hey senate folks! The economic and military recovery is going well, and you have a high nose as the same Livonia! And did you hear that obnoxious Marek bastard is dead!? Now you've cleared up some defensive concerns! So I'm talking to you, can I join the Ostmarc Empire in the Senate too!?

... No, you didn't just say that in such a messed up tone, did you? Just for clarity...... Um, I'm sorry. Don't stare so hard. Don't grab another shoulder.

Cohon.

The point is, "Wouldn't you like to make the Great Empire of the Livonians? If Ostmarc and the Union of Livonia Nobles were together, continental unity would not be a dream, nor would the Kingdom of Silesia intervene because Marek had collapsed".

Naturally, the Senate rejected this offer.

Indeed, the Ostmarc Empire is a state of the Livonians. The Emperor Ostmarc has some Ruth blood in it, but he's mostly Livonian, and all the nobles in Ostmarc are Livonian. But across the nation, the Ostmarc Empire is a multi-ethnic state, with even the majority Livonians less than 30% of the entire population.

What kind of joke is it to be with a country like that? So the Senate refused.

Why did Ostmarc make such a proposal, because if we could take in the Livonians of the Union of Livonian Nobility, we would have a population ratio of more than half of the Livonians within the Empire. If the overall majority were to become Livonians, repression of minorities… would make assimilation policies easier to do.

I'm tempted to say who swallows integration with such a troublesome option, but this country is serious.

In the year 518 of the Continental Calendar, the Livonia - Ostmarc War broke out.

Even though less than 20 years have passed since the war of unity, there is still a difference in economic power with the Ostomark Empire. The war between the Union of Livonia Nobles and the Ostomark Empire, which conscripts and fights from ethnic minorities to oppress them, has become muddy.

It was a war that only increased the number of dead while lacking both decision-makers. The two countries, which I thought was bad, started negotiations towards a ceasefire, and as a result Ostmarc dropped their demands on the Senate, and Livonia agreed to pay Ostmarc their gratitude during the war of reunification.

Thus the ceasefire ceased in 520 continental calendar, but at this time a few incidents occurred.

It is an independent movement of one of the minorities within the Ostomark Empire, the Lakian nation.

The reasons for the independence movement are clear.

"Isn't it stupid that some Livonian bastard would fight the Livonian League of Nobles to oppress us Lakians, and then conscript us to fight the League of Nobles? Besides, it's our hometown, Carlsbert, that's on the battlefield!

The main battlefield for the Livonia - Ostmarc war was Carlsbert. Moreover, it has become muddy, as mentioned, thus causing considerable damage. Help the Livonians who sit in power, throw themselves into the fight to oppress themselves, and their homeland is burned as a result. If the Lakians see such a sight, then there will be an independence movement.

And the Lachians proclaimed the founding of the country in 520 calendar years, when peace between Livonia and Ostmarc was established, and the Kingdom of Karlsbert was established.

Ostmarc naturally sends a furious and repressive force... he didn't do anything. Because there was an armed uprising all over the place just saying, "Keep going Carlsbert," and he was busy cracking down on it.

Again, the Kingdom of Silesia and the Union of Livonia Nobles say, "Can Carlsbert be a buffer state?" and approved independence.

Even after that, there was no room in Ostmarc at the time to destroy the Kingdom of Karlsbert. You just finished the mud war.

In the end, the kingdom of Carlsbert was established in disintegration.

The Livonia-Ostmarc war was a draw at the time of the establishment of peace. But because the country was disrupted by the independence of the Kingdom of Karlsbert, it is regarded among historians as Ostmarc's judgment loss.

Incidentally, did the Ostmarc Empire reflect on this matter of Carlsbert, when the emperor's crane of time led him to cut the helm on a policy that was minority friendly?

The result of that policy is the ideal "House of Peoples" we once saw in Crosno, but that is another story.
