WW1

World War 1, or the Socii-Spirova War, began in 1910, real-life day 3. It was started by the Valanian Kingdom against CoSS. Interestingly, this war was supposed to happen, having been planned to coincide with the real life world war one. Unfortunately, it was a year early. It was first proclaimed by RCM to happen in mid 1911.

There is some debate as whether it counts as a "world war"; neither Humerland nor any other Homaric Alliance member participated (Aside from New Canciona), and the standard definition of a world war is that all major powers must participate, and that it must be fought on all inhabited continents and in all oceans. Only the latter condition was met.

Causes
Mutual Distrust by Alliances

The war began due to concerns over the Spirova Accords by the Socii Mundial alliance, and the dislike of Socii power by the Spirova nations. Socii Mundial did not like the idea of this new alliance being able to threaten them and the alliance was dismantled by Fictia and the W.C.C in 1909. Unfortunately for Socii Mundial, it reformed in 1910. The Valanian Kingdom, wanting land owned by the PRA and at the time under the temporary control of CoSS, opened the war a year early.

Events of the war

 *  July 1910


 * War Begins

Valanian Kingdom joins Team Socii and begins the war on Team Spirova with CoSS joining Team Spirova.


 * Battle of Borealis

In 1910 Day 3 the Valanian Kingdom declared war on CoSS and with a fleet 11 Dreadnoughts, 5 Coast Defense Vessels, 2 Gunboats, 6 Frigates and 7 Million Soldiers attempted to take PRA controlled Borealis. The CoSS had 35 Submarines there and the Valanian Kingdom was forced to retreat after losing 3 Dreadnoughts. This Battle was won by Spirova. It demonstrated the folly of dreadnought-on-submarine action without effective destroyer use.


 * Nightraids on VK

After the battle of Borealis CoSS began night raids on Valanian Kingdom with 23 Airship Destroyers and 23 Airship Bombers. These raids targeted the Valanian Kingdom ports and continued until (Current).


 * Haluristan declares war on VK (stud)

In 1910 day 3, The Solis Federation elected Frederick Garfield, and with the help of the Military he overthrew the old bureaucracy and the current Solisian regime. The Federation than unexpectedly turned to team Spirova and renamed Confederacy States of Solis.
 * Solisian Revolution (stud)


 * Fictia, Okhostia, Praenutium, Eleutheria and Universia join the war (The Fictian Empire was chosen as the new leader of Socii)

Praenutium launched 400 Bombers, 400 Airship Destroyers and 200 Carriers to threaten Solisian Cities. Soon after, Solis launched two of their fleets to bombard the Praenuntian Capitol. Praenuntium then stalled Solis by talking about both calling off assaults, while reinforcements came from their shipyards, Universia, Okhostia, and Eleutheria. Solis then retreated once they saw the massive fleet assembled by Praenuntium, and surrendered the subcontinent of Ex. Arca. (but not before sabotaging all of its industry) Praenuntium captured 1.2m Solisian soldiers, and thus secured the first victory for the Socii countries. After the battle of Solis, Praenuntium was given operational control of the combined fleets, and most of the major naval engagements for the rest of the war involved the Praenuntian Admiralty.
 * Battle of Solis

The Praenuntian fleets above then moved to Argus Island (a nearby Solisian military base), and ordered the troops there to surrender (Solis was outnumbered 36:1). The Solisian troops did; but once the Praenuntian fleet entered firing range, they opened fire with every gun they had, and sank two of Praenutium's cruisers. (the only Praenuntian naval loss during the entire war) As soon as the Praenuntian Admiral saw the firing, he ordered his ships to shoot at anything on the island that shot at them.
 * Battle of Argus Island

Okhostia launched an attack on Solisian Iron mines in Basza. Solis begins conducting raids during the night, Okhostia responds with lots of artillery, maxims and Gatling guns on the ground. Right now, the majority of the mines are under Okhostian control. RCM and Solis Federation invaded VK. It was succesful and Spirova took out VK. VK Freedom fight on.
 * Battle of Basza (stud)
 * Battle of Valanian Kingdom (stud)

Solis launched a 3 million man assault on Fictian Occidentalis Major (1 Million Soldiers and artillery defending) Solis gained Fictian Occidentalis Major but took 1.4 Million Casualties.
 * Battle of Fictian Occidentalis Major (stud)

RCM attacked Fictian Australis with 3 Million men. Only 600K Made it due to submarine raids. It is unknown how they were able to move so many men given their small merchant navy. 400K Fictian Soldiers died while killing the RCM invaders.
 * Battle of the Exarchate of Australis (stud)

RCM and CoSS attempted an invasion of the Exarchate of Frigda, they fought with W.C.C. Trade Fleet and Fictian Soldiers, but succeeded in taking Frigidia and captured 600K fictian soldiers, killed 20,030, and lost 70 in a complete rout of the Fictian forces, which they surrounded. Emperor George II was thought by the RCM to be either killed or captured, but they were quite mistaken as George II had fled to Nova Basza, where a new Fictian capital of Constantinople had secretly been under construction.
 * Battle of the Exarchate of Frigida


 * The Fictian Empire splits

After the failure to keep Frigida and Occidentalis Major, Emperor George II of Fictia fled to Fictian Nova Basza, where a new capital, called Constantinople, was secretly built. To increase the chance of success during the war George II then split the Empire between himself (dissolving the former Exarchate of Australis to become the Eastern Fictian Empire) and a general in Occidentalis Major, approved by George II to become Emperor George III and rule the remaining Western Fictian Empire from Capital City as a junior co-emperor.

New Canciona joins Team Socii

Humerland, deciding to not get as militarily involved if possible, instead lent supplies out to those who needed them. Universia got Airships: 1000 cruiser airships (ASD's), 2000 bomber airships with enough h.e. bombs for 50 sorties and enough gas bombs for 20 gas sorties each, plus 600 gunships with enough gas bombs for 10 sorties, plus h.e. bombs 10 sorties, b) naval vessels 500 subs, 500 destroyers, and 20 battlecruisers, plus Manpower: 200,000 KAR with rifles + 400 gatlings and 2,000,000 native soldiers in 200 divisions. Fictia received 600 Cannons, 1000 Maxims and 140 Howitzers.

Day 1 1911


 * Socii begins Operation Golden Rule

Team Socii recruits most of their population and prepares for large-scale assaults on all Spirova members. Fictia, Haluria, Praenutium, Okhostia and Universia launch an invasion of PRA with around 27 million soldiers after several bombing runs. The PRA chooses to surrender rather than face the gigantic Socii army alone.
 * Attack on PRA

Fictia and Okhostia launch an all out attack on The Confederacy Of Touleese, Touleesian troops are heavily outnumbered, and after a few million fatalities surrender.
 * Attack on Touleese

The rest of, PRA gets a fair treaty Terms: PRA gives up PRA Occidentalis Major, Island in Romana Bight, Island next to Fictia, PRA is capped at 3 Million soldiers for ten years then 5 million for 5 years after that, in exchange we have peace. Solis gets a less fair treaty (Solis army should be capped at 5 Million and you will not be able to build extreme amounts of ships without Socii permission for 15 Year)and RCM gets a horrible treaty. RCM was partitioned into many segments.
 * Spirova surrenders

Ships:
10 Dreadnought (RCM), 7 Battlecruiser, 20 Gunboats, 2 Battleships (Socii), and 55 Destroyers (50 RCM), 610 Subs (400 RCM+Spirova), 2 cruisers and 3 subs (Praenuntium).
