History
The nations of Jarridia and Doomingsland are not new to conflict between eachother. The history of each nation displays a pattern of aggression, rivalry, and in some cases pure hatred of eachother. Although this chart to the right demonstrates the most previous of military affairs, its only part of a truely exhilarating history.
After the creation of The Westwood Alliance (WWA) two nations by the name of Crimsdale and Artica sought to align themselves with the WWA and create everlasting support and friendship with Jarridia. Years later, Crimsdale left the WWA with Artica to create a triple alliance with the nation of Doomingsland, but both still remained as WWA Members. President Jarrod Branam of Jarridia was thrilled by the idea and offered WWA support in the construction of the new alliance in hopes that one day the new alliance and the WWA could align themselves and dominate the world, and thus C A D was born. Despite the Jarridian influence in its creation, Doomingsland soon gained control over the alliance, and with Crimsdale seemingly silenced, in many ways sought to create a rift between the WWA and the C A D. Doomingsland's attempts at creating a conflict succeeded and because of their treacherous activities, Jarridia moved to blockade Doomingsland in hopes of staving off disaster. As conditions finally calmed down, the blockade ended, but tempers continued to flare between Jarridia and Doomingsland.
Years passed without any conflict until ViZion gained certain intelligence about the Generic Empire that caused tensions to yet again flame. Jarridia immediately mobilized forces to the C A D region, and sent jet fighters up to patrol the very edge of the Borman Empire's Airspace, (Note: BE is an ally of Jarridia and the WWA) hoping to draw Doomingsland out to make the first strike, which is exactly what happened. Doomingsland attacked the Jarridian Fleet and Fighters causing Jarridia to fully mobilize for war and assault Doomingsland. Though Jarridia made land fall the war quickly ended with very little bloodshed.
The next and final stage leading up to the current conflict that just ended was the ViZionarian Rebellion. In 2017, the President of ViZion, Villian, sought to disband the Senate and seize full control for himself. Immediately the ViZionarian Senate moved to remove Villian stirring up a rebellion between Loyalists, led by the Senate, and Rebels, led by Villian. Some nations, such as Jarridia, sought to enter ViZion and help restore order and the Democracy, while others, such as Doomingsland sought to merely invade and conquer ViZion while ther were in turmoil. As all parties descended upon ViZion, fighting broke out throughout the Mediterranean creating horrific death tolls. Indeed, Doomingsland and the other invaders were victorious in conquering ViZion and leaving Mediport, as Jarridian Territory, as the only unoccupied land in the entire peninsula.
Doomani-Jarridian War: Operation ViZionarian Freedom
The most current conflict occurred as Jarridia restored its image in the world stage. Newly elected President, Michelle Thoreson, vowed to free ViZion from its occupiers and restore the nation to its rightful government. Jarridian Forces quickly moved to the Straight of Gibraltar to begin the arduous process of enterring the Mediterranean. They were met with extreme resistance from MassPwnage who was protecting his claims and those of his ally, Doomingsland. Many other nations joined Jarridia's quest including: Xeraph, Malatose, Independent Hitmen, Tarlag, The Lone Alliance, Theoroshia and the Aztec National League. Together they created a pact, Allied Liberation Forces, to rid ViZion of Doomingsland and MassPwnage.
Gibraltar quickly degraded into a stalemate, and with Jarridian Forces being locked up outside the Mediterranean, Doomingsland had free reign to reap havoc on the Jarridian Territories in the Med. Mediport, ViZion, which was a Jarridian Port, was the first to be attacked. The port had been weakened since the first ViZionarian struggle and unable to rebuild because of the Doomani blockade. Doomingsland quickly razed the city to the ground in an unrelenting bombardment campaign, then they invaded the city crucifying the only remaining Jarridian soldiers. Meanwhile, attacks continued outside the Med. in the Atlantic, and finally MassPwnage gave way and allied forces were able to enter the Med, or were they? Inside the Med. Doomingsland quickly moved through the sea to Barcelona, the only remaining Jarridian stronghold in the Med and began their bombardment campaign there. However, Barcelona was much stronger than Mediport and was able to fire back at the Doomani's causing the Doomani fleet to take sever damage. Unfortunately for the Jarridians, Doomingsland was able to continue fighting and eventually obliterated the city and killed millions of Jarridian Soldiers who were preparing to fight the Doomani Invasion.
In the Atlantic, Allied Forces moved to enter the Med. but were caught up in a storm of missiles and torpedoes has Doomingsland attempted to keep their last chance at holding off an invasion of ViZion alive. Because of the destruction of many ships in the Jarridian Fleet, the mounting pressure of the possibly invasion of Portugal, and the loss of the stronghold in Barcelona and Mediport, it became evident to President Thoreson of Jarridia that the war effort was at a loss. She called for dipomatic peace talks to begin between Doomingsland and Jarridia which ended in a cease fire, the surrender of Barcelona and reparations paid to Doomingsland. With Jarridia taken out of the Mediterranean, and out of the war in general, the final stage of the Doomani-Jarridian War ended...
...or has it?
Clandonian Involvement
The United Kingdom entered into the war in support of Doomingsland after ships beloning to the Clandonia East India Company were attacked along with their Royal Navy escorts upon entering the Straits of Gibraltar without warning. The captain of the Royal Naval escorts sent out a call for support, a G4M6 naval bomber was sent in to provide air support. The Lone Alliance launched Soviet made anti-shipping missiles sunk HMS Arlington, a Minister Class frigate killing twelve Clandonian sailors. Under the Imperial Maritime Enforcement Act of 1924 the government warned that action would be taken against The Lone Alliance, the remaining Clandonian ships fired launched their Merlin anti-submarine helicopters destroying several Xeraphian submarines.
Clandonian sailors were picked up by forces of Tarlag and handed over to a neutral third party nation where they were transfered unharmed, the remaining Minister Class frigate and the Praefele destroyer retreated after taking damage, they remained in a Doomani dry dock till the end of the war. Cross party support in the House of Commons allowed war to be declared against The Lone Alliance for their involvement in piracy, murder and terrorism against the assets of the Crown and her economical interests. In response aid was sent to Doomani controlled Italia where HAND artillery pieces from 22nd Royal Artillery Division were sent to defend the area from naval attack and in the event of a land invasion repel attack. Once assembled they were used to destroy the remainder of Barcelona, the massive eight metre long shells from the twenty guns were fired for twelve hours straight. The results of the attack are unknown but the Parliamentary Select Committee for Defence suggested that up to 20,000 were killed, remains could not be found after Doomani forces deployed tactical nuclear weapons.
The assembled Clandonian fleets remained in the area until the cease fire was signed resulting in a Status quo ante bellum, the future of the conflict is unknown and has been deemed an acceptable victory reassuring Clandonian business and maritime trade that they would be protected from hostile attack. Support for the war showed the nationalist feelings that were present after the attack, many saw it as a show of Clandonian maritime power and the first real test of such an expedition.
