The Causes
In Giotizia
In 1845 Kedalfax finalized its independence from the Dutch. Unfortunately, they had been trading successfully with Giotizia, a Dutch colony in Simtropolis. Now that they were not part of the Dutch empire, they could not do trade.
At the time, Giotizia was not interested in sovereignty. Kedalfax planted constant propaganda in Giotiza, in an attempt to stir a revolt. In 1890, it worked.
In Metropolitan Houston
In the mid 1800s, Brechenlass took much of Metropolitan Houston and the Burgundy islands from the British. By 1890, however, locals had grown tire of the oppressive rule under Brechenlass, and began to revolt. Britain took this opportunity to try and take back their land. But the locals wanted sovereignty, and were now fighting two groups.
In Schnabo
In May 1890, President Alan Willberg declared that Schnabo would remain neutral during the whole war, unless Schnabo "Got a reason to join one of the sides", as Willberg said in his famous speech. In March the following year, 1891, Schnabo got that reason when Britain attacked five Schnaboian trade ships. Willberg presented an ultimatum to Britain, Stop the attacks and pay for the losses, or else Schnabo would join the Revolutionary side. Britain refused to stop the attacks because the ships might carried important resources for their enemies. Left with no choice, Willberg declared war against the Imperial nations and their allies in April 1891.
The most importent events for Schnabo was the Battle of Schnabo Bay 1892 and the invasion of Brechenlass 1893.
The War
In 1890, it looked like two struggles were going on. However, Kedalfax was allied with Great Britain. So from the beginning of the struggle in 1890 until mid 1891, Kedalfax was involved in both wars, fighting on opposing sides.
In 1891, the Kedalfaxian government agreed that they should pick one side. Breaking their alliance with the British, they joined the revolutionary side of the Houstonians.
