Esmir: Difference between revisions

Because warlord states, kingdoms, and the colonizers alike kept claiming the land of peasants, the Second Peasant Uprising began in 1816 in the east and resulted in Lapinumbian work sites being raided. Soon after, the Orthodox Church ordered an incursion and the knights freed the majority of Esmir's indentured servants in the east. It became the strategy of the Lapinumbians overtime to focus on consolidating the western portion of Esmir instead of the east, which proved significantly less risky and thus more profitable. The knights successfully united the east by 1866 under the Sara Dynasty which became the Esmiri National Republic in 1881 before the Sara Dynasty was promptly restored in another incursion that same year.

In 1884, West Esmir's borders were demarcated by the colonial authority. During a visit to Portaloy, Governor-General Thomess was assassinated by a knight. Knights descended upon the colony from the mountains, liberating peasants who joined the ranks of the knights as they marched eastward toward work camps and destroying supply routes along the way. The Lapinumbians were completely driven out by 1890 as forces landed on the shores from the east, finally breaching the Lapinumbian Empire's naval formations along the strait. As they were driven out, Lapinumbian flags were burned and Lapinumbians abandoned during the withdrawal were sent to work camps for the rest of their lives, usually in treacherous conditions. Two vassal states were created in the west. In 1910, the Sara Dynasty annexed the western vassals, officially reuniting Esmir under one flag. In 1933, there was a failed attempt at a seizure of power from liberal elements within the House of Sara that resulted in a large-scale conflict between loyalists and supporters of the ‘opposite faction’. While this faction was swiftly defeated within the House of Sara, the wave of political dissidence only continued to get stronger as supporters began to rally behind the new Republican Party.
