The '''Gondwana Straits War''', also called the '''Gondwana Straits Crisis''', was a protracted conflict in the late 19th century involving several nations around the [[Sea of Gondwana]]. The war was marked by a complex web of alliances and shifting fronts, resulting in significant territorial changes and strategic realignments that eventually led to the [[Great War]].
==Background==
==Conflict==
===Early War (1875-76)===
The conflict ignited in 1875 when [[Nagato]] launched an attack on [[Auravas]], seizing portions of its coastline. This aggressive move prompted [[Zemeprievadai]] to declare war, dispatching troops northward. Simultaneously, [[Vistaraland]] initiated military mobilization in [[Satō]]. [[Aivintis]] entered the fray by declaring war on Zemeprivadai, Auravas, and [[Korćetta]], while [[Tavaris]] declared war on Nagato and its allies to safeguard its trade interests.
In 1876, with a significant portion of Nagatoian forces concentrated in southern Gondwana, Vistaraland launched assaults on Nagato's surrounding islands. [[Bana]] declared war on Tavaris, effectively dividing Tavari forces. Though Nagatoian troops continued advancing in Auravas and Zemeprievadai, their progress slowed.
Meanwhile, Korćetta breached a treaty with [[Tretrid]], prompting Tretridian forces to launch a successful campaign against [[Zachodnipaństwo]]. Aivintis, through a naval invasion, gained substantial ground in western Korćetta. [[Serdemia]] also joined the conflict during this phase.
===Mid War (1877-79)===
In 1877, Tretridian forces made further gains in Zachodnipaństwo, prompting Korćetta to recall troops from other fronts. Aivintian advances were hindered by renewed attacks from Korćetta and the relentless assaults from [[Serdemia]]. Despite this, the absence of the Tavari navy allowed Aivintian forces to secure greater control around [[Llygad Duw]]. On the Auravasi front, the Nagatoian forces, stretched thin between the Sea Front and the Auravas Front, saw a slowdown and even reversals in some areas.
The year 1878 witnessed Bana's invasion and occupation of [[Reijia]], effectively cutting off Tavari's access to the ocean. Nagatoian forces maintained a standstill on the Auravasi mainland, though they made some gains on the island. Tretrid completed the conquest of Zachodnipaństwo and largely withdrew from active combat, enabling Korćetta to redirect more troops to the Aivintian front. They even managed to retake lost territory as Aivintis shifted a significant portion of its military to Llygad Duw.
In 1879, Tavaris decisively reclaimed Reijia from Bana while Aivintis launched the formidable [[Firestar Campaign]], conducting major landings in Auravas. Nevertheless, Korćetta redirected a substantial portion of its military to the seas around Llygad Duw, blunting what could have been a devastating assault. This troop reassignment led to a standstill on the eastern front, allowing Nagato to make significant gains on the island and attempt unsuccessful landings on the coast of Zemeprievadai.
===Late War (1880-82)===
In early 1880, the Vistari Crown Coalition (VCC), against the wishes of the Vistari crown, brokered a deal with Nagato and Aivintis, shifting allegiance in exchange for reparations. Tavaris and Korćetta undertook joint operations to diminish Aivintian and Nagatoian naval influence, achieving some success. However, Vistaraland prevented them from attaining decisive victories. Auravas and Zemeprievadai fiercely contested the reclaimed territories, but only limited successes were achieved.
In late 1880, Vistaraland engaged in peace talks with Auravasian nations, seeking reparations and improved trade access in exchange for neutrality in the conflict. By 1881, Aivintis reallocated troops to the mainland to counter further Serdemia and Korćetta offensives. With assistance from the Tavari military, Auravas and Zemeprievadai recaptured all mainland territories, leaving only a few Nagatoian holdouts on the island.
In 1882, the remaining portions of Auravas were retaken, ending the seven-year-long conflict. Both sides ultimately signed a white peace agreement, marking the conclusion of the Gondwana Straits War.
