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.
=== Mid War (1877-79) ===▼
In 1877 Tretridian Troops take even more of Zachodnipaństwo, and Korćetta begins recalling troops to fight on the Aivintian front. Aivintian advances slow down due to renewed attacks from Korćetta attacks as well as attacks from Sedemia, but the lack of the Tavari navy allows Aivintian forces to take more control of the area around Llygad Dew. The Auravasi front slows and even reverses in many places as Nagato troops are stretched thin between the Sea Front and the Auravas Front.▼
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.
In 1878 Bana invades and occupies Reijia, cutting off Tavari access to the ocean. Nagatoian troops remain at a standstill at the edges of the Auravasi mainland, but take some more of the island. Tretrid conquers the entirety of Zachodnipaństwo and mostly pulls out of the war, allowing Korćetta to redirect even more troops to the Aivintian front, even retaking lost land as Aivintis is redirecting a lot of its military to Llygad Duw▼
In 1879 Tavaris retakes and frees Reijia from Bana in a decisive defeat. Simultaneously, Aivintis launches the massive Firestar Campaign, and makes a number of large landings in Auravas, but Korćetta redirects a large portion of their military to the seas around Llygad Duw, softening what would otherwise be a devastating attack. The recalling of troops from the eastern front effectively puts it at a standstill. This splitting of troops allows Nagato to take most of the island, and attempts unsuccessful landings from the island to Zemeprievadai. ▼

=== Late War (1880-82) ===▼
In early 1880 the VCC, against the wishes of the Vistari crown, makes a deal with Nagato and Aivintis to go to their side in exchange for reparations. Tavaris and Korćetta run joint operations to weaken Aivintian and Nagatoian naval influences, which they are somewhat successful at, but Vistaraland prevents them from gaining any major victories. Auravas and Zemeprievadai fight ferociously to take back the conquered land, but not a lot is retaken. In late 1880 Vistaraland holds peace talks with Auravasian nations to get reparations and easier trade access in exchange for neutrality in the war.▼
▲In 1879, Tavaris
▲In early 1880, the Vistari Crown Coalition (VCC), against the wishes of the Vistari crown,
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.
