The Gondwana Straits War was a war in Gondwana preceding the Great War.
Course of the War
Early War (1875-76)
In 1875 Nagato attacks Auravas and takes pieces of the coast. In response Zemeprievadai declares war and sends troops north. Vistaraland starts mobilizing the military in Satō. Aivintis declares war on Zemeprivadai, Auravas, and Korćetta. Tavaris declares war on Nagato and their allies to protect trade interests.
in 1876 Most Nagatoian troops are in southern Gondwana, so Vistaraland begins attacking islands around Nagato. Bana declares war on Tavaris, splitting Tavari forces. Nagatoian troops continue to take land in Auravas and Zemeprievadai, albeit at a slowed rate. Korćetta violates a treaty with Tretrid and Tretrid begins attacking Zachodnipaństwo, making massive gains. Aivintis starts gaining land in west Korćetta after a naval invasion. Serdemia joins the war.
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.
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.
1881: Aivintis moves troops back to the mainland to guard against further Serdemia and Korćetta attacks. Auravas and Zemeprievadai troops with the help of the Tavari military retake all the land on the mainland, with only a few Nagatoian holdouts on the island.
1882: The rest of Auravas is retaken. The war has been going on for seven years and both sides sign a white peace.
