===Tretridio-Lapinumbian War===
===Rapprochement===
The conclusion of the Tretridio-Lapinumbian War left the foundation of Lapinumbian power projection broken and shattered its image as South Novaris's dominant naval power.
A declining Reiktic Empire, in an effort to take advantage of the situation and hoping to rejuvenate itself with militaristic fervor, launched an invasion of Bersaleria, kicking off a war in the 1880s. Worried that Reiktic encroachment would endanger its now largely uncontested dominance in South Novaris, and hoping to use Lapinumbia as a buffer against North Gondwana, Tretrid provided Lapinumbia with support before outright joining the war. Lapinumbia was eventually able to fight off the Reiktic invasion, and Lapinumbia would realign its foreign policy to be gradually more and more friendly with Tretrid. Tretrid and Lapinumbia would sign a non-aggression pact in 1893.
While Tretrid would ultimately get entangled in the Great War, Lapinumbia stayed out of the conflict and instead focused on profiting off of the economic turmoil that resulted from the war. One of the most notable manifestations of this policy was that it leased a portion of its dockyards to other countries. Tretrid was one major beneficiary of this program, using it to grow and maintain its fleet during the course of the war, though it would ultimately pay Lapinumbia billions of pounds for their use.
In the immediate aftermath of the Great War, with Tretrid weakened and in the midst of political turmoil, Lapinumbia considered a massive campaign of rearmament to challenge Tretrid's place as the dominant South Novaran power, but eventually decided against it with the belief that the dominant South Novaran power would inevitably end up in conflict with Volscina, and that saddling Tretrid with that rivalry would give Lapinumbia the strategic room to pursue its own agenda.
