Originally a [[Salovia|Salovian]] territory, it was forcibly annexed by the [[Codexian Empire]] during the [[Salovia#Era of Unrest and the Posolic Wars|Era of Unrest]]. After a couple of decades of Codexian rule, Oscrelians rose up in the [[Oscrelian War of Independence]], successfully breaking away from the Codexians and establishing a kingdom. |

Oscrelia has gone through numerous changes of government since its independence in 1814. Its monarchy was overthrown in 1918 as a reaction to involvement of the [[Great War]], leading to the establishment of a republic. In the 1940s, however, the military leader [[William Thornton]] lead a military coup d'état, and won the [[Oscrelian Civil War|ensuing civil war]]. He established the [[Thorntonist Oscrelia|Oscrelian State]], which lasted until the end of the [[Auroran Imperial War]]. |
