The '''Morsto-Oan War''' ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C4%81ori_language Oan]: ''Te Pakanga o nga Oa me nga Morohoti'') was a conflict between [[the Oan Isles]] and [[Great Morstaybishlia]] in1855. Trading of slaves in Oan territory by the Wakatunuye tribe with the Morstaybishlians led to an attack on the MBS Pugilist, a Morst naval vessel. Morstaybishlia declared war in retaliation and took over two-thirds of Oan territory, about half of the captured territories being returned. The war resulted in the cession of Oan territory to the Oan Isles and prohibition of trading in Oan slaves in the Morstaybishlian Empire. The war resulted in the overthrow of the Oan political elites and widespread economic, political and social reforms. Despite the alliance which eventually formed between the two countries, the war is a sensitive political topic in the Oan Isles and a source of continued strain in relations.
