After the Meri Lauluan Coalitions's defeat, the archipelago became a Morstaybishlian colony. During this time, Meri Laulu became a hot spot for merchants from Yasteria, Concord, and Gondwana to exchange and trade goods with Morst traders. Inhabitants of the archipelago became slaves to the Morstaybishlians, with some serving as manual laborers and other serving as troops in the [[Royal Armed Forces of the Empire]] during the [[Great War]].

In 1920, [[Andrew Matagumpay]] and his forces occupy parts of Sokala in a bid to expel the Morstaybishlians from Sokala and declare independence. Despite fielding a smaller military because of the Great War, Morstaybishlian and Sokalan loyalists resisted the rebellion. Despite heavy losses on both sides, the frontline was unable to move. Recognizing the stalemate, Matagumpay and Morstaybishlian prime minister [[Orson Klarass]] agreed to have talks which resulted in recognition of Sokalan independence in September, 1920.
After the [[Great War]], Morstaybishlia's military presence in the archipelago weakened and despite being granted home rule by Morstaybishlia, the various peoples that resided within the archipelago were vying for independence. In 1920, native tribes lead by [[Andrew Matagumpay]] took over the cities of [[Seibhu]], the then capital of Sokala, and the neighboring city city of [[Bondoc]]. Clashes between Matagumpay's forces and the forces of the Sokalan government and Morstaybishlia occured throughout Sokala. Despite 7 weeks of fighting resulting in heavy losses, the frontline ceased to move and resulted in a stalemate. Talks were launched between Matagumpay and [[Orson Klarass]], the prime minister of Morstaybishlia. After a week of back and forth, an agreement was formed. In exchange of Morstaybishlia keeping the city of [[Sontoc]], [[Nada Naval Base]], and [[Betho Air Base]] under Morst control for 75 years, Sokalan independence recognized by Morstaybishlia as an independent nation.


Despite Matagumpay's wishes to establish a democratic republic, people were showing support for establishing a monarchy headed by Matagumpay and his clan. This was due to the Matagumpay tribe being one of the descendants of the Tanashiri tribe, the tribe that was the monarchy of Meri Laulu. After a month of debate, Matagumpay established Sokala as a monarchy with the Matagumpay family as its first royal family.
