Oan Defence Forces: Difference between revisions

Overall the war was not a loss per se, but it did not yield in benefits that justified the cost. It was a loss in that despite military victories, the Oan Isles did not achieve its major aims. These include installing a puppet government in Xagrurg and placing southern Xagrurg under military occupation. Although the Republic of Xagrurg was reinstituted and the military junta was usurped, the ROX was not made to pay damages for the war nor was it maleable to Oan influence. It was also considered a loss because the economic and political value of its strategic targets and objectives was nil. The occupation of Xagrurg was meaningless to the Oan Isles and it could have just focused on bringing back a democratic government. The terrorist pretext used to invade the Yor Isles was neutralised, so it was foolish for the Oan Isles to continue the war on its own interests rather than the broader goal of stopping the Xagrurgian threat that was shared by the allies.
