Line 46:
The '''sinking of the KKS ''Konstantin Böhm''''' was perpetrated in the early morning of July 29, 2020, by an unknown party flying the [[Flag of Arkalarius|Arkian flag]]. The attack took place in [[Karolingia|Karolingian]] territorial waters in Johannes Bay, in what would have amounted to an act of war. This came after [[Arkalarius]] pressed territorial claims on land that formally belonged to Karolingia, and allegedly moved troops into Karolingian territory.
The effects of the attack were almost immediate, with [[Tretrid]] accusing Arkalarius of perpetrating the attack. Arkalarius denied these claims
The [[League of Novaris]], called upon to mediate the increasingly tense situation, condemned the attacks, though they did not believe Tretridian claims that Arkalarius was responsible. The League also accepted Arkian demands to hold an independence referendum in Karolingia, which would lead to political violence and the eventual collapse of the country.
Line 57:
After the Arkian Civil War ended, the victorious Arkian Empire claimed Neu Arkia's territory as rightfully Arkian. The unpopular oligarchic regime of Neu Arkia likely would have collapsed or been toppled by Arkalarius if Tretrid had not moved to ally itself with the country, propping the state up. Tretrid sought to prevent a resurgent Arkalarius from reclaiming its former territorial extent, to effectively prevent it from regaining its pre-Civil War strength.
This was highly controversial, even in Tretrid itself. Opposition politicians denounced the move as propping up a corrupt, ineffective regime, especially in light of the increasingly unpopular continued [[occupation of Schlesia]]. After members of the Neu Arkian Council were implicated in the corruption scandals around then-Prime Minister Æthelred Wulfricson in 2016, continued Tretridian support of the regime was denounced as corrupt and fueled by bribery from Neu Arkian officials. By the time [[Eoforwine Æthelstanson]] became Prime Minister at the end of the year, he noted his "reluctance" to continue supporting the state
===Karling's coup===
On July 24, 2020, the Prätorianer assassinated the entire ruling council of Neu Arkia. Backed by the Prätorianer, Field Marshal Julius Augustus Karling seized control of the country and declared himself king of the newly proclaimed state of Karolingia.
While the coup was well received within Karolingia, whose populace had languished under the kleptocratic government of Neu Arkia, international opinion was rather more mixed. Mere hours after the coup, Tretridian Prime Minister Eoforwine Æthelstanson formally recognized Karolingia as the legitimate successor state to Neu Arkia
On the other hand, Arkalarius denounced Karling as a "dangerous revolutionary," and sent soldiers to the border between Arkalarius and Karolingia. Furthermore, Arkalarius laid claim to lakes on the Arkian-Karolingian border. Almost immediately, allegations that Arkian soldiers had been sent into Karolingian territory cropped up. Karling placed the army on alert in response, though Arkalarius stringently denied these claims.
