Tretrid: Difference between revisions

 

These intensified Tretridio-Lapinumbian tensions would boil over in 1867 as war broke out between the two South Novaran powers. The [[Tretridio-Lapinumbian War|resulting war]] lasted for two years, in which a land campaign ended up extremely inconclusive. However, the naval dimension of the war proved to be extremely important, as the Tretridian fleet incurred heavy losses on the aging Lapinumbian navy, and at one point was even able to fire upon and severly damage the naval shipyards in Vecitania itself. The war ended without any territorial changes, but it marked Lapinumbia's decline as one of the Novaran great powers. Lapinumbia would no longer be an obstacle to Tretridian naval might.

 

The political situation would continue to develop back in Tretrid, as the Social Democratic Party of Tretrid (SDÞ) was founded by a group of trade unionists in 1879 to try to establish socialism through democratic means. The party rapidly grew due to discontent within the Tretridian working class to the point where the government had to create welfare programs to make it harder for the nascent party to attract people. Despite efforts made by the other parties, by the end of the 19th century, the SDÞ had become one of the largest political parties in Tretrid.
