Tretrid: Difference between revisions

Line 150:

Tretrid has been a colonial empire for most of its history, starting in the 15th century with the establishment of [[Tretridian West Novaris]]. After the [[War of the Tretridian Succession]], in which Tretridian West Novaris was partitioned by [[Norgsveldet]] and Asendavia, Tretrid maintained a colony in the form of [[Tretridian Nordenpunto]], and later established [[Transnalpia]] as a means to easier access Nordenpunto. However, in 1981 [[Nordenpunto]] gained independence, seemingly marking an end to the Tretridian Colonial Empire. However, Tretrid still has [[Transnalpia]] as a dependency.

~~Even without its colonies,~~ Tretrid has historically been one of the premier powers of Novaris, which would often ~~bring~~ it into conflict with other nations. ~~From~~ the ~~late~~ ~~18th~~ ~~Century~~ ~~onwards~~, Tretrid ~~often~~ ~~clashed~~ with [[Arkalarius]] in a power ~~struggle~~ ~~over~~ ~~Novaris~~, ~~leading~~ to the ~~two~~ ~~countries~~ ~~being~~ on opposing sides of the [[Great War]] and eventually ~~culminating~~ in the Novaran Cold War ~~throughout~~ the 20th ~~Century~~. The collapse of the [[Arkian Confederation]] and the resulting [[Arkian Civil War]] ended the Novaran Cold War in Tretrid's favor. However, the rise and fall of [[Karolingia]], among other things, have reignited tensions between Tretrid and Arkalarius, enough to the point where most agree that the Karolingian crisis marked the start of a Second Novaran Cold War.

Tretrid has historically been one of the premier powers of Novaris, which would often brought it into conflict with other nations. Indeed, the first 4 centuries of the unified Tretrid's history was largely characterized by its power struggles with Dallacqua, though this largely ended as Dallacqua declined. During the 18th century, Tretrid fought a war with [[Ethalria (Grand Matriarchy)|Ethalria]] and waged multiple wars against Norgsveldet. However, the rise of [[Arkalarius]] as a regional power in Novaris and later as a great power brought it into direct conflict with Tretrid, starting in the early 19th century. This rivalry resulted in the countries taking opposing sides in the [[Great War]] and eventually culminated in the Novaran Cold War that pervaded much of the 20th century.

Indeed, even though Tretrid has only the third highest military expenditure in Novaris, Tretrid more than makes up for it with soft power; indeed, its admission to the [[North Concordian Economic Forum]] and its role in creating the [[League of Novaris]] have only served to amplify this. Tretrid also largely maintains its position of power through alliances, most notably the [[Tolinsk Accords]], though Tretrid also maintains observer status in the [[NSTO|North Shield Treaty Organization]] and [[IRSA|Interregional Security Accords]]. Tretrid's system of alliances has been argued to be the main reason why Tretrid still remains the dominant power in West Novaris, especially compared to the significantly more diplomatically isolated Arkalarius.
