==History==
===
Around the 11th century, a series of wars erupted in [[Norgsveldet]] which led to the creation of the kingdoms of Riksheim and Novreheim. Many people fled Norgsveldet, and some of them crossed the Concordian Ocean and settled in places like modern-day [[Valkerus]].

The period from the 11th Century to the unification of Tretrid in the 13th Century has been named the "Triarchy" by historians.
===Unification and expansion===
[[File:Tret1256.png|thumb|Tretrid at the time of its unification]]
The newly-unified Tretrid had a significant amount of power, and so Tretrid clashed with [[Dallacqua]], at that time the dominant power in West Novaris. Tretrid managed to gain a series of territorial concessions in a series of wars from the late 13th Century to the 14th Century.

Around the same time, Tretrid waged a number of wars against Norgsveldet to limit Norgsveltian influence over Novaris and to halt the spread of Gustafic Asatru.
===19th century===
Eadgyð II's rule saw Tretrid once again turning to West Novaris, which had changed since the last time Tretrid waged war there in the 1750s. Tretrid started maintaining closer diplomatic ties to the nations in modern-day Aponivia, while still plying a large amount of influence over Seccera despite the Tretridian-Secceran personal union having ended with the death of Bada II in 1802. Tretrid's main concern in the Aponivi regions were the maintenance of a stable balance of power as to best maintain the connection between Tretrid, Seccera, and Northrenpynt. This mainly presented itself in Tretrid aiding the active decline of Dallacqua as it slowly lost territories to Lamanwasser and Tavaris. At the same time, the government quietly instituted a gradual expansion of the Tretridian navy as to better contend with Lapinumbian power in South Novaris.
While South Novaris remained tense, West Novaris would remain stable until the 1840s, when a series of events occurred that would significantly shift the balance of power in the continent. Firstly, a revanchist Dallacqua started attacking its neighbors, leading to the [[First Dallacquan War]]. The war would see Dallacqua occupied by an alliance between Tretrid (and Seccera by extension), Lamanwasser, Beorhmere, New Aloysia, and Tavaris. This joint occupation would last until 1849, when a peace treaty was signed that reconstituted Dallacqua as a sovereign state, though with significantly less territory and as a constitutional monarchy.
However, this new order in West Novaris proved to be all too fragile. The King of Seccera died without heir in the early 1850s, leading to contention over who the next Secceran monarch should be. The two lead claimants to the Secceran throne ended up being a member of the Tretridian royal family and the duke of the Volscine state of [[Arlenburg|Arlenboro]]. Since Seccera was a Volscine state, it fell to the Volscine Diet to mediate between the claimants.
After much deliberation, the Diet eventually ruled in favor of [[Arlenburg|Arlenboro]]. However, tensions within Seccera over the sucession dispute broke out in civil war, which eventually lead to a full conflict between Volscina and Tretrid in the form of the [[Schlesian Crown War|Secceran Crown War]]. Tretrid waged an ultimately unsuccessful campaign to install its candidate for the Secceran throne by force. Though the war only lasted for a few years, it would permanently sour Tretridian-Volscine relations.
Its foothold in Seccera lost, Tretrid had to grapple with the face that Northrenpynt now seemed as distant as ever. Now that it was clear that Tretrid had a major rival in Volscina, it was clear to the government that the navy needed significant expanding. The resulting shipbuilding program put Lapinumbia on edge, and they started accelerating naval development too.
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.

===Post-Auroran Pacific War===
In June 2020, when [[Rodenia]] supported a coup d'etat in the neighboring country of Puntalia, the [[Union of Commonwealth Alliances|UCA]] and the [[NSTO]] acted immediately, [[2020 Puntalia Military Intervention|deploying forces in Puntalia]]. Tretrid worked with the NSTO in deploying forces, including 30,000 Tretridian soldiers and a naval task force that included an aircraft carrier. Tretrid also successfully petitioned the [[League of Novaris]] to condemn Rodenia. However, the seemingly inevitable war was halted when Great Morstaybishlia's Prime Minister, [[Franklin Barvata]], threatened both sides in the crisis with sanctions unless they would sit down and talk. Tretrid was one of the signatories of the [[Puntalian Compromise Treaty]], as it would become known.
