Tretrid: Difference between revisions

Its foothold in Seccera lost, Tretrid was faced with the fact that it had largely lost its foothold in West Novaris. As a response, the Tretridian navy's expansion was accelerated to improve Tretrid's force-projection capabilities. this put Lapinumbia on edge, causing a naval arms race in South Novaris. Furthermore, Tretrid sponsored the connection of the Transnalpian tunnel to better connect Transnalpia to Tretrid, before integrating Transnalpia as a Tretridian province. This in turn better allowed Tretrid to use Transnalpia as a staging point for further Tretridian engagement in West Novaran affairs.

 

 

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.
