Line 48:
Undeterred by the first defeat, Corbinn and Naomi Truden II committed more resources and troops to aiding the endangered ROE government. The ROE government was evacuated to Andel where they set up a base of operations and the ROE Navy retreated to Indigo Island. Axdel and Kuthernburg sent air strikes on Yor. Military installations were damaged. With the Uspalrian forces in Yor weakened, Axdel and Kuthernburg troops made land fall. They fought against the Uspalrian forces. Attempts to preserve critical infrastructure proved inadequate as the Uspalrian retreated from the islands burning everything in their wake. Nevertheless, Axdel and Kuthernburg placed Yor under military occupation and the ROE returned to the islands to resume reconstruction and rehabilitation efforts.
===Battle of Kostoria-Obertonia===
Because the ROE remained the internationally recognised government of Lower Ethalria, Uspalria was unable to access international loans and the foreign exchange and gold reserves held by the [[Auroran Central Bank]] that would be required to fund the war effort. Although Uspalria undertook wartime economics whereby resources were directed toward the war effort, it was insufficient.
Uspalria then decided to attack [[Kostoria-Obertonia]] and place it under military occupation. Kostoria-Obertonia was also attacked because the Rivendale Pact was afraid that Kostoria-Obertonia would provide the Bursil Alliance with a conduit from which to attack them from the south. Moreover, Kostoria-Obertonians spoke Ethalrian and belonged to the idea of the Greater Ethalria that was part of Uspalrian and Ethalrian political ideology. With these strategic, political and economic considerations, Uspalria attacked the country.
With Kuthernburg and Axdel fighting Uspalria in Yor, they were unable to aid Kostoria-Obertonia. Thus, Uspalria marched its forces into the country. The government of Kostoria-Obertonia (KO) remained in power but they were under the control of the Uspalrian occupiers. As planned, Uspalria extorted KO for its funds and used the country to defeat Axdel and Kuthernburg in Yor. Nevertheless, Uspalria failed to make any headway in Yor and was facing the prospect of an invasion of MBE, so they lost the strategic advantage that Yor occupied.
In the latter half of the APW, Uspalria was on the defensive as Axdelian and Kuthern forces used Yor to launch strikes into KO. KO was legally challenging for Axdel and KO due to the fact that its government remained in power and was nominally a member of the Bursil Alliance. Uspalria made a foolish move by forcing the KO government to switch allegiance from the Rivendale Pact to the Bursil Alliance. This provided the legal room to invade the country.
Axdelian and Kuthern Navies placed KO under a blockade and implemented a no-fly zone. They continued air strikes on strategic targets. Attempts by Uspalria to repel the Bursil forces proved weak as both it and Ethalria were forced to face an invasions from the MBE to the north. The Uspalrian High Command decided to abandon KO to focus their efforts on protecting their own nations from invasions to the north. They used the same scorched earth policies that they administered in Yor but to even worse effect. Uspalria allowed a nuclear energy facility in KO to superheat and meltdown. The facility exploded and leaked nuclear waste into the air, water and soil. This was the worst sapient rights disaster in the history of Aurora. It undermined domestic confidence in Uspalria and worsened international condemnation, drying up sources of funding, fuel, parts and food.
Axdel, Kuthernburg, MBE and the Oan Isles sent humanitarian aid and resources to contain and curb the spread of the radiation and evacuate people from the country. Millions fled to Uspalria, Ethalria, MBE and Axdel. MBE and Axdel undertook repatriation efforts to other nations such as The Oan Isles etc. Fearing for the lives of their soldiers, Axdel and Kuthernburg decided not to pursue an attack via Kostoria-Obertonia and instead coordinate with MBE to attack from the south while the attacked from the north.
