Shudo-Hijaran War

The Shudo-Hijaran War is an ongoing armed conflict in the Black Sea and the island of Uroboria. With many reasons one including kidnapping of Queen Sharaunque I of Ascadylea as well as the death of Hiigaran Prime Minister, Sergey Mikhailov, the war had gained steam and blew when the Shudonese had attacked Hiigara.

Origins
Immediately after the East Uroborian War, the government of Shushtrepistaz issued an ultimatum to forces of the Hiigaran Confederacy demanding the removal of Hijaran forces from the Uroborian Islands. This ultimatum came soon after the Death of Hijaran Prime Minister Sergey Mikhailov in a suspected Shudonese terrorist action dubbed the "White Roses attack".

After receiving the ultimatum, the Hiigaran Confederacy issued a set of demands to the government of Shushtrepistaz which called for re-entry of Hijaran naval forces into the Sea of Japan as well as the extradition of seventeen Shudonese individuals who were said to have been involved in the White Roses attack.

When Shushtrepistaz refused to remove it's naval blockade, Hijaran troops forcefully entered East Uroboria. On March 27, 2012; Hijaran ships passed the Shudonese naval blockade. Immediately after, two vessels of the Chernomorski Fleet were sunk from making contact with mines, marking the official decleration of war between Hiigara and Shushtrepistaz.

Invasion of Hiigara
On March 28, 2012; the Navy of Shushtrepistaz made landing in the Hijaran city of Al Garibat and began deploying bombs. The Grand Al Garibat Sajuuk Temple, considered to be the major temple of the Argidinia region of Hiigara fell victim to bombing, killing many refugees and calling for the evacuation of the city.

On March 30, the Socialist Republic of Kamchatka conducted air raids on Morskaja Gora, the primary port of the Albion Republic in Hiigara.

On March 31st, after the conquering of North Uroboria Hiigaran Military forces launched an Air Raid accompanied by Assault Ships onto the Northern Naval base of Kario, taking out most of the base. The Shudonese had retaliated causing a naval battle that lasted 6 hours with most of the Shudonese side destroyed, killing most of the sailors, the remaining Hiigaran fleet was taken out by a Angel's Bay military fleet 5 hours later.

On April 1st, Unified forces arrived in the Hiigaran city Argindia were joint strike forces of Shushtrepistaz, Kamchatka, and Obyershire had lead to the burning and looting of the Hiigaran city of Argindia, the city Saturday Morning was woken by tanks going down the square, where armed soldiers had taken the citizens of Argindia, and proceeded with a convoy that would take them to Nogovicka and other non-war zones, the capital of AIN.

Creation of the Neutral Powers
In the early days of the war, Cattala condemned aggressor states, mostly Unified Powers, and declared its neutrality in the war, despite having an alliance with the Hiigaran Confederacy. The government repeated its assertion of neutrality and deployed the navy to defend its territorial waters from both Unified and Europact Nations after the rescuing of the Tzar of Kushan-Lesov by its navy. Lower Columbia stayed silent in the first week of the war, whilst Galbadia pledging logistical and technical support for the Europact nations and the Atlantic Federation pledged its support for Ascadylea in its search for its Queen. Envoys from Cattala spent more than a week in the Atlantic Federation after the announcement.

On the 2nd of April, after the Hiigaran city of Argindia was razed, Cattala's government announced it was preparing to "stop all military traffic in the eastern and central Mediterranean Sea" and was recalling its fleet in Oceania and mobilised the whole of the Armato Salvatore. The envoys in Northern Veratlantia released a press statement confirming their plans to hold a press conference shortly, whilst the Atlantic Federation remained silent about deployments to the Hiigaran Front. 8 hours after the Government announced its plans, the Admiralty of Cattala confirmed it had closed the eastern Mediterranean, surprising the Unified and Europact countries who had expected a blockade to take several weeks to organise. Cattala claimed it was to " limit the spread of the War of the Queen into Western Europe" and to preserve its own maritime sovereignty. Announcements repeatedly used the phrase "with the full force of the realms", which was initially believed to mean Cattala and Roumeli.

Early in the morning on the 3rd of April, a surprise press conference was held by the Cattalian High Commissioner, President Elisian of the Federation and King Harold of Northern Veratlantia, in which they confirmed that Northern Veratlantia forces were already stationed in Cattala and participating in the blockade, and that the Federal government was "strongly considering" sending support for Cattala and Northern Veratlantia. At 11am local time, a major air exercise took place over Celeste with fighter jets from Cattala, Northern Veratlantia and the Atlantic Federation flying in formation over the city. Dozens of ships in the blockade, that had been flying just the Cattalian ensign, hoisted the Northern Veratlantian standard alongside, revealing that the rapid launch of the blockade was due to the arrival of the extra naval assets. Analysts from RMI and VBN News realised after the conference that the phrase "with the full force of the realms" used the day before by Cattala's foreign ministry may have meant Cattala and Northern Veratlantia. King Harold confirmed that half of his country's independent forces were operating with Cattala and the Atlantic Federation formally withdrew its support for the war and declared neutrality.

One hour later, after the High Commissioner to Lower Columbia was seen visiting King Zachary in his residence, Lower Columbia announced it was joining the Cattalian and Atlantic Federation in "taking action to end the War of the Queen" and deployed its training fleet in Cattala to enforce a blockade of the Suez Canal, effectively stopping all military traffic in the Mediterranean and Black Sea. The fleet arrived on the 4th of April, and as of the 13th of April both blockades are being maintained. Supplies from Cattala are assisting the vessels in both flotillas.

End of Syldavian Involvement
After the Hiigaran lead revolution on the nation of Syldavia the nation's leader had been overthrown and ousted. This had lead to the creation of Borduria after Yuri Leminov used his last remaining efforts to block further restoration of Syldavian lands. This had lead to the official proclamation to end of support for the war by the president of Syldavia.

Movement of Shudonese Forces
Due to the release of secret documents relating to the information of recent unknown deaths of officials in Hiigara, had lead Shushtrepistaz to launch a full investigation. The investigation that eventually resulted in the connections with the Bordurian special forces, leading to the Shudonese declaring war on the nation of Borduria and moving most of their forces from Hiigara to Borduria, the first attack, known as Operation Sakhalin, was to take out the many airbases on Sakhalin. Two days later the Shudonese had successfully taken over the land and were striking mainland Borduria for a final sweep. Due to the partial redeployment from Hiigara, many Kamakatchan military officers had to take their place.
