Your Nation's Most Devestating Conflict

[Luziyca]

It depends on how we define damage. However, in the modern era, the most devastating conflict may have been the Third Namo-Luziycan War in 1971 (OOC note: the articles are a bit outdated right now).

Was the conflict internal or external?: External
What was the cause of the conflict?: Vulan Incident: while the exact details are a bit hazy, we did wander into the town of Vulan and a firefight broke out.
If it was an internal conflict, who were the factions involved? If external, what nations/groups were you fighting?: We were fighting Namor.
What was the outcome of the conflict, and was there a definitive victor?: Namor took some land from the constituent republic of Nantai, mainly most of Mai County, and most of the Tai Hills.
How many casualties resulted from the conflict?: 1,171 people according to our statistics, 2,114 according to Namorese statistics.

While this is not the deadliest war (we lost 3,000 in the First Namo-Luziycan War in the 1890s that saw us take Nantai) that we have had, it destroyed the fisheries of the Gulf of Gelyevich, caused the end of large-scale oil production in the Gulf by Namor and Luziyca until the 1990s, and led to a decade of stagflation that only got worse with a recession just as things were starting to get better. The economy only really recovered by the mid-1980s.

[The Litan Imperium]

The conflict in question is the 70 year conflict known as the Arashi War, lasting from 1952-2022

Arashi and various smaller islands felt as though they had no voice and tried to leave. The Imperatorial administration didn't like that and mobilized the Litan military to reestablish order and control of the islands.

[Stellar Colonies]

(Or The Second War of Defense)

Was the conflict internal or external?:
External.

What was the cause of the conflict?:
The conflict was triggered by first contact with an extremely combative and aggressive civilization. Upon contact, they immediately initiated a massive series of strikes and genocides against unprepared member states of the then Interstellar Coalition.

If it was an internal conflict, who were the factions involved? If external, what nations/groups were you fighting?:
The conflict was against a civilization that goes by many names, although the most common one used amongst Confederates is the "Extirpators".

What was the outcome of the conflict, and was there a definitive victor?:
The conflict was largely defensive at first, with a scattered and disorganized resistance against the Extirpators forcing the loosely bound Interstellar Coalition to be welded into the Amalgamation, with centralized control and a more unified war effort assisted by that central leadership and effective communication among members. Adaptation to the type of conflict and the status of unofficial allies already fighting the same enemy eventually led to the Extirpators being crushed, scattered, and hunted down after centuries of hard fighting. In the aftermath, the extreme centralized rule was relaxed, although the vague outlines of a unified government remained as the Amalgamation was reformed as the current Confederacy.

How many casualties resulted from the conflict?:
It is unknown how many died in the conflict, but it is certain to be in the billions at minimum. Every effort was made to destroy the Extirpators or at minimum obliterate their ability to retain a position of prominence in known space.

the war with the Russian Empire, 1877-1883

When the son of Suleyman reached 18 Sultan Selim stepped down and became the first Grand Vizier of the new Sultan, Mehmed III., the father of our current sultan Mustafa VI. Selim is seen as a succesful leader, having safed our nation from ruin and from being picked apiece by the "great powers". After the victory in 1883 the treaty of Sofia firmly reassured the Hamidiyan Empire as a "great power" in its own right and Sultan Mehmed as a leading figure of Europe. Mehmed III. was deeply grateful to his uncle Selim, and in fact the nation*s first Dreadnought Battleship was named "Sultan Selim III." in 1907.
