The '''Brau Sea crisis''', also known as the '''Chitpa crisis''' is an ongoing series of maritime and political disputes and subsequent military clashes in the [[Brau Sea]]. The date of the beginning of the crisis is disputed, though it is often considered to be January 4th, 2023 when the government of [[Yuan]] and several central [[Ausiana]]n nations bordering [[Haduastan]] agreed to construct military bases, which Haduastan's government opposed. The crisis escalated dramatically on May 23rd, 2023, when a series of bombings hit military sites in Northern [[Elastan]] and [[Chittagon]], [[Barangadesh]], with the [[Alliance of Central and West Ausianan Cooperation|ACWAC coalition]] blaming Haduastan's government of supporting the terrorist groups responsible. When Haduastan denied the accusations, Yuan sent a carrier fleet into the Brau Sea and formed a blockade around the island of [[Chitpa]]. After days of tensions, including the sinking of a Haduastani tanker and the downing of four [[JU-10 Hammer|Haduastan fighter jets]], Haduastan's government ceded the island of Chitpa to avoid a wider conflict, and on May 27th Yuaneze and aligned ACWAC forces began occupying the island. 

The crisis has been labeled as an extension of the [[Jinchon Sea crisis]] and is considered a possible flashpoint for a second [[World War (Iearth)|World War]] to break out. Spillovers directly related to the Brau Sea crisis include a May 25th, 2023 incident in which three Yuaneze naval vessels entered [[Titania Bay]] and were intercepted by the [[Zamastanian Naval Forces|Zamastanian Navy]] and [[Drambenburg]]ian [[Kreigsmarine|Navy]]. The [[SMS Lange]] sunk the [[JAI Puhan]], while the [[ZMS Elmhill]] sunk the [[JAI Guilin]] and captured the [[JIN Yantao]]. The crisis also led to a [[Coalition of Crown Albatross|CCA condemnation]] of Yuan and [[Qin Chen]], and many international governments closed their embassies in [[Shanghan]] and other ACWAC nations.  

==Background==
Geopolitical tensions have existed in the [[Brau Sea]] region for hundreds of years, but the state of affairs which dominate this particular crisis arose following the [[World War (Iearth)|World War]], with the expulsion of [[Drambenburg]]ian colonizing forces from [[Salubar]] and [[Joraistan]], the partition of [[Haduastan]] and [[Barangadesh]], the increasing importance of shipping routes between the [[Vulkarian Pass]] and the [[Cantalle Ocean]], and the growing influence of [[Yuan]].
