The Besmenian-Tinegardian War was a war that began on October 28th, 1844 with the Besmenian invasion of Heulania.
Background
Between the years 1830 and 1840, the Nortuan Union created an eastern Nortuan empire which occupied the Heulania.
1844-1846: Western Heulania
1847-1849: Central Heulania
1850: Laitstadt
See also: Battle of Laitstadt
In early February of 1850 the Besmenian Army marched towards the Heulania territorial capital of Laitstadt, meeting resistance from Tinegardian militias. Gustaf I had became severely ill in late February of 1850, delegating military leadership to his son, Gustaf II. Gustaf II did not receive word of his military appointment until the Besmenian Army reached Laitstadt. The defending militias (who were volunteers or conscripts at this point) in Laitstadt were poorly equipped and inadequately supplied to mount a defense against the Besmenian Army. General Markus Nyhus was routed a year prior and unable to stage a breakout or counter offensive to relieve the city. The siege of Laitstadt lasted for two weeks until Gustaf II opened discussions for a peace treaty.
Aftermath
See also: Besmenian-Tinegardian Treaty of 1850
The passing of Gustaf I marked the end of the Besmenian-Tinegardian War. Gustaf II signed the Besmenian-Tinegardian Treaty of 1850, ceding Heulania to the Kingdom of Besmenia.
