In March 2011, Inglaterra invaded and subsequently annexed the Kolmhark Islands from Greater Niagara. During the MAYBE POLITICAL TENSIONS OF NIAGARA???. Then-president Sebaastian Wijk had discussed the possibility of having the Kolmhark Islands "returned" to Inglaterra, citing that when Inglaterra was a colony of Niagara the islands had been a part of that dominion. Additionally, Inglaterra claimed that the Inglaterran-speaking minority of roughly 300 residents were oppressed by the Niagaran government and Niagaran-speaking majority of Kolmhark residents. On 18 March 2011, 17 vessels belonging to Inglaterra left the port of Harkzel and headed north. Inglaterra claimed that these ships would be preforming exercises in international waters. No alarm was raised under 20 November when the ships suddenly changed course and entered Kolmhark waters. Later that same day, Inglaterran marines landed across all three islands. Inglaterra claimed that the territorial police helicopter had buzzed one of the Inglaterran ships, provoking the response.
Following the annexation, Inglaterra escalated its naval presence in the surrounding sea as a deterrent to any Niagaran or Furbish attempt to reclaim the islands by force. Despite the escalation, a joint Antarctic-Niagaran-Furbish force was organized to liberate the islands from Inglaterran occupation.
Niagara and many other countries condemned the annexation and consider it to be a violation of international law and the agreements of Inglaterra's borders as set by the settlements at the end of the Third Great War. The annexation led to major powers introducing sanctions. The Global Community also rejected the annexation, adopting a resolution affirming the annexation to be illegal and violating the rights of the Kolmhark Islands to determine their nationality. The Inglaterra government opposes the "annexation" label, with Wijk defending the annexation as complying with the principle of the self-determination of peoples, claiming the territorial government had requested annexation.
The annexation the Kolmhark Islands was the flashpoint of the Kolmhark War, which ended with Inglaterran forces being pushed off the Islands and Niagara retaking possession of them. Despite this, the Inglaterran government maintains that the Islands are rightful Inglaterran territory to this day.
