Since the Partition of Southeast Coius in 1940, which created the Republic of Lavana. Hacyinia and Lavana have been involved in a number of wars, conflicts, and military standoffs. A long-running dispute over the borders of both states, along with historical, ethnical, and religious claims to territory have led to conflict. Initially the conflict revolved around land claims by both countries following the creation of Lavana, termed the Galshir Conflict. The establishment of the modern borders in 1961 following the Third Galshir Conflict (1961-1963), gave way to State-sponsored terrorism and support for religious, nationalist, secessionist, political groups in each country by the other. In 1992, Lavana invaded Hacyinia and established the secessionist People's Republic of The Yoloten in the conquered territory.

Background

The Partition of Southeast Coius saw the partition of Estmerish controlled Southeast Coius into two states Lavana and Dezevau. Hacyinia held large land claims to territory in the Estmerish possession, based on ethnical as well as religious basis. Although not directly under Estmerish control and influence, numerous Princely states located on the border between Estmerish controlled territory and Hacyinia were coerced to join Lavana rather than Hacyinia, with numerous rulers which on paper were granted the choice of joining Lavana, Dezevau, or Hacyinia being forced to join Lavana. Numerous rulers as well opted to join Lavana willingly despite stark desires in their population. Hacyinia which had reached several agreements with Estmere following the transfer of former Gaullican administration of the region to Estmere following the Great War, had expected the transfer of territory from Estmere and the joining of several princely states with the nation.

Estmere sought to placate the nationalistic Confederation of Free Lavana (CFL) by creating a majority Kachai state, along with reducing the power and influence of Dezevau, which was on the verge of becoming a full blown Councillist state. Lavana was favored by Estmere as the primary democratic anti-councillist state, in Estmerish attempts to curtail socialist power in the region as much as possible. When the decision to partition the territory came to be, Estmere favored the establishment of a strong Kachai anti-socialist state over the creation of a separate Oroqic state as was desired by republican nationalist Oroqics, or giving land to Hacyinia.

Wars

First Galshir Conflict (1940)

Upon partition, Hacyinian forces protested the expected partition of Estmerish territory demanding that land inhabited by majority Oroqic populations be turned over to Hacyinia. Numerous princely states in the region of Galshir with large Oroqic populations and friendly Zejas, as well were coerced heavily by both Estmere and Lavana to join Lavana. Lavana initially prepared for conflict with Dezevau, as both countries struggled to deal with the large migrations occurring. Hacyinia decided to establish its own borders and bring friendly princely states into the country. The Princely state of the Yoloten was the largest of all princely states and held a majority of Oroqic populations along with a large Irfanic population, however the state was controlled by a Badist Kachai Zeja, who desired joining Lavana. Hacyinia armed and provided support to rebels in the Yoloten.

On October 21st, mere weeks after independence Lavana recognized a state of war between Lavana and Hacyinia, after Hacyinian forces were welcomed by friendly Zejas. Hacyinia proceeded to invade the Yoloten, Galshir, and Terjasa. Large sections of Lavana were occupied by Hacyinia, which declared this to be the natural borders of its state. Lavana which was on the verge of conflict with Dezevau, along with internal infighting in the government, agreed to a Community of Nations brokered ceasefire at the end of the 22nd of December 1940. Hacyinia claims the 1940 borders to this day, which it formally incorporated into its nation.

Second Galshir Conflict (1956)

The Second Galshir Conflict in 1956, was a 3 month conflict in the Galshir region.

Third Galshir Conflict (1961-1963)

The Socialist victory in the Lavanan Civil War, and the Hacyinian support of the Republican Lavanans in the conflict, along with outstanding territorial disputes between both countries. Resulted in Lavana conducting an invasion of Galshir with aid from Dezevau.

Lavana retakes all of its territory except Yoloten

Other armed engagements

Apart from the aforementioned wars, there have been skirmishes between the two nations from time to time, along with support for insurgencies, and combatants in civil conflicts. Some have bordered on all-out war, while others were limited in scope.

Past skirmishes and standoffs

Quintillion skirmishes

• 2009 Standoff: Following shelling of PAMFY forces, and fighting in the DMZ between Hacyinian militias and the PAMFY throughout January and February 2009. Lavana moved troops to its western border, as it demanded Hacyinia intervene to prevent further fighting. Hacyinia moved troops to the Yoloten and Lavanan borders. After a week of standoff, the Militias stopped their attacks and with international mediation, both sides ended the standoff after a week.

Hacyinian involvement in the Lavanan Civil War (1959-1961)

During the Lavanan civil war, Hacyinia in control of 1/3 of Lavanan territory, provided support to the Republicans during the conflict. Ukilen and Majgar groups aligned with the Lavanan Section of the Workers International, were involved in attacks against the Hacyinian state, which they saw as an illegitimate Oroqic state.

Hacyinian involvement in the Lavanan Internal conflict (1961-2004)

Following the Lavanan victory in the civil war, and the start of the 3rd Galshir War between Lavana and Hacyinia, the latter provided aid to rebel Oroqic groups which were annexed into Lavana following Hacyinian defeat. Hacyinia supported major Oroqic insurgencies in western Lavana, until 2004.

Lavanan involvement in the Hacyinian Internal conflict (1978-)

The Hacyinian Internal Conflict which had started in 194X, had entered a new phase in 1978, as Lavana aided Socialist groups in their struggle against Hacyinia. Lavanan support for Yoloten secessionists is equally considered in this state, although the establishment of the People's Republic of the Yoloten in 1992, reduced Lavanas involvement. Lavana is still involved in insurgent actions.

Lavanan involvement in the Yoloten Internal conflict (1993-2004)

Lavana was directly involved in the internal conflict of the Yoloten following the establishment of the state during the Yoloten war of 1992-1993. Lavana in 2004 removed all troops from the Yoloten, and officially does not engage Hacyinian Loyalist militias in the state. Although Lavanan support for the PAMFY remains.
