The '''Sieuxerr-Tyrannian Conflict of 1978''' was a political and later military conflict between Sieuxerr, New Tyran and Portcullia. It saw mostly air and naval combat in Casaterra and ground fighting in Portcullia. It resulted in the detonation of six nuclear devices, evenly spread in detonations between Sieuxerr and New Tyran, but heavily lopsided in kilotonnage used. Sieuxerr used just 40 kilotons, while New Tyran used some 210 kilotons, which was nearly seven times the kilotons that were collectively dropped between the two Tyrannian atomic bombs used in the Pan-Septentrion War. | The '''Sieuxerr-Tyrannian Conflict of 1978''' was a political and later military conflict between Sieuxerr, New Tyran and Portcullia.

The Sieuxerr-Tyrannian Conflict of 1978 was a political and later military conflict between Sieuxerr, New Tyran and Portcullia. It saw mostly air and naval combat in Casaterra and ground fighting in Portcullia. It resulted in the detonation of six nuclear devices, evenly spread in detonations between Sieuxerr and New Tyran, but heavily lopsided in kilotonnage used. Sieuxerr used just 40 kilotons, while New Tyran used some 210 kilotons, which was nearly seven times the kilotons that were collectively dropped between the two Tyrannian atomic bombs used in the Pan-Septentrion War.
The war would end with international intervention, Tyrannian Prime Minister X being removed from power, the abdication of Napoléon V, and unilateral denuclearization between Sieuxerr and Tyran. The conflict would also be a major influencing factor in the global denuclearization which would take plate in the 1980s.
The conflict deeply strained relations between the two nations, nearly bringing them to total nuclear conflict. In the early 1990s, a warming of relations was underway and by the start of the 21st century, relations had begun to bloom again, being called a new "Belle Époque" by Emperor Napoleon VII.
In Portcullia, the conflict saw that Tyrannian bases would remain in the nation, however they would be denuclearized. Along with this, Portcullia would be the primary inspector of ensuring the nuclear weapons on both sides were properly demilitarized. In some more pro-Portcullian nationalist sources, the conflict is known as the Second War of Portcullian Independance.
Background
Pan-Sep War
In the early years of the Pan-Septentrion War, Sieuxerr found itself increasingly overwhelmed by Casaterran Axis forces and had to rapidly expand its armed forces. To pay for this, massive loans were taken out with many nations, including many from friendly New Tyran. In 1938, New Tyran had begun a commission dedicated to the development of nuclear weaponry, however they lacked critical experienced personnel and material, both of which Sieuxerr had. Tyran requested many of these personnel and materials from Sieuxerr, in exchange for these assets, promised a large number of funds and also the "superbomb" that NT was wishing to develop.
Sieuxerr agreed, one of the benefits they also saw was no longer needing to fund these development groups. After the personnel transfer took place, Sieuxerr further skeletonized its nuclear research teams, moving what personnel were left to other projects like radar development, jet and rocket engine development, and also computational machine equipment. A small cadre of student-researchers were left with a nearly non-existent budget to pursue nuclear theory on their own.
In 1940, as the war had begun to turn into Sieuxerr's favor, Sieuxerr began to push a number of inquires about the progress of the weapon. However intense secrecy surrounding the project lead Tyran to ignore, and later to outright deny any attempts for Sieuxerr to get updated on the progress. In response to this, Sieuxerr attempted to infiltrate agents into Tyran to locate the personnel and the facilities associated with the project. However Tyrannian counter-intellgence found the majority of the agents, purposefully detaining and executing one of them under the claims of them being Ostlandic spies.
This would result in Sieuxerr expanding its own nuclear program, however it would still be seriously hindered due to the lack of experienced researchers. Tensions slowly built up over the years, with some speculation that the small number of Tyrannian troops deployed to Sieuxerr in comparison to the number of troops deployed into Vihoslavia was a result of these tensions.
