In 1851 the free state of South Mazuria invaded Slovertia's capital Brativas which has switched back and forth between the Mazurian and Sloverti nations for hundreds of years. Slovertia launched a counter invasion pushing all the way into South Mazuria itself, Slovertia annexed South Mazuria in 1855 and incorporated it into The Kingdom of Slovertia. In 1936 the third Sloverti civil war broke out with the republican fraction winning in 1940 and taking control of the country, turning it into a Republic.
