Thrismari Revolutionary War

The Thrismari Revolutionary War, or the Blekingi Revolutionary War, was one of the largest conflicts in Anterian history, and the largest individually Thrismarian war. (((WIP)))

The Beginning of the War

Rising Tensions

the Kingdom of Blechingia and East Blekinge were under Krenyan occupation for almost two hundred years by the time the rebellions began to pop up, however due to mistreatment and oppression of ethnic peoples, many became displeased with the ownership of Krenya over the two nations. The tensions rose as food ran low due to the food being grown in the nations being largely shipped to Krenya, leaving little for those who grew it.

The 'New Blekingia' Uprising

In Western Blechingia, the famine was particularly bad, with a majority of the population not being able to feed themselves. A politician by the name of Francis Beaufort promised the people of the region that he could fix the poverty issues, and that he would resolve the situation in attempt to start a political uprising. He did exactly that. The people of the region cried for independence, and soon those cries turned into actions as people took to the streets in attempt to get change in the region. The monarchy refused to grant the region independence, beginning a violent war for independence in the region. The people took to the name New Blekingia and the movement was lead by Francis Beaufort

Pyor Uprising

2 months after the New Blekingia uprising tensions were high in many of the Blekinge regions, including East Blekinge's second largest city and important port city, Pyor. Pyor hadn't been handed it too hard by the Krenyan occupation until 1801 when the Grand Duke introduced slave labour into the particular region, which caused mass offence. People were subjected to harsh labour in the fishing docks and labour for construction. This lasted 2 months before the hard nosed people of the region had enough and began a rebellion, and miraculously managed to overthrow the slavers and demand independence, which was accepted as the Blechingian royal family didn't want another New Blekingia.

For a few months, they thought that would've sorted the Pyor situation, however, a former slave known as Ferenc Seedorf gained control of the nation and declared war on the Coalition as they were still Krenya occupied.

1799-1805

Blechingia-New Blekingia conflicts

The first 6 years of the war were strange as the Coalition believed they could easily end the war in a few fights, with little loss of tragedy. In 1799, the Coalition tried a straight up invasion of New Blekingia, which only resulted in New Blekingian soldiers moving forwards around 3 miles, which is an unexpected loss however became more expected as the war progressed with Francis Beaufort's tactics. On top of this, many more locals began joining the militia for New Blekingia as the only reason they did not before was fear of loss, which had been removed with the decisive victory. The estimates on numbers was around 230,000 soldiers in the New Blekingian militia and 512,000 in the Blechingian, so they were the favourites.

In early 1801, the New Blekingian army had to hold off 60,000 troops from the Coalition in the Battle of the Ruahihri, and they lost by quite a margin.

East Blekinge-Pyor conflict

Similar happened in East Blekinge with Pyor where they tried an invasion, however it was much worse as Pyor pushed the East Blekinge soldiers back so far that they were considering a surrender. In 1802 the army of Pyor arrived outside Emberek and planned a siege of the small city, which was the first major battle of the war (Battle of Emberek).
