The Four Year's War (also known as Guerre Intercoloniale in Lysian) was the first of colonial war fought between Lysian Louvier and Mantellan Ionio along with their respective Native allies. The clashes occur for the control of the fishing of the Gulf of Sanremo, the fur of the Saint-Pierre river and the bay of Anjou. This is the first colonial war between the Lysian colonists of Lysian Louvier and the Mantellan colonists of Ionian Mantella.
North Aurelia at the end of the 17th century
The Mantellan settlers were more than 524,000 at the beginning of the war, outnumbering the Lysians 8 to 1. However, the Mantellans lacked military leadership and had a difficult relationship with their indigenous tribes.
Although the Lysians were vastly outnumbered, they were more politically unified and contained a disproportionate number of adult males with military backgrounds. Realizing their numerical inferiority, they developed good relationships with the indigenous peoples in order to multiply their forces and made effective use of hit-and-run tactics.
Causes of the war
Tensions had been high since the early days of the settlements. When Clément du Vent arrived in 1576 in Aurelia to create the Lysian colony, the Mantellan were already settled since 1520. The first cohabitations already showed signs of conflict with the settlers fighting for fishing places and the fur trade. Despite several attempts of negotiations in 1615, 1632 and 1637 , to try to get the two colonies to agree on their common borders, all failed. In addition, the Lysian settlers had had a different approach with the local tribes than the Mantellan settlers, which favored the opinion of the tribes towards the colony of Lysian Louvier. This allowed Lysian Louvier's settlers to incite native ambushes on Mantellan merchants and border patrols which deeply annoyed the Mantellan government and disrupted trade in the region.
