This conflict, from which the Anglian Empire emerged victorious, had important consequences on the balance of Europan powers. In Aurelia, it almost entirely wipes out the Lysian colonies. In Europa, the Anglian Empire now asserts itself as the new power on the continent. The beginning of the war is traditionally dated July 14, 1715, the day of the attack on Tarentum by Edward IV, but clashes had already taken place in Aurelia.

==Summary==
The government of Louis VIII had long been concerned about the designs of [[Great Anglia]] on the colonial domain of Lysia: [[Lysian Louvier]] in Aurelia and [[Lysian Columbia]] in Argis. The subjects of disagreement between Lysia and the Anglian Empire are numerous in Aurelia :


The beginning of the war is traditionally dated July 14, 1715, the day of the attack on Tarentum by Edward IV, but clashes had already taken place in Aurelia.
* Competition in the fur trade to the detriment of honoring treaties with the various native tribes
* The fishing area off Bezanciennes, full of fish, where fishing rights are disputed by everyone
* Anglian sought to expand Anglian Azuria into territory claimed by the Lysian in Aurelia


==Context==
Hostilities started in Aurelia when an Anglian force ambushed a small Lysian force at the [[Battle of Rocheville]] on 14 March 1715. The conflict exploded across the colonial boundaries and extended to Anglian's seizure of hundreds of Lysian merchant ships at sea.

The Anglo-Lysian War (1715-1718) is a conflict opposing the Anglian Empire and the Kingdom of Lysia on the continents of Europa and Aurelia. This conflict, from which the Anglian Empire emerged victorious, had important consequences on the balance of Europan powers. In Aurelia, it almost entirely wipes out the Lysian colonies. In Europa, the Anglian Empire now asserts itself as the new power on the continent. The beginning of the war is traditionally dated July 14, 1715, the day of the attack on Tarentum by Edward IV, but clashes had already taken place in Aurelia.

Summary

The government of Louis VIII had long been concerned about the designs of Great Anglia on the colonial domain of Lysia: Lysian Louvier in Aurelia and Lysian Columbia in Argis. The subjects of disagreement between Lysia and the Anglian Empire are numerous in Aurelia :

  • Competition in the fur trade to the detriment of honoring treaties with the various native tribes
  • The fishing area off Bezanciennes, full of fish, where fishing rights are disputed by everyone
  • Anglian sought to expand Anglian Azuria into territory claimed by the Lysian in Aurelia

Hostilities started in Aurelia when an Anglian force ambushed a small Lysian force at the Battle of Rocheville on 14 March 1715. The conflict exploded across the colonial boundaries and extended to Anglian's seizure of hundreds of Lysian merchant ships at sea.

The war ended with The Treaty of Godstone in 1718. It ended the conflict both in Europa and in Aurelia. The war was successful for Great Anglia, which gained the half of Lysian Louvier in Aurelia,and superiority over the Lysian trading outposts in the wurld.
