Daobac's independence in 1845 resulted in a sudden geopolitical shift in the area as the island nation opened a new entry point into the Ozeros ocean through the Kayatman sea as it had been previously been controlled exclusively by [[Kajera]]. Many nations sought to establish friendly relations with Daobac in the hopes of allowing their goods to enter the diverse and rich Ozerosi market. Both Tsurushima and Anachak were quick to establish trade relations with Daobac and invested heavily in Daobac’s public infrastructure projects in the hopes to gain a favorable standing with the Daoan government. Tsurushima in particular helped develop not only Daobac’s infrastructure but also its armed forces. During this time, Daobac’s foreign policy was divided into three major factions within the Daoan Congress between those who wished closer relations with either: Tsurushima, Anachak Kang or the Ozerosi countries. While Tsurushima, Ozerosi nations and Anachak engaged in covert lobbying to achieve favorable trade deals, those from Anachak wished to install pro-Anachak politicians in the Daoan Congress to engage in subversion. Their ultimate goal was to initiate a general referendum within Daobac to become a province/colony of Anachak. Various pro-Anachak political parties were funded by Anachak throughout 1850 - 1897 and were able to gain a foothold in the Daoan Congress. However on 3 July 1897, a meeting between Anachak agents and pro-Anachak Daoan congressmen and businessmen was interrupted by Daoan Law Enforcement agents. Documents and other evidence recovered from the meeting revealed that the Daoan congressmen and businessmen were offered various financial rewards to propose pro-Anachak legislation in Congress. Both the Daoan congressmen and Anachak agents were charged with espionage and imprisoned, an action which the Kra government strongly condemned and demanded the immediate release of their agents, claiming that they were not civilians, but ambassadors who have the rights of diplomatic immunity. Daobac rejected these claims and did not release the Anachak agents.

The Cross-Strait War, also commonly referred to as the Daoan-Kra War, was an intense armed conflict fought between Anachak Kang and an alliance between Daobac and Tsurushima from 6 July 1897 until 4 February 1898. The war was borne out of Anachak Kang's, commonly referred to as the Kra, expansionist and hegemonic policy to dominate the Kayatman and east Ochran regions through political and economic means. The Kra government viewed the subjugation and annexation of Daobac as a stepping stone to achieve Kra hegemony over the region, while at the same time control a strategic port of entry for international trade. The independence of Daobac in 1845 presented a new entry point for goods to enter and exist the Ozerosi and Kayatman seas. As a result many nations, Tsurushima and Anachak Kang among them, sought to establish friendly relations with Daobac in order to cement access to trade with the new nation. Initially, the Kra had the upper hand in the war, to the point of being able to invade and occupy parts of Bautroi island in Daobac. However their decision to simultaneously attack, what they perceived to be a weakened nation in the wake of a revolution, Tsurushima proved to be a major factor in their defeat. The involvement of Tsurushima as an ally of Daobac has been largely credited with single handedly turning the tide of the war. On July 1897 all Kra armies that occupied Bautroi island had been routed, and by January 1898 Daobac and Tsurushima launched a concentrated amphibious landing at Anachak Kang and eventually forced the Kra to surrender by occupying the Kra's capital city: Viangchan.

Background

Daobac's independence in 1845 resulted in a sudden geopolitical shift in the area as the island nation opened a new entry point into the Ozeros ocean through the Kayatman sea as it had been previously been controlled exclusively by Kajera. Many nations sought to establish friendly relations with Daobac in the hopes of allowing their goods to enter the diverse and rich Ozerosi market. Both Tsurushima and Anachak were quick to establish trade relations with Daobac and invested heavily in Daobac’s public infrastructure projects in the hopes to gain a favorable standing with the Daoan government. Tsurushima in particular helped develop not only Daobac’s infrastructure but also its armed forces. During this time, Daobac’s foreign policy was divided into three major factions within the Daoan Congress between those who wished closer relations with either: Tsurushima, Anachak Kang or the Ozerosi countries. While Tsurushima, Ozerosi nations and Anachak engaged in covert lobbying to achieve favorable trade deals, those from Anachak wished to install pro-Anachak politicians in the Daoan Congress to engage in subversion. Their ultimate goal was to initiate a general referendum within Daobac to become a province/colony of Anachak. Various pro-Anachak political parties were funded by Anachak throughout 1850 - 1897 and were able to gain a foothold in the Daoan Congress. However on 3 July 1897, a meeting between Anachak agents and pro-Anachak Daoan congressmen and businessmen was interrupted by Daoan Law Enforcement agents. Documents and other evidence recovered from the meeting revealed that the Daoan congressmen and businessmen were offered various financial rewards to propose pro-Anachak legislation in Congress. Both the Daoan congressmen and Anachak agents were charged with espionage and imprisoned, an action which the Kra government strongly condemned and demanded the immediate release of their agents, claiming that they were not civilians, but ambassadors who have the rights of diplomatic immunity. Daobac rejected these claims and did not release the Anachak agents.
