The Etruro-Estmerish Wars, (Etrurian: Guerre Etruro-Estmeringhe), known in Etruria as the Coian Wars (Vespasian: Guerre Coiano) were a series of major conflicts pitting the Kingdom of Estmere against the Kingdom of Etruria, that took place between 1869 and 1880. The wars stemmed from competing colonial interests in Coius and Hydana, and a naval arms race. The wars are often categorised into three conflicts, the First (1869-1871), the Second (1873-1875) and Third (1878-1880).
From 1832 onward, the Kingdom of Etruria dramatically expanded across northern Coius, completing the conquests of Zorasan in 1853, Badawiya in 1856 and established the Dominion of Etrurian Hydana in 1859. However, the lucerative trade gained by a strong presence in the Solarian and Mazdan Seas also drew in other colonial powers. In 1849, Estmere gained the treaty port of Bandar Ehsan from the decaying Gorsanid dynasty, this was followed by Bandar Hussein in 1850 and Chalandar in 1852, while Estmere consolidated its own colonial posessions in Hydana. The presence of Estmerish concession ports on the Mazdan and Solarian Seas became a prominent issue within the Etrurian government. The militarisation of Estmerish ports sparked a major diplomatic crisis as Etruria ceased to recognise Estmere's treaty ports and considered them "illegal possessions of Etrurian colonial territory." Repeated negotiations failed to alleviate concerns and tensions.
In late May and early June 1869, a series naval skirmishes took place between the Regia Marina Etruriana and the Royal Navy of Estmere, leaving two Estmerish merchant vessels and a frigate sunk. While the skirmishes were directed by the Etrurian government to entice Estmerish acquiescence in negotiations, the latter deployed a steam-powered frigate to Chalandar, where it was intercepted and sunk on June 10 1869, killing all 183 onboard. On June 15, Estmere declared war on Etruria, sparking the First Etruro-Estmerish War. Between 1869 and 1871, the Etrurians launched repeated raids and attacks on Estmerish possessions in Coius and inflicted a devastating defeat on the Royal Navy at the Battle of Caprera in November 1870. In 1871, the Etrurians captured Chalandar and Bandar Hussein, resulting in peace under the Treaty of Poveglia, which saw both territories ceded to Etruria, while Estmere was prohibited from militarising Bandar Ehsan.
Between 1871 and 1873 however, both countries regularly skirmished across the Solarian Basin, while land-based skirmishes took place in Hydana. Eager to restore national prestige, Estmere on September 10 1873, declared war once more, launching a surprise naval attack on the southern Etrurian port of San Giorgio, sinking or damaging six ships, this was followed by an invasion of Etrurian Hydana from Mathrabumi. The Royal Navy would score several redeeming victories, though Etruria scored major victories in Hydana, threatening Estmerish Mathrabumi. Though stalemate would lead to peace in 1873, where the status quo was upheld.
Between 1875 and 1878, both sides rapidly expanded their fleets, while the Etrurians steadily deployed further forces to its Hydanian possessions in aim of seizing Estmerish Hydana and Bandar Ehsan in a third and final confrontation. Estmere for its part, sought to inflict a decisive blow on Etrurian naval forces to deter any further attacks in the future, while it also plotted to expand into Zorasan. Pre-warned by Floren spies, Estmere pre-emptively deployed a large fleet to it northern Bahia, which in turn struck a major victory over the Regia Marina days after Etruria declared war in 1878. Etrurian forces in Hydana failed to repeat their successes scored in 1874-75 and despite several naval victories was unable to halt Estmerish reinforcement to Mathrabumi. Fearing loss of colonial possessions, Etrurian sued for peace in 1880.
The Treaty of Westbrucken brought stability and peace to Etrurian-Estmerish Hydana, ending one of the bloodiest conflicts between two colonial powers, with the restoration of Estmerish concession ports in Zorasan, while granting Etruria dominion over Kazaristan. The wars had profound consequences on global history, including the spread of nationalism and liberalism, the advancement of naval technology and warfare. The Treaty also brought together Etruria, Estmere and Werania, who used the treaty as momentum toward the Trilateral Peace, which in turn evolved into the Trilateral Alliance in 1899, in face of the rising dominance of Gaullica, a key cause of the Great War (Kylaris).
