History
Founding
In 1999, economic and political turmoil began to boil over in Beleroskov as states chose to vote in referendums to secede from the communist government. On 17 March, a referendum was held, in which the vast majority of participating citizens voted in favor of changing the country into a renewed federation. In August 2000, a coup d'état attempt by members of the government, directed against the Premier and aimed at preserving the Union of States, instead led to the end of the Communist Party of Beleroskov.
As a result of the quickly unfolding chaos in Beleroskov, the Alabaster Treaty was signed and ratified by Zamastan, Rio Palito, Caspiaa, Ruskayn, and Quetana on March 29th, 2001 in Alabaster, Cayenne, Zamastan, officially establishing the Western Euronia Defense Alliance as a military alliance. WEDA was also created from fears of rising global tensions with the squashing of pro-government movements in Yuan, domestic crisis in Drambenburg, and ongoing insurgencies in Vulkaria.
The first military operation that WEDA conducted as an alliance took place in Vulkaria against rebel fighters in 2001, with Zamastanian, Quetanan, and Rio Palitoan troops assisting federal Vulkarian forces. Ironically, Beleroskov played host to the Neboroskiev Accords that ended the Second War in Vulkaria, to which WEDA representatives established a significant number of stipulations against the Elastani government.
Expansion and global influence
In 2004, WEDA began talks with Kuresa and Skith for membership. Kuresa joined in June 2005, and Skith joined in July. WEDA maintained its official name but also took up the additional referment of the Olympic Defense Alliance. Beginning in 2006, the organization extended its activities into political and humanitarian situations that had not formerly been WEDA concerns, including sending trainers to Jaginistan, assisting in counter-piracy operations near Qolaysia, Ossinia, and Janapa, and enforcing a no-fly zone over Kossmil during the stalemate years of the Kossmilian Wars.
Vitosium became the 8th country to join the alliance on April 18th, 2008.
Emmiria and Albarine joined the alliance in a joint referendum on September 29th, 2011.
On March 19th, 2021, WEDA established resolutions marking the Kingdom of Zalluabed as a totalitarian government in the wake of that nation's military action in Hisrea province, which was likened to a genocide. On March 20th, shortly after the resolutions, the nations of Sulifa and Andaluni were accepted into WEDA. In September 2021, the regime of Kyriakos Tasoulas in Syraranto tested a nuclear weapon and threatened conflict with the Sotoan Basin Union. In response, WEDA and the SBU signed a mutual defense agreement stating that if one organization was attacked, the other would defend it. On January 27th, 2022, the Tasoulas regime enacted a missile attack against Constantio and North Icadania, resulting in the navies of Zamastan, Emmiria, and Quetana sending ships to provide defensive capabilities for the SBU as they began to retaliate. On January 31st, 2022, Lutharia, Shoassau, East Chanchajilla, Mulfulira, Janapa, and Saint Croix and Bens became members.

Partnerships with other countries
Besmenia shares since 2007 a partnership with WEDA through shared military technologies and intelligence sharing, which is evenly distributed with agreements with all member states. Although not a member state of WEDA itself, the government of Besmenia has participated in military exercises with the organization.
CAMDA shares intelligence cooperation with WEDA, with Courbagne, New Elkland serving a forward operating base for the Zamastanian Naval Forces.
The Sotoan Basin Union and WEDA share close ties, with WEDA stating in September of 2021 that they would defend the SBU if Syraranto attacked at the height of the civil war.
