In 1205, the first ever reported source of the term "Bentho" or "Bênção", was used by Sílvio Campos Kanashiro, the the founder of San Pera. The first ever reported use of Bênção which translate to blessing in Bentheese, found in Kanashiro's book entitled Bênçãos da Terra, where he refers to Bênção as Bentho.
20th Century
Bentho gained their independence from --country-- in 1905. The Bentheese economy began to grow with its most important sectors being in lumber, farming, and fishing, and the introduction of the Vulkarian Pass placed Bentho right on the precipice of a new vital and heavily used international shipping lane, which contributed greatly to a boom in its economy. A severe drought in 1929 led to the Bentho Depression, which not only affected the agricultural and freshwater fishing industries, but led to the deaths of tens of thousands of people. A religious reconciliation occured as a result of the depression, which was a major contributing factor in Bentho's relative secularism to this day.
World War
Bentho's government attempted to stay neutral at the outbreak of the World War in 1949, during which time the DSC and Ruzmatria had invaded and conquered much of neighboring Vulkaria in order to seize vital port cities and the Vulkarian Pass. Bentho's economy, reliant on international shipping passing through the canal, took a major hit as shipping ceased and neighboring countries joined the League Powers. Bentho's government signed multiple non-hostility treaties with the DSC and Teresta to avoid being drawn into the conflict, but the government was covertly supplying weapons and food to Vulkarian resistance fighters. Bentho successfully remained out of direct conflict for around 8 months, instead becoming a haven for many refugees fleeing fighting in northeastern Ausiana.
Sometime in September 1951, a telegram directed from Bentho to resistance fighters in Vulkaria was intercepted by League Forces in Tilbreg, detailing the covert supply missions. As a result, on October 19th, 1951, Teresta and Gashuera broke their non-aggression treaties with Bentho and invaded through occupied Jericho and Cirrane. Bentho's military, small in comparison to the well-equipped and experienced league forces, was decimated in the invasion, and the country's major population centers were quickly overrun. However, many rebel groups sprung up within Bentho to resist the occupation, with vice-president Francisco Cruz Madruga in particular leading several factions. For two years, brutal urban and rural fighting engulfed Bentho as a sizable portion of the population took up arms against Terestan and Gashueran forces. The Battle of Quipata in early 1953 saw the first instance of Bentho's resistance groups freeing one of their major cities from occupying armies.
By December of 1952, the DSC had been pushed out of the northern half of Vulkaria by Allied forces, and Ruzmatrian forces were in retreat on the southern front. In July 1953, allied forces consisting of Emmirian, Albarinean, and Cadairi troops entered Bentho from the freed areas of Vulkaria and began pushing back Terestan forces. They were joined by the Bentho resistance groups, who were vital in the success of allied forces. Gashuera capitulated on August 6th, 1953, leaving Teresta a weakened and vulnerable military. By August 8th, the capital of San Pera was freed, and on August 19th the last Terestan forces retreated over the border into Jericho. Following the liberation of Bentho, Marcos Amorim Esteves sent two brigades of men to participate in the Eastern Front of the war in Euronia, where they assisted in the liberation of Avergnon.
