History
Prehistoric
First humans appeared on the Rapachean land around 5,500 years ago, due to Rapachia being located on an isolated isle. The predecessors of the Rapachean were the tribe of Raores, who conquered most of the isle and eradicated other tribes. Around 4,000 years ago the Raores people invented writing, ending the prehistoric era of Rapachia
Raores Civilisation
As the Raores were the only tribe on the isle, they had no foes and a small military capacity. However, they were famous on the isles nearby for their technological advancements. Around 3,300 years ago they were ready to colonise nearby isles. About that time they gained military knowledge from a tribe called Theonis located on the island north to Rapachia. Around 3,000 years ago Rapachia got its current name
Raores Empire
Around 764 BC the Raores civilisation got their first king. The Raores monarchy wanted to expand. In 654 BC they reached the continent, where they have gained strong allies and trade partners. However, a kingdom of Unnana tried to attack Raores, but failed and was destroyed. Soon after that, the Raores and its allies decided to unite. They proclaimed themselves an Empire!
War of the Isles
With Raores' conquests on continent they forgot about the isles. One of the weakest civilisations of the isles silently attacked Raores and claimed their capital in 332 BC, effectively destroying the Raores Civilisation and beginning the Era of the Division
Era of the Division
When Taraos captured the capital of Raores, the empire broke up soon after. Dozens of new microstates were born. One of them in particular, Rapanapa, will once become the mighty state of Rapachia!
Rapanapa Principality
In 86 AD, the people of Rapanapa chose their first king. The Kingdom of Rapanapa soon starts to expand on nearby states. In the first two centuries Rapanapa fought a lot of wars:
- Rapanapa-Raenas war (90-95 AD)
- Rapanapa-Aegglas war (101-110 AD)
- Isle Battle Royale (130-143 AD)
- War for the Coast of Rapachia Isle (147-150 AD)
- Second Isle Royale (160-170 AD)
- Rapanapa's All-Side Expansion (200-225)
- Unification War of the North (250-300)
After these wars Rapanapa expanded heavily on the north, getting the access to the sea and increasing its influence.
Rapachian Unification
Over the next 800 years Rapanapa tried to unify the isle. In 748, the island was 50% conquered. At 1184, the last microstate, Allenna, was destroyed, ending the Era of the Division.
Kingdom of Rapachia
Soon after conquering the isle, Rapanapa renamed themselves to the name of the isle itself, Rapachia. Rapachia developed strong trade relations with the continent, and at XIII century it was a large trade hub, especially its capital, Raparapa. Soon several countries on the continent joined Rapachia to become stronger together. In 1496 Rapachia first encountered colonisators. In 1504 the colonisators began a war against Rapachia, and in 1532 Rapachia was fully colonised.
Colony of Rapatown
Soon after colonising Rapachia the colonisators renamed the Raparapa to Rapatown, keeping balance between assimilation and native culture. In 1578, the concentration law came out, forcing all the native population of Rapachia to live in concentration camps. In 1632, the first revolt happening, forcing colonisators to leave the continental territory of Rapachia. However the rest of Rapachia had to wait 170 years to finally be liberated.
First Liberation War
In 1702 thousands of rapacheans were killed dur to repressions caused by the colonisators. Some of the survivors founded the People's Army to fight for their freedom. In 1712 they began to raid the colonisators' settlements. Soon the Liberation War started. The People's Army managed to capture a bug chunk of Rapachean land, but they were crushed in 1716 by colonisators' forces, causing even bigger repressions.
Second Liberation War
In 1786 hundreds of upset people formed the Second People's Army. It was growing endlessly, but they couldn't strike right now as colonisators' army was well-prepared for any occasions. However, in 1794 the war between two colonial empires began, and the People's Army decided it was the time to strike. On December, 1794, revolts started all over the colony, quickly taking rapachean lands. In December 14th, 1799 People's Army liberated Rapatown after a two months long siege and renamed it back to Raparapa. On 2nd of January, 1800, colonisators had to sign a peace treaty with PA, fully leaving Rapachia on its own as a result.
