The Anglo-Lysian War (1715-1718) is a conflict opposing the Anglian Empire and the Kingdom of Lysia on the continents of Europa and Aurelia.

This conflict, from which the Anglian Empire emerged victorious, had important consequences on the balance of Europan powers. In Aurelia, it almost entirely wipes out the Lysian colonies. In Europa, the Anglian Empire now asserts itself as the new power on the continent.

The beginning of the war is traditionally dated July 14, 1715, the day of the attack on Tarentum by Edward IV, but clashes had already taken place in Aurelia.

Context

The government of Louis VIII has long been concerned about the designs of Great Anglia on the colonial domain of Lysia: Lysian Louvier in Aurelia and Lysian Columbia in Argis.

The subjects of disagreement between Lysia and the Anglian Empire are numerous in Aurelia :

• Competition in the fur trade to the detriment of honoring treaties with the various native tribes

• The fishing area off Bezanciennes, full of fish, where fishing rights are disputed by everyone
