The Boldonian-Brasilistani War, codenamed Operation Left Check, was a war that took place in mid 2022 between the newly independent Boldonia and the People's Republic of Brasilistan. It was the first official military engagement of the Independent Republic of Boldonia Military Forces, and is often used as a case study for how technological disparity effects warfare due to how behind the Brasilistani Military was technologically compared to the Boldonian force.

Background

Brasilistan was formerly a communist puppet nation of the Soviet Union, however once the Soviet Union dissolved Brasilistan started to take a more authoritarian shift. In mid April the Boldonian Intelligence Agency discovered that in desperation Brasilistan had turned to the abduction of foreign citizens for use in forced labor, which included citizens from nations such as China, Australia, and Boldonia itself. Boldonia organized whatever nations it could to launch a joint invasion with the goal of repatriation lost citizens aswell as shuting down the communist government.

Boldonian Rational For the Invasion

After the invasion the Boldonian delegate to the United Nations defended the invasion. One primary factor was the abducted citizens, which had been returned to their country even if Boldonia's relations with said country was less than ideal. Aswell it was stated that the communist regime, known for spouting revolutionary rhetoric, would eventually pose a threat to democratic governments if left unchecked.

Military Operations

Operation Falling Fire

Operation Falling Fire consisted of initial bombardment of the Brasilistani Rainforest to deny the enemy's ability to utilize the foliage in guerilla warfare and future insurgency operations. Fire bombs were utilized frequently leading to the decimation of the Rainforest and its eventual renaming to the Ash Forest.

Battle of New Stalingrad

The Battle of New Stalingrad was a naval invasion of the north half of the country. During the battle Boldonian forces supported by joint Australian-Boldonian air support were able to capture the city hall. The next few hours after consisted of door to door house clearing aswell as occasional skirmishes around landmarks.
