The Etruro-Estmerish Wars, (Etrurian: Guerre Etruro-Estmeringhe), known in Etruria as the Coian Wars (Vespasian: Guerre Coiano) were a series of major conflicts pitting the Kingdom of Estmere against the Kingdom of Etruria, that took place between 1869 and 1880. The wars stemmed from competing colonial interests in Coius and Hydana, and a naval arms race. The wars are often categorised into three conflicts, the First (1869-1871), the Second (1873-1876) and Third (1878-1880).
From 1832 onward, the Kingdom of Etruria dramatically expanded across northern Coius, completing the conquests of Zorasan in 1853, Badawiya in 1856 and established the Dominion of Etrurian Hydana in 1859. However, the lucerative trade gained by a strong presence in the Solarian and Mazdan Seas also drew in other colonial powers. In 1849, Estmere gained the treaty port of Bandar Ehsan from the decaying Gorsanid dynasty, this was followed by Bandar Hussein in 1850 and Chalandar in 1852, while Estmere consolidated its own colonial posessions in Hydana. The presence of Estmerish concession ports on the Mazdan and Solarian Seas became a prominent issue within the Etrurian government. The militarisation of Estmerish ports sparked a major diplomatic crisis as Etruria ceased to recognise Estmere's treaty ports and considered them "illegal possessions of Etrurian colonial territory." Repeated negotiations failed to alleviate concerns and tensions.
