First Trans-Mediriman War

The First Trans-Mediriman War was the first in a series of wars mainly fought between Nova-País, Tayichi and Terra Argo for control of the vital trade routes crossing the Mediriman Sea in the 18th and early 19th century. While the war initially began due to localised trade disputes within Nova-País and Tayichi, it quickly spiralled into a full-blown conflict which continued on until 1738 at the Treaty of [TREATY], signed between Tayichi and Terra Argo and then agreed upon by Nova-País later in the year. Although Nova-País was militarily successful in the conflict, they were unable to complete their ultimate aims of retaking Costeiras and they finished the war in a weaker position than they started it, laying the groundwork for bitterness and emnity which would culminate in the Second Trans-Meridiman War.
