Post-War of Lorican Aggression Crisis
The Post-War of Lorican Aggression Crisis involves a series of smaller conflicts occurring after the War of Lorican Aggression, lasting from 5 May 1975 to 1 March 1997. Although Lorica agreed to end hostilities in the Treaty of Calat, the nation supported various insurgent groups throughout Southeast Asianna, Zeumria, North Europa, and South Amerigonna via armaments, advisory and political support in order to weaken the influence and integrity of Allied nations in hopes of reasserting Lorican dominance through military conquest according to the Mukhomorov Thought.
Continued Lorican presence was first detected in 7 May 1975 upon the renewal of the Communist insurgency in Bethausia two days before when Bethausia's OMSI apprehended two Lorican military advisors in the Hachen State. The Bethausian government urged Lorican counterparts to withdraw their advisory personnel and end armament support for the insurgents. Despite Lorica agreeing and giving numerous assurances of withdrawal, they indirectly continued supporting the communist rebel groups through Communist Lhossa until the latter's eventual supression in 1978. Upon discovery of Lhossa's complicity and the continuous communist insurgency in Kyachindwin that threatened to change its current government, Bethausia invaded Lhossa and intervened in Kyachindwin's conflict in 1979, which instigated the Northeast War, and led to Bethausia's approximately 16-year-long occupation of the two countries. Lorica kept a limited role via armament shipments to insurgent groups. International condemnation against Lorica was issued by the Association of Asianna Nations, but was kept restrained, with Bethausia's assurance that the occupation would prove successful in the long run and the Association unwilling to escalate tensions given the post-war economic situation.
The crisis escalated during the Imperial insurgency in Erebonia when Lorica offered political and limited military support via armaments and advisors to pro-Imperial rebel groups in 1981. The Loricans grew bolder upon supporting the Ruzhite Empire in their 1984 incursion against Trabia and the Communist Party of Guinea in their insurgency against the government under George Edward. Lorican contributions heightened during the Aethiopian Civil War, the Circum-Courlès War and the Aurucolian Splinter War from 1984 to 1992, but failures in the former two conflicts convinced the Lorican government to draw back their support for rebel groups in Aurucolia, Lhossa, Kyachindwin, and Archadia. It proved a significant factor in Aurucolia's stabilization in 1994, the Nationalist victory in the Sanguinoso Colpo, and their reluctance to support the anarcho-syndicalist ARPAGHARCON in the 12 July Insurgency.
After Branislav Mukhomorov's death in January 1994, his successor Hippolyte Girard pursued steps to further return Lorica into the international stage and was accepted into the Federal Union Association upon recommendation of James Robert Boya, the FUA delegate to Lorica. Girard played along with the FUA in dismantling Bethausia's occupation of Kyachindwin and Lhossa in 1995 by threatening to send troops in the latter nation. Lorica once again fell under international scrutiny upon their armaments being shipped to pro-integration rebel groups in Kyachindwin and Lhossa while contributing to FUATAKAL, but was pardoned once Girard sacked particular generals involved in its facilitation.
The crisis helped Lorica to establish its peaceful position in the international stage, and the nation remained relatively amiable. However, Lorica retained its ultranationalist and irredentist attitude towards Quenmin, Joyonghea and Bethausia, and its anti-Commonwealth stance via its support in the continuining Guinean insurgency. The FUA remained complacent about Lorica's membership and growing influence, which was alllowed to fester under Boya's tenure as General Secretary, which proved consequential in the build up to the FUA Crisis.
