History

Background

56,000 years ago early modern humans settled what would become the lands of Bretislavia. These early modern humans (EMH) were a largely Germanic group, with Slavic cultural ideas embedded in their society. These EMHs would later transform into large tribal kingdoms, who ruled the area and surrounding areas well into the 10th century, until the Bretislavian conquest by the Tiskai czar in 970. After the war, the tribal lands were united into a single entity to be ruled by the Tiskai Czar under the Tiskai-Bretislav United Kingdom (970-1048).

Tiskai-Bretislav United Kingdom (970-1048)

In 970 the Czar of Tiskaiya ventured west of his lands to conquer the Bretislavian tribes. In the 8 month conquest, Beginning in January and ending in August, he successfully defeated the 13 tribal kingdoms ruling most of Bretislavia's current lands. The young Czar would go on to create the Tiskai-Bretislav United Kingdom. This partnership would last 78 years and somewhat thrive during his rule. Creating a united economy and social structure, leading to a mass Slavic immigration from the dense lands of Tiskaiya to the relatively sparsely populated lands of Bretislavia. These Slavs would settle in the southeast of the country closest to their native land of Tiskaiya. In order to help bypass the language barrier between the early English language and Slavic language, the czar would allow each county to have certain freedoms with regards to military, education, and other things to avoid confusion. It was only really in the southeast where early English languages were intertwined with Slavic ones. Due to the language barrier and high levels of local bureaucracy, a rivalry would grow in the late years of the Kingdom, becoming a contributing factor to the later war between the two regions.

While the difference in culture was massive at times, Bretislavian tribes and Tiskaiyans shared a love of militarism and bonded cultures over activities such as jousting, dueling, and hunting. The combination of these two cultures resulted in a culmination of western and eastern technology and medicines, boosting the countries growth but also serving to hamper it.

While the Tiskai Czar was benevolent and chivalrous to the Bretislav people, he was still a foreign ruler, and was not the most popular figure, even in newer generations of Bretislavians; who had only known Tiskai leadership since birth. Even with the concessions made to Bretislavians by the Czar, he never could remove the Bretislavian spirit from the region, leading to harsh military reactions by the czar when Bretislavians dissented against his rule and plead for a return of Bretislavian independence.
