BELKAN WAR TIMELINE
The Truth Of The War 15 Years Ago
-Tragedy Of The Belkan-Federation-

Dec. 17th, 1987
The era of federalism with the Principality of Belka being the leader. As the military budget began to increase, political authority was delegated to the eastern countries. As a result, the troops stationed in those areas returned to Belka.

Feb. 8th, 1988 (The Belkan Federal Law Review took place)
One of the eastern countries gained the first independent statehood from Belka.

May. 12th, 1988 (The Republic of Ustio was born)
Another one of the eastern countries became independent of Belka. The tendency for independence grew.

Background information:
There was allegedly Osean corporate support behind the independence movements of these countries, which were potentially rich in underground natural resources.

Aug. 29th, 1991
The Belkan Federation sold its remaining lands to the eastern neighboring countries. Simultaneously, the economy began to take a downturn and the number of the unemployed increased. Belka decided to cede its northern and southern part of the Great Lakes to Osea for the purpose of revitalizing the economy.

Background information:
Regarding the cession of the territory, Osea proposed a collaborative plan of organizing a land developer for the natural resources untapped under the Great Lakes area within Osean territory. The Osean government also proposed a dividend rate favorable to the Belkan Federation. Belka, being in the economic panic, welcomed the plan. Belka agreed on the cession of its territory to Osea because of this development project, but the investigation data on the natural resources under the Great Lakes were exaggerated by the Osean government.

Dec. 16th, 1991
The lines were drawn between Belka and the two eastern independent countries according to each race.

From Nov. 12th, 1991 through Mar. 24th, 1995
An extreme right-wing party took power within Belka. It took the lead with a slogan "Return of great, mighty and orthodox Belka", which brought about a de facto disappearance of the separation of legal, administrative, and judicial powers. Amidst the ongoing expansion of armaments, the development of a 'mass retaliation weapon"V2"' was launched in secret. Simultaneously, the Belkan Supreme Court judged the statehood of its former territory and invalidated it by stating as follows. "The federal law review was unconstitutional. The eastern states owed their statehood to the foreign countries' invasive interventionsim." Mobilization orders were issued throughout the entire country of Belka and the troops were stationed at the border.

Background information:
In those days, there was a discovery of plentiful natural resources underneath the icy and untrodden alpine belts, which were once part of the Belkan land. The reason the Belkan Supreme Court canceled their statehood was to make up a justifiable cause to reclaim this domain.

Mar. 25th, 1995
Open war. The Belkan Federation force made it across the border of the former independent countries.

Mar. 30th, 1995
The southern independent states allied forces lost entire air superiority to the Belkan air force and retreated. The Belkan Federation force occupied wide areas and continued advance.

Apr. 4th, 1995
Osea launched a counterattack. As the war area became wider, the Belkan air force, small numbers]exceptional talent, became less capable of providing cover for their ground troops. As a result, their onslaught halted, which gave Osea an opprtunity of regroup. The surrounding wait-and-see countries hereby took part in the war one after one for the purpose of claiming intersts of natural resources from the former Belkan territory. One month after the breakout of the war, Belka's frontlines began to be penetrated here and there.

May 13th, 1995
Emancipation of the former independent countries. The balance of power was back to what it was before the war.

From May 14th, 1995 through Jun. 6th, 1995
Southern Belkan cities declared diarmament and surrendered to Osea and the allied forces to avoid bloodshed. However, the northern region of Belka continued a steadfast resistance and gained time in the city of Sudentor for their entire army to complete retreat operations. Hence, Sudentor became the stage of the final battle and the Stier Castle the final stronghold of the Belkan force.

Background information:
The incomplete and unpainted weaponry sitting idle in the storage of the 'South Belka Munitions Factory run by the Belkan government (currently North Osea Grunder Industries)' was deployed and the 'Gray Men' performed significant roles in this anti-siege battle. Pops was ordered to carry out a nuclear attack operation against the cities where the allied main force was stationed. Having refused the order, he went AWOL and deserted the Belkan air force.

Jun. 5th, 1995
The do-or-die battle in Waldreich. The allied force spared three divisions to capture the city of Sudentor and changed their heading to assault the Belkan troops struggling in the narrow path in the mountains.

Jun. 6th, 1995
The Belkans set off seven nuclear weapons in Waldreich mountains and confused the allied force who never expected them to do so on their own soil. Behind their back, the Belkan force penetrated the besiegers surrouding Sudentor and launched one final charge.

Background information:
The aftermath of the nuclear explosion destroyed all electric communication links and made it completely impossible to analyze the situation, which led to a dreadful war of attrition.

Jun. 20th, 1995
After a fierce fighting, the allied force emerged victorious due to its superior potential. The Belkan force south of Waldreich was fully unarmed and the war was over. The Belkan Federation was dismembered and only a part of the Principality remained.

Background information:
After the end of the war, some of the Belkan military officers went underground to escape from a war crimes court. Having faced the humiliation of defeat, they lead Osea and Yuktobania to a war in 15 years. Also, they wished that they had completed the development of V2 so much that a so-called V2 myth was born. Those technical officers who went underground relaunched its development after the war.
