Prelude
The situation in the newly established Yetian England was tense, as the former English government remained on the loose and the slow degradation of England's autonomy was increasingly unpopular. The former government's attempts at rallying support for a new uprising were largely failures, with Scotland and Ireland both refusing to assist against the occasional uprisings. Seeing the lack of support as an opportunity, Yetia began actively integrating England back into Yetia via various reforms.
Northumbria Uprising
After first seizing the Isle of Mann, a largescale English revolt broke out throughout northern England, quickly seeping through the area due to Yetian England's inaction due to its own sympathies. Due to this inaction Yetia was quick to act, launching an invasion of its own into Yetian England to put down the disloyal regional government and the rebellion. Yetian England remained defiant against Yetia after being demanded to surrender, leading to Yetia officially dissolving its government. With its enemies unprepared, Yetia marched northwards rapidly until it reached the scottish border, leaving only Cumbria and Berwick-upon-Tweed standing.
Ireland Campaign
Ireland began giving refuge to escaping rebel forces, leading to Yetia threatening war if Ireland didn't hand them over as POWs, which Ireland refused. Yetian marines promptly invaded Ireland, rapidly spreading across the country with little to no resistance. After quickly occupying most of the country and besieging Dublin, Ireland was quick to surrender, agreeing to hand over the English POWs in return for retaining independence.
