Prelude
As a consequence of The Plague, Sizzlean Abard had collapsed in 67, leading to the few survivors in the nation's rural areas to establish a new Republic of Abard opposed to Sizzle, blaming them for the deaths of its people. The monarchy in Poavak was left without a heir, allowing the Republic of Poavak to emerge. In Kalevala, an anti-monarchist rebel group known as the Lapua Movement was formed.
The first of these regime changes to reach out to one another was Abard, whom offered an alliance to the newly established Linelandic Empire, which they accepted. Now emboldened, Abard launched a raid into the Sizzlean city of Xining, though Sizzle was unable to track down where the attack had originated from. This act made Yetia fearful of such an incident occurring against them leading to them strengthening their recently established alliance with Sizzle by sending some of their own soldiers to assist in fortifying the Sizzlean-held Paliurio. Sizzle eventually managed to capture some Abardean raiders, although they still failed to ascertain where Abard was currently based, especially as Lineland threatened military action if Abard was to be threatened.
Linelandic Invasion of Europe
Hoping to prevent Yetia from preparing for war against them, Lineland declared war on Yetia and soon afterwards also Kalevala, marching its forces towards Europe and out of Waclaw. Sizzle was quick to support Yetia, though this of course led to yet another Abardean raid into Beijing that led to the capture and execution of the Sizzlean King. The Lapua Movement soon revolted in Kalevala on the side of Lineland, leading to Lineland devising that the optimal strategy would be to secure Kalevala before an advance into Yetia as Waclaw was already rapidly falling to Yetian forces, especially once Waclaw City had fallen. As Kalevala quickly fell into disarray as it failed to fight off both Lineland and the Lapua Movement, Yetia began to prepare for a seemingly inevitable invasion of its homeland. Seeing Yetia's defences in Germany as difficult to break through, Lineland signed a pact with Sarpistan to launch a joint invasion from the south, occupying the Suez to keep it secure from Yetian forces, which were forced to split into two as some remained in Germany and others quickly moved south.
After establishing the puppet/states of Linelandic South Kalevala and Linelandic Baltic, Lineland finally made its move on Germany by launching its naval invasion once Yetia had finally arrived at the southern front. As Germany had already had its defences weakened, Lineland smashed through with little difficulties, forcing Yetia to flee westward to Yetevia Province to set up a proper defensive line, though Yetia did at least manage to hold off the Linelandic navy via its fortifications in the Balaeric Islands and England. With Linelandic forces moving west, Kalevala began preparing for a counteroffensive of its own. While Yetia did rapidly lose ground, the other fronts such as Turkey and Kalevala quickly began to turn in Yetia's and Kalevala's favour, with enemy forces quickly being routed. As the Lapua Movement began to quickly crumble under the pressure of the Kalevian advance due to the lack of Linelandic support in the region, Lineland decided that in order to avoid a collapse of its survive lines it must seize control of the ex-Lapuan territories, launching a swift military operation to install a more loyal government known as Imperial Kalevala. Yetia continued to largely hold back the enemy and advance in Turkey despite a brief uprising in England, with Yetia even managing to largely collapse the southern front in its favour, leading to Lineland launching a military operation similar to the one done against Lapua in Sarpistan to align it to its side, though this ended much less cleanly as largescale resistance elements rose up on Yetia's side after a Pro-Lineland monarch was installed.
After a while, Sizzle uncovered evidence of its leaders execution in Abard, leading to it declaring war on Abard, dragging both of them into the war. Yetia and Sizzle quickly moved to gather more allies, with Ireland, Scotland, Argentina, and Islandia joining the war. Sizzle quickly attempted to raid Abard, although this soon failed. Yetia was quick to launch its major counteroffensive alongside Kalevala, quickly devastating Lineland's positions. With it being pushed back on all sides, Lineland quickly began to prepare a retreat from Europe as its forces fell into disarray. After a brief period of time, all Linelandic forces in Europe had either retreated or been captured.
Global Escalation
With Lineland's attempted invasion of Europe unsuccessful, the conflict continued on and even escalated further as various other nations joined in, with Poavak aligning itself with the Abard-Lineland Axis and Spisos aligning itself with the Allied League at the beginning of the year 68, leading to the fighting beginning to occur beyond Europe as well as Lineland went on its next offensive, seizing several Sizzlean territories and moving on Spisos as resources were diverted to other fronts. This other front would end up being the eastern Mediterranean as Linelandic forces swiftly recaptured the Sinai and launched an attack on Choros to cut off Yetian forces in the middle east, pulling both Choros and Sipedro into the war due to the two's alliance. In order to further secure the region, Lineland convinced the Sarpistani Resistance Government to defect to its side with promises of territorial gain, while also threatening an invasion of Sipedro to stop them from sending assistance to Choros, whom was pushed back to the point of being forced to relocate its government to crete as the north of the country was reorganized into a linelandic puppet regime. Poavak quickly proved itself to be a valuable member of the Axis as well, launching a highly effective naval campaign into the pacific, which was used by Lineland to launch an invasion of Sipedro to draw its armies away from europe. Yetia began to notice the increasingly dire situation in the south-east as Sarpistan and Lineland advanced through the region, deciding to pull its forces back to prepare a proper defensive line, allowing Lineland to rapidly advance throughout south-eastern Yetia, though it did still face issues elsewhere as the invasion of Sipedro began to rather quickly grind to a halt, forcing additional resources to be moved there that allowed both Yetia and Sipedro to begin pushing Lineland back, which was attempted to be rectified by a Poavakian invasion of southern Sipedro, which was partially successful.
Abard, Lineland, and Poavak increased their coordination, launching an assault on Ireland, pushing back Yetia's counter offensive, and once more advancing in Sipedro. The allies acted accordingly to prevent these advances by militarizing the alps, stopping a linelandic advance on Beijing, and attempting to defend against advances in more minor fronts such as Ireland. Sizzle completed its mobilization, quickly seizing the initiative by gaining air superiority and launching a counter-offensive against Lineland, which coincided with a Scottish, Yetian and Irish advance in Europe, which together forced Lineland to retreat from Sizzle, prompting Abard to launch a invasion of Sizzle to stop the situation from becoming worse, gaining the help of Poavak to defend its homeland during this operation. Hoping to continue its momentum, Abard launched an attack into Yetia by successfully landing in the country's north-western territories, forcing Yetia to pull forces back there to fight back. Sizzle's continued advance into Lineland began to be increadingly detrimental on Lineland's war effort, with the invasion of Ireland rapidly falling alongside Yetia and Choros breaking through in the balkans, completely destroying all enemy forces in their way. With Poavakian garrisons becoming increasingly important, Islandia launched a new pacific offensive to deal with their advance.
Axis Counteroffensives
The tide of the war was rapidly turning against the Axis, leading to most of them beginning to fail in their war efforts, with especially Sarpistan quickly capitulating with its few remaining armies escaping to its allies. Abard tried to take the initiative, launching another attack into Yetia and funnelling further forces into its advances into Beijing, which Sizzle attempted to stop by launching another attack into Abard proper. This attack was fairly successful, yet it left Sizzle vulnerable to a Abardean attack near Xining, with the Sizzlean forces in the area falling for a trap that led to heavy casualties, which was followed by Poavak successfully holding off a Islandian attack into Taiwan. With the other fronts being the Allies' main focus, Lineland reorganized its army and launched a major counteroffensive against Sizzle's advances into its territory, soon also attacking into Europe once more. Abard and Lineland would now plan their next advances, with Lineland focusing on an advance into Europe and assisting Abard with operations against the smaller members of the Allies, with the main targets being the likes of Scotland and Ireland which they aimed to defeat with the assistance of English rebels. As Sipedro began to put increasing pressure on Lineland's and Poavak's forces in its country, the Axis put their plan into action by quickly sweeping through Kalevala, restoring Imperial Kalevala, and landing across the British Isles as Ireland and Scotland were quickly seized, with the english declaring the Second Kingdom of England as an ally of the Axis.
The air war over Sipedro began to itensify as Lineland prepared to evacuate its invasion due to Sipedro's rapidly growing army and improved weaponry, while simultaneously in Europe Yetia was quick to move to intercept the enemy advances, though not quick enough as large numbers of Linelandic forces landed along its coastlines once the final remaining Allied forces in the British Isles were mopped up. Linelandic forces rapidly swept throughout Yetia, seizing Yetia City and preparing to march even further as Yetia fled to regroup. Despite its losses, Yetia continued to stand against Lineland, using their superior strategists to push the enemy back despite the odds, shattering Lineland's dream of dominance.
Collapse of the Axis
With Lineland in shambles, Abard attempted to rectify the situation by beginning a genocide in its occupied regions of Sizzle, prompting the Allies to only intensify their efforts as Yetia began landing in the British Isles to wipe out all remaining enemy forces. Remaining Abardean, Linelandic, and English forces in europe were swiftly wiped out as Sizzle expanded its efforts in Abard proper, attempting to bomb them out of the siege of New Abard, eventually leading to Abard having to retreat from its own capital. With most ongoing fronts a success, Sizzle and Yetia planned their next moves, with Sizzle and Islandia focusing on the pacific, Sizzle focusing on the Abardean forces in its interior, and Yetia focusing on Imperial Kalevala. The front in Sizzle was back and forth, with Abard largely managing to set up proper defences despite losing the air war against the Allies.Yetia attempted to pull the pressure off of Sizzle by landing troops in Abard, detaining most hostile individuals and largely occupying the country which forced the Abardean army to flee into its allies' territories, allowing Yetia's invasion of occupied Kalevala to begin. Abard was quick to exact its vengeance, launching a series of genocidal raids into the territory of nations such as Yetia, Ireland, Scotland, Sipedro, and Sizzle Russia, killing all the weak and forcibly conscripting all the worthy. The Yetian invasion of Kalevala is largely successful, with most Kalevian insurgents joining the Yetian forces, with a few supporting Lineland due to fears that Yetia's occupation will not end.
Hoping to stop the Axis' recent genocidal campaigns, the Allies together collaborated to plan a final strike against its enemies, first deciding to deal with the weakest Axis member of Poavak, seeing Abard's efforts to reclaim its homeland as not as easy to wipe out. With Abard launching a raid on Newtown, Yetia suggested that once all of the rest of the Axis are defeated all of the Allies should launch a coordinated attack on Abard to destroy it, while Sizzle suggested the use of nukes, which they began to work on repairing. Poavak was the first to fall, surrendering once Allied forces landed on Java, much to the dismay of Abard. The liberation of Kalevala was completed next, coinciding with the defeat of all remaining Abardean attempts to make an incursion into Sizzle. With Sipedro and Spisos focused on Lineland's holdings in North America and Kalevala cleared, the Allies launched their final invasion of Lineland to destroy the threat it posed for good, launching attacks from all sides which Lineland was not capable of responding properly to, leading to its swift collapse despite Abard's attempts to save them. Despite Lineland still holding Tasmania, Abard saw that no hope remained and surrendered to the Allied League.
