Yetian Invasion of Sarpistan
After successfully defending Yetia against the English, King Louis III decided to abdicate from the throne of Yetia due to his declining health[1], leading to Queen Catherine II being crowned as the next ruler. Catherine lead a much more militaristic reign, introducing conscription and preparing the Yetian military for war with ambitions of retaking lost territories, first declaring war on Sarpistan. This initial military operation was incredibly successful, sweeping into Sarpistan with relatively little effort as Sarpistan's pleas for international support from Sizzle went unanswered. Seeing Sizzle's inaction, Yetia offered to strengthen its alliance with Sizzle and collaborate on territorial expansion, which Sizzle refused due to opposition to Yetia's imperialism.
Yetian Invasion of Kalevala
With Sarpistan successfully absorbed, Yetia moved onto Kalevala as its forces launched a naval invasion from Stralsund to Vabalinn, quickly seizing Kalevala's baltic territories. Kalevala also largely failed to put up a fight, with Yetian forces breaking through and capturing Helsinki as the Kalevian army retreated northwards in an attempt to flee their invaders. Once most major cities fell, the remaining Kalevian forces set up a defence in the lightly populated rural and forested regions of the country, forcing Yetia's invasion to halt due to lack of supplies. Seeing securing northern Kalevala as too difficult to be worth it, Yetia signed a ceace fire with Kalevala that led to the southern half of Kalevala being absorbed into Yetia.
Anti-Yetian Coalition
With Kalevala dealt with, Yetia turned its attention on Ireland and Scotland and launched an invasion into each of them. Yetia's excessive expansionism however caught the attention of Sizzle, whom signed a pact with the remnants of Kalevala to take down Yetia, promptly declaring war. This intervention focused on Yetia's south-easternost territories due to Yetia's forces mainly being concentrated in Ireland and Scotland, allowing Sarpistani remnants to begin to seize the opportunity to begin to liberate their homeland as the Sinai and Cyprus quickly fell to Sizzlean and Kalevian forces. With Yetia now forced to redirect its forces south-wards, its forces in Kalevala proper and the british isles began to falter to enemy forces, even allowing Yetia to lose naval dominance across much of its coastline. Kalevala began to quickly advance towards Helsinki due to the distracted enemy, with Yetia largely failing to stop them as Ireland also broke through, allowing both fronts to fall into disarray to the point of forcing Yetia to retreat. With enemy forces beginning to land on its mainland, Yetia capitulated as the southern half of the country rose up in revolt against the imperialistic government in Yetia City.
Yetian Civil War
After Yetia's capitulation an uneasy ceasefire was signed between the monarchy in the North and the republicans in the South, though due to the cutting off of services between the two upset both populations as the Yetian United Army rose up in regions of both with covert support from the monarchy, which was ousted from power in North Yetia as an authoritarian government seized power, aiming to expand its power by invading the south, which at first was largely successful as southern forces were put on the retreat. Fearing its defeat, South Yetia manages to acquire assistance from Sizzle to fight off its invaders. Using its now larger numbers and the spread of an unidentified disease to its advantage, South Yetia quickly managed to mop out its opponents with relative ease.
