History:
The nation today known as Bergenstein had quite a rough and complicated history. It started as a small group of tribes centered around the Wiez river. After the fall of the Calibrian Empire, these tribes began to expand outwards and develop into prosperous feudal kingdoms. Several wars, marriages, and unions took place between the Bergenstein kingdoms, leading to a more powerful united culture in the region.
After the Renaissance, the feudalism in these kingdoms began to decline and trade began to incline. As the years went on, the Bergenstein kingdoms emerged as modernized powerful states. In 1855, the Treaty of Gartenburg unified the remaining Bergenstein kingdoms that had not joined the Brullen Federation. Bergenstein was now a united group of states prospering along with their neighbors.
By 1933, Brullen was an increasingly aggressive fascist empire. The peace on Adonia ended with the Invasion of Bergenstein on October 1, 1933. After 67 days of resistance, Bergenstein surrendered to its aggressors, and was subsequently annexed into the Brullen Empire along with Grand Aescail. Its soldiers were forced to fight for Brullen in the GAW, after it began in 1947. Many didn't however going on to join resistance forces for the remainder of the war.
The Liberation of Bergenstein commenced on 1st of April, 1952. Acadian and Posilliponian troops simultaneously invaded the country from both sides, driving out the Brullen soldiers and beginning to occupy the nation. At the end of the GAW, some parts of western Brullen were ceded to Bergenstein, and Bergenstein was free to, once again, govern itself.
Today, Bergenstein...
History with Grand
In 1583 traders began trading intensively with Grand. The ties between Bergenstein and Grand got a lot stronger and as a result the royal families started to intermix with each other. [insert some more stuff]. When the First Khwint War (1772-1784) trouble started a major discussion started up about the right cause of action, this subsequently started the civil war in Bergenstein, The war of the twelve. These are how things played out in alliance terms, Duchy of Mantaines went with Berge, Woial went with Trierenstien, Tarlok went with Verana, Kamtal with Shwieset, Salemo with Coutony, Kumer Krak and Kilitie with Danskmarkensweg Litheniant, Zeint with Werdrecht, Erol with Brendenland, Orwak with Cellmradon, Temart with Miensburg, Monseil and New Wenneseux with Lorona. Very simple. After that messy affair and in Bergenstein no real boarder changes life went on. In the second Khwint War Bergenstein allied with the United Kingdom of Grand, but unfortunately the war was lost mainly due to a lack of uniformity between the state’s military which is still present today. Bergenstein had to pay a large sum of money as compensation for the war to the victors.Third Khwint war went a little more successfully and this time with Grand won, good job a lot of money was spent on intelligence before the event. Bergenstein was officially omitted into the triple alliance in 1974 which only strengthened friendships.
