Part Two:
The Wars That Almost Never Ended!
March 9, 1463 to July 14, 1495
( :rofl: Sung to that one "Lambchop" song :rofl: )
It is the war that never ends,
Yes it goes on and on my friends!
Corsica just need some growing room!
And before you know it Europe is on its way to doom!
Now the boreders are all different.
And Corsica is a power on the continent!
Yes it is the war that never ends,
Yes it goes on and on my friends....
March 9, 1463 brought dispair and hope to Corsica. The economy was suffering, forcing many to seek jobs, one job that needed filling was the Corsican Navy, still only one ship. Now it sailed a full 6 ships! Making it a small naval power.
With this new power, King Placentia (whom I believe is immortal (or a congress)) concented with his closest advisors, and declared war on the undefended nation of Siena. All of Corsica's allies abondon it in such a simple war. The day was April 21, 1463. On September 24, the 10,000 men of the Corsican Army were not enough, another 4,000 were ordered. On January 22, 1464 Corsican troops are great enough to siege the city.
The siege lasted 10 months and on November 24 1464 the Country was annexed. On February 1465 a royal marriage was set up between Corsica and Austria, England invaded and was repeled (100 years war became 150 years war.... sigh....), forcing Corsica to join ranks with France and Scottland against England and Eire. March 5 1465 brought about an exception year which put some dampers on the increasing inflation (88%!) and put 100D in the hands of Corsica.
On May 30, 1467 Corsica declared war on Tuscany, Genoa and Modena, France and Scottland honored the alliance. On October 1 7,000 new soldiers were created on Siena. May 19, 1467 brought along the fall of the Tuscan capital (will annex later so I can annex Modena and get some of Genoa's Empire, yum!) France takes Genoa, gets peace. Marche siezed on September 9, troops there move north to take Romagne. On January 23, 1468 Emila was captured and Modena was annexed, and on April 7, 1469 Corsican troops siege Genoa.
Corsica meanwhile was constantally attacked, unsuccessfully, by English troops. Even so, King Placentia gave the English 75D to get them off Corsica forever. On October 26, Milan declares war on Corsica, troops on Romagna move out and begin the siege. At this time, most of Italy was undefended thanks to the following:
Corsica
Genoa
Austria
Venice
Ottomans
France
Castile
On November 3, 1469 Genoa was captured, Romagna and Marche along with 250D were Corsica's prize along with Tuscany's annexation! 15 days later the people donated 500D (Gift to state) to further the enlarging of Corsica. 5 day later on November 23, Mantua (with no units (Thanks Hungary) declares war on Corsica. This is followed by Castile on December 11. Januuary 2, 1470 brings war with Venice. On September 23, Milan and Mantua are annexed, Venice is sieged. On October 11, Austria declares war, all the while France and Scottland are honorable enough to maintain the alliance.
On December 9, 1470 Corsican troops move into Roma, the capital of the former Papal States.
June 2, 1471 brought a white peace with Austria, and on June 13 Rome was taken.
On March 20, 1472 Sweden and then later Denmark (March 26). But on May 7, Venice is captured and Corsica is given Roma and Dalmatia. Corsica is delighted more with Roma then with Dalmatia. The Corsican king orders more fortification built on Roma and Corsica. New troops are built on Dalmatia to defend it from Balkan Insability, something well known to all. .
On October24, 1473 Casile accepts white peace. And it was about time, Corsican armies beat Castile and Aragon on the battlefields time and time again, but Placentia was happy to have peace. On April 13, 1475 redress brought instability to an already revolt torn nation (cheating commences.... now). On June 8, 1476 Sweden gives into a white peace. February 27, 1477 brings a 200D gift to state, funding more ships and troops. June 7 brought another war with Austria. Tirol is sieged, and on September 2 peace returns with the status quo.
June 18, 1481 the Ottomans descide Dalmatia is too tasty to leave alone, and war breaks out. The war will be rather un-eventfull, on contrary with my war with Denmark which they land 1,000 men (1 unit) once every two months on Mantua. They are repeled every time and the peace resolution got up to 24% and they would accept to kind of peace. May 4, 1487 ended this with an inactivity white peace. But on November 28, Bohemia changed that bring with it Poland, Lithuania and Hungary against Corsica, France and Scottland.
On April 20, 1488 a white peace is declared with the Huns, followed by Lithuania on February 10, 1490. June 8, 1490 brought a white peace with Poland and Bohemia gave it up on September 30. (The wounders that can be accomplished by marching a mecenary corps through people's territory!)
On December 8, 1491 Austria tries again, but after having lost Tirol (the "Take Tirol" Doctrine) the accepted a white peace with Corsica on March 7, 1492. On January 2, 1495 Corsica paid Turkey 75D to leave them alone. All that remained was another war with Eire that had surfaced between Scottland and the stated. On July 13, 1495 a white peace was signed between Eire and Corsica. July 14 is now celebrated as "Victory Day;" as July 14, 1495 brought the first dawn of peace on Corsica since the Hundred Year War flared up in 1461, it had been 34 years!
