The Belief Clash
The Belief Clash, also known as the War of West and East, was a war between forces from the East, representing Hatvism, forces from the far West representing Skethianity, and forces from the West representing Christianity. The war lasted 45 years, going on and off again from 1523. In the end, historians generally recognize that the forces from the West, representing Christianity, were victorious, conquering many lands in the west. The war was fought because of tension between the three religions, and the clashing of their beliefs. While all three religions still exist today, Christianity gained a major following and influence in Venturia. The countries from the West were, at the time, Bymaria, The United Lands of Southia, Drumes, and The Trigadian Empire. The countries fighting for the East and Christianity were, at the time, The Protectorates of Allia, Docneighland, and The Empire of the New Dawn. Finally, the countries fighting for the far West were, at the time, New Sketherlands and Xevenia.
Major Events
Some major events in the war included battles, listed below:
The Battle for the Border: This was the earliest major battle of the war, fought between the East and the West. The battle was an all-out fight, and at the end of 2 weeks, a border was set for the two sides, with casualties the highest in the war. The East delivered a defeat to the West, and pushed their lines back hundreds of miles. After this battle, the East backed off a lot, while the next portion of the war was dedicated to the West fighting Skethish forces. The battle took place in the year 1530.
The Battle of the Southian Sea: This battle was a large naval battle between forces from the far West and West forces. The naval battle was a huge win for the far West forces, one of their only ones of the long war. It started when the Skethish forces started sending secret missionaries to the United Lands of Southia and Drumes, and the two countries sent a naval fleet to go and raid the coastal cities of the two Skethish countries. When the far West countries heard about this, they sent a fleet of their own, and the two met in the middle of what is now the Nyoka Ocean.
