Second War of the West

The Second War of the West is an ongoing intercontinental war between the Osean Federation and the Kingdom of Samarkand. The war is a part of the Samarkand Wars, a series of conflicts between the Osean Federation and the Kingdom of Samarkand. While the war is traditionally thought of as being between the Kingdom of Samarkand and the Osean Federation the Osean Federation has not formally declared war or taken any official action. The war was initiated by The Directian Empire and the alliance if formed which eventually grew to include every Federation member state at the time as well as Yuktobania.

in the late 80s and early 90s tension began to rise between the Directian Empire and the Kingdom of Samarkand, most notably over trade disputes. Directian authorities claimed that the provisions of the Treaty of New Midgar, which ended the First War of the West, included free trade agreeements as an implicit mandate. The trade dispute looked likely the erupt into open war, especailly as Directian troops violated Samar territory with impunity, but an agreement was eventually able to be reached, averting war. Unknown to Samarkand during this period Directus had discovered Samarkand had secretly supported a future Ritger invasion of Osea and the member states of the Osean Federation began transporting invasionary forces to Samarkand.

In 2095, some time after the supposedly successful resolution to the Directian-Samar trade crisis, the Directian Emprie declared war on the Kingdom of Samarkand, citing the trade dispute and Samarkand's support of House Ritger as its casus belli, with the other nations of Osea soon following suit. The Directian lead alliance simultaneously launched the largest invasion of known history, with over 120,000 Osean troops taking part, handly besting the Directian Invasion of ISAF's 6,000 soldiers.
