Eckhadam War

The Eckhadam War was a proxy war of the First Cold War. It lasted from December 20th, 1958, to March 11th, 1976. North Eckhadam, backed by Ebeline, ultimately defeated South Eckhadam and their Airedalandian allies, primarily through asymmetrical warfare.

Airedalandia began providing military aid in 1951 during the developing stand-off between the North and South. Through the 1950s there were numerous skirmishes and infiltrations by Northern Guerillas. The situation was tense, and the final blow was dealt on December 19th, 1958, with the bombing of the South Eckhadamese parliament. The following day, Southern President Herman Lopez declared war on the North. After huge initial success by the North, Airedalandian troops were sent into direct combat. Despite capturing Amber in 1969, the war of attrition worked against Airedalandia, and following the loss of 48,000 troops, and most notably the aircraft carrier RSSOHF Nicktown, Airedalandia pulled out, and the South, no longer backed by a superpower, was wiped out on March 11th 1976, all territory having being captured by the North.
