Nemesis - Japan War (Second Axis War)[]
Background[]
The conclusion of the First Axis War between the Nemesis Coalition (Nemesis, Blood, and Fifth Fleet) against the Axis (Drastia/Monkey, Templars, and Japan) was an impactful one for the server. Japan, having born the brunt of the fighting, submitted themselves to a treaty that guaranteed peace from April 21 to May 4. During this peace, a tense peace existed throughout the server.
Towards the end of April, conflicting war aims arose throughout Nemesis, with a Pro-War team feeling resentful of Japan's existence and desiring their utter annihilation, and a Pro-Peace team that wanted to coexist with Japan in hopes of eventually achieving neutrality. The brittle tension was elevated as both sides scouted each other for new territories. Both sides believed the other was preparing for a massive offensive as the timer ticked down.
On May 1, the treaty between FF and Japan (created separately) ended. Three days later, the treaty expired with the rest of Nemesis. The war, stoked by invisible tensions and baseless accusations of military mobilizations, was inevitable.
Phase One: Faux War[]
Battle of the Snow, May 5[]
Around midday, Nemesis began covert bombing of the Japanese town of Snowstorm to hit a suspected cache. Jollier was in the area and heard some of the TNT accidentally blow up inside the operation. This spurned his nation into action, but incidentally also heightened the tensions for a full battle.
