The Azobyr-Mivorgan War: a spark of nationalist global conflict?

Azobyr and Mivorga- The unthinkable has happened.

And no one saw it coming. No one even thought it would be possible.

The Republic of Azobyr, under it's new nationalist government, has declared war on the Principality of Mivorga.

Around 10,000 highly-trained troops have broken defense lines on the border, and are invading Mivorga's northwest. The Mivorgan Army, in comparison, has a defense of 20,000 troops, in an inexperienced, underfunded army, in the northwest.

Just 3 hours after invading, Azobyr has taken 3 settlements: Aqoliut, Gaqalat, and Hunoqolit. These are just villages, however.

The main target is now the city of Taqolou, with 50,000 inhabitants. Analysts believe that if Azobyr captures Taqolou, Mivorga can be forced to the negotiating table, to stop the Azobyrian armies from rampaging further.



Why?

The northwestern parts of Mivorga are a majority Azobyrian, and Azobyrian nationalists see the territory as rightfully Azobyrian.

The Azobyrian Patriots, a nationalist movement, campaigned on the promise of getting the area back from Mivorga. Mivorgan intelligence, however, discredited this as campaign rhetoric. And if it ever happened, most thought it would be through diplomatic means.

However, no one imagined it would escalate to war.

And escalate it did. Mivorgan defenses are confused and shocked on what Azobyr has done. Azobyr, taking advantage of this confusion, broke through border defenses, and aggressively began it's offensive.

Nations such as England and Latinia have condemned the sudden state of war, but have taken no further action. Other nations, particularly Mivorga's neighbors Luaar to the east and Vinzania to the south, have supported Azobyr's invasion. Angwein, a regional power and big nation to the south of Mivorga, has declared neutrality.

Why the hate?

Mivorga is disliked by it's neighbors, especially by Azobyr. They all think that Mivorga is an illegitimate nation because it is ruled by an English-descended prince, and it has many English traditions, unlike it's neighbors, which are historically associated with each other ethnically, linguistically and even culturally, unlike Mivorga, which originated as an English colony with other foreign pilgrims, who treated the natives harshly, who are also related to Mivorga's neighbors. Even though their society was born there and even a language (Mivorgan) flourished, there is no denial that both the world and it's neighbors see Mivorga as a foreign nation culturally, stuck between neighbors it can never relate to and constantly hate it's presence.

In short, they want Mivorga gone.

Who has the chances of winning?

Well, it's hard to say. Although Azobyr is larger in territory than Mivorga, it has less population, around only 7,125,000 people in fact, compared to Mivorga, which has 21.5 million. This is mostly since Azobyr has a cold climate, especially the tundraic north, and the fact that it has been historically marginalized by England when it was a colony, leading to it's demographic growth being historically affected. However, Azobyr has an advantage: a highly-trained army.

The Azobyrian Military is composed of 70,000 soldiers, however, it beats Mivorga in both technology and training. It is highly funded by Azobyr, as, historically, Azobyr has been in desperate need of an effective defense, leading to the military being valued by the government.

In contrast, the Mivorgan Royal Forces, composed of 130,000 men and women, are inexperienced and underfunded. This is also cultural like Azobyr, as Mivorga has relied on England for it's defense. However, England has not come to Mivorga's aid (for now), mostly because of England's new pacifist government, leading to Mivorga to be defenseless in a rough region full of enemies. This might also be because of oil reserves in Azobyr, which England is interested in. The only thing in which the MRF is superior is in manpower, having almost double the total amount of units Azobyr has.

However, with an intially confused army, Mivorga already is losing.

We will be posting short updates on the war here.
(Btw this is about my own world, Azrovia. I'm just sharing it with you guys. More nations will come soon, I promise)
