War Name Description II

After the successful Austrian invasion of their homeland, the French had to sell colonies to other countries for money to fight the enemy. The colony of Vietnam had already been abandoned and the Spanish saw their chance. The conquest was highly successful and this reopened Spanish belief that they were still the colonial masters of the world, even if no one else thought so. The conquest would put the British on red alert and tensions would increase between the two powers until... The Spanish War of the South China Sea
 

King James IX

The Spanish War of the South China Sea

After many failed foolish attempts at colonizing Asia in the early 1700s, the Spanish finally decided to go "all for nothing". They attempted an invasion of Taiwan in 1734, and ended up being booted out of Asia, with half of their colonies in America being divided between China, Japan, Russia and Britain.

The Twin Wars
 
The Twin Wars:

Series of civil wars between the armies so-called "God Twins". These two set themselves up in the Americas before Columbus arrived. They came bearing advanced weapons and knowledge - unknown even to European society (it is still not known where they came across these technologies, but the prevailing theories are that they made them themselves) - and conquered a vast empire spanning from the northern parts of Mesoamerica to the southern points of the former Incan Empire.

The brothers fell out after decades of ruling and the Northern Emperor (who controlled Mesoamerica) seceded from what he saw as an empire dominated by his older brother. The resulting wars were devastating to the Americas, and caused a massive exodus of the northern Mesoamerican peoples into the lands occupied by the Indian Americans.

These are significant for the formation of the Empire of the Feathered Serpent, which soon occupied large parts of the west of North America, and the massive reformations in the Holy Sun Imperium.

Sino-Swiss Wars
 
Sino-Swiss Wars

The Sisters' War.

(do we have to specify the country?)
The Sino-Swiss Wars were the seven engagements between the Chinese Empire and the Swiss Kingdom. The penultimate one was also called the Sisters' War, based on the fact that the Japanese Emperor had married off his two daughters to both China and the Swiss Kingdom, and was started when they got into a fight with each other, boiling into a large conflict that ultimately led to the dismantlement of the Kingdom and its annexation into China. The sister was ultimately left shamed and was rumored to have committed seppuku in the Alps, before being confronted by enemy troops.
