The town of Burgundy-Prussia was founded by Bourgogne under the name of "Alpine Gaul" after leaving the Greater Roman Empire. Judy's intent was to join France under Barvaux. This town was known in the past as Lombardy, Romandy, and Bern.

The name, Burgundy-Prussia was chosen for the historical location of the Duchy of Burgundy and the ownership of the Canton of Neuchâtel by Prussia.

History

Alpine Gaul

Burgundy was founded in the alps. Bourgogne expanded the town greatly by making a hollow claim in the alps. Eventually, he decided to start claiming north of the alps. The claims north of the alps were filled in.

Expansion

It was in this period that Burgundy acquired the majority of its claims.

Expulsion from France

May

In early May, the town was kicked out of France by King Cragno I. This was due to Cragno and Bourgogne's political differences. Burgundy continued its commitment to France.

Removal of Alps hollow claim

Cause

Burgundy's hollow claim was reported by Switzerland after it refused to join them. This event prompted Bourgogne to leave EMC for 7 days.

German Ultimatum

The Kabinett Threatens Burgundy

The German Kabinett demanded Bourgogne hand over his town to a Swiss citizen. He refused. No action was taken because Burgundy did not have a nation. Germany said that it would declare war on any nation Bern joined.

French Revolution

Paris Grieved

Paris suffered a massive grief by a trusted councillor, Mocc. The Eiffel tower was destroyed and the Louvre raided. This event set the course for the French Revolution.

Cragno Abdicates

Following the grief, King Cragno abdicated. Cactusinapumpkin was made the new King. This made way for a re-entry of Burgundy into France as Bourgogne's allies lobbied for him.

Re-Entry Vote

The vote and the chaos that ensued was caused by Vwon, senator from Lyon.

Operation Rampjaar

From the chaos, a group known as "Operation Rampjaar" formed between many French members. Its members included: Fmr King Barvaux I, LogantheProdigy, Thanamos, Bourgogne, Gregg, and Lamye. Rampjaar members drafted an ultimatum to Benja, Mikey , and Cactus.

Ultimatum Refused and 10 Days of War

The ultimatum was refused. This begun the First French Civil War.

Battle of Zurich

Meanwhile, Germany was still at odds with Burgundy. Burgundy joined Britain right after Germany violated a border treaty with them. Angloist, mayor of Dublin, and Bourgogne started a battle at the border between Zurich and Burgundy. Switzerland and Germany admitted defeat following the event.

The New Deal

Following Switzerland's defeat at Zurich, Burgundy and Switzerland reached a new deal: Burgundy would be shared between both France and Switzerland while being owned by Bourgogne.

Revolutionary Victory

The revolutionaries and French King Cactusinapumpkin reached a deal, beginning the French Republic.
