One such incursion was the German defense at the Second Battle of Sorong. The battle was partially from tensions over New Guinea's ownership, and another being the longstanding German policy of protecting small Malaya-Moluccas nations such as [[Malaya]] and [[Oceania]]. The battle was a successful defense of Sorong, unlike the first battle which saw the city entirely destroyed. The battle interestingly did cause deterioration of German Japanese relations for a time, culminating in the Mid-April crisis. | One such incursion was the German defense at the Second Battle of Sorong.

The crisis was solved however, with a scaleback on German diplomacy and a cooling of tensions. A Non-Aggression Pact was signed with Japan, and the corresponding Guineas were recognized by both parties. Germany also decided to be neutral in the [[Kerala War]] despite Lantaun appeals for support. Germany continued to grow, though Austria lost 20 people inexplicitly. A scare came on 4/17/2018 when Roman troops entered Ulm, however it ended up being them passing through Europe in order to fight in the Kerala War. | The crisis was solved however, with a scaleback on German diplomacy and a cooling of tensions.

==== The Kerala War ==== | ==== The Kerala War Outbreak ==== | ||
The Kerala War, initially a local conflict, became the driving force of German foreign relations from their declaration on 4/21/2018. The war had many affects, such as solidifying friendly relations between Japan and Germany as of now, and allowing Germans to fulfill militarist desires. The war also saw a tremendous shift in German thought, as previously Germans generally lauded at war and glorified it. While not depicted in policy, this thought subconsciously drove the nation. The war's massive casualties quickly changed this, as while the allied side was generally winning and equipment was not an issue, the general population of both Imperial Germany and Austria had much less desire for full on warfare. That said, German intervention in the war was significant, with all significant battles since declaration featuring either minor or major German support on the allied side. | The Kerala War, initially a local conflict, became the driving force of German foreign relations from their declaration on 4/21/2018.

The war saw major damage to both the Allied and Central powers, however German towns saw relatively little attacks due to engineered traps from November. Padova saw significant attacks, however after a particularly humiliating defeat Lantau stopped raiding the colonial city. | ||
==== Colonial Expansion ==== | |||
This time also saw the most rapid colonial expansion in German history, with 4 new towns being established in New Guinea and several across Africa. This saw the advent of long standing German colonial claims. Austria also became relatively inactive at this time. | |||
