First Falklands-Malvinas war

An ongoing war in the South Atlantic that keeps escalating and de-escalating at times. It seems to be erupting again. Not to be confused with the real-life Falklands War.

The 1st war

Template:WarfareIn April 2019, Joel02 returned to EarthMC after a short break and created a town on the Falkland Islands. This town, called 'West-Falklands', was immediately attacked by Argentine forces when Joel02 founded the town. Joel02 was expecting some trouble so he built a massive cobblestone platform to build the town on.

A lot of people from Argentina invaded the town and Joel02 in response managed to get some hits and lava bucketed some of them, he did not stand a real chance on his own though.

Later on, the leader of Argentina came on, who at the time was a moderator. He managed to convince his people to calm down and temporarily there was peace. Joel02 got :Syn: to delete the massive cobble mess he had made and then Joel02 proceeded to immediately start expanding and recruiting.

After a good 3 days, Joel02 had managed to exploit the Toycat invasion and had a decent town with around 20 people in it. Argentina was not happy at this and random forces would invade now and again.

Eventually, Joel02 joined the only other closest nation which was the Glacial_Empire. The town became rather close to the nation and ended up dramatically increasing the nation's population.

More Argentinian forces kept attacking, but this time the town was big enough to fight back with force, The Argentinians were frequently scared off and teleported back to their nation.

Joel02 and the leader of Argentina at the time managed to agree to a deal in which west-Falklands would claim the west only, and Malvinas the east only.

Things went back to being peaceful until Joel02 paid Astro_phant (trusted citizen) to create 'East-Falklands' on the eastern island (hence the name). This was a deliberate betrayal of the treaty by Joel02; in reality, he wanted to buy himself some time to take over the islands and then create a nation.

A strong force of 5 Argentine soldiers came to the town but was quickly scared off, after a short battle, by Glacial Empire and West-Falkland forces. Both parties agreed to a new deal in which there was a 'first come first served' zone in terms of claiming. Glacial empire and Falkland forces logged off for the night, only to realize in the morning that they had underestimated Malvinas claiming power. Fortunately, they had stuck to the treaty meaning West-Falklands were still entitled to more land than Malvinas under the treaty.

Things settled down for a bit until Joel02 decided to leave and focus on exams. He handed the town over to a member of the Glacial empire and it remains a ghost town to this day.

Things have happened since then, feel free to add them. I was not around to know enough about it.

Ongoing conflict

On the 22nd of June 2020, Joel02 returned to the Falklands to create a new town 'Port-Howard' and a future nation. It is much bigger than the previous town and has maxed out at a decent 50 claims; shortly after the creation of the town, Argentina founded a new town on the Falklands right next to Joel02's town, once again called 'Malvinas'.

There was no official treaty with Joel02 specifically in regards to the Falklands War, however now its more of a conflict/cold war as there have not been any battles yet, and both towns only have a population of one. It is clear though that if Joel02 creates a nation, there will be a major battle in the future, especially once Port-Howard has citizens.
