The Venezuelan War (or Venezuelan Conflict) is an on-going deffensive war in northern South America between the nations Venezuela and Haiti.
Background
Casus belli
Venezuela declared war on Haiti and Trinidad because these last two nations began taking away Venezuelan's territory and claiming it as theirs.
Trinidad also began claimblocking Caracas earlier this year, refuting this was made for claiming an abandoned railway.
A territorial treaty was signed in 2019 but it didn't work well and wasn't respected by any of its participants.
The war
In August 18, Venezuela declared war on Haiti and Trinidad, complaining about constant claimblocking. Brazil, New Granada, Lebanon and Cordoba quickly joined their side, as they were also having problems with Haiti.
More than one hundred of nations declared war on Venezuela (most of them not even knowing anything about Haiti) and a battle was fought on Tortuga, lasting for 20 minutes and ending with a decisive Haitian victory.
Afterwards, Brazil decided to remove their millitary support from Venezuela after receiving dozens of war declarations. This caused MinePlayer98 to call for a ceasefire as he didn't have enough allies to face Haiti.
South Cone Union, the biggest alliance in South America, evaluated helping Venezuela but concluded it would be useless, stating that it already was a "lost war".
