+==== Great Oyvey of Voelhaven ====
-When the first Walschorian colonist<del>s</del> set foot to the Voelhaven peninsula, they were received friendlily by the native Yevs, and found shelter in their small village. While they were out surveying the area, the Yev village was attacked by Zombies, who broke down the doors and massacred all 2,000,000 million Yevs. This event, and the failure of the first colonist<del>s</del> to defend the natives, is remembered as the [[Great Oyvey of Voelhaven]].

 Every day is memorial day and any citizen of Nieuw Walschor is personally responsible for these events.
-=== Founding of Voelhaven ===
+==== Founding of Voelhaven ====
 The city of Voelhaven, which was to become the bud and later capital of Nieuw Walschor, was founded by P_P_A, acting on behalf of the Grand Duke of Walschor P_P_A in search of new lands to colonise. His ship anchored in the calm Bay of Voelhaven. After setting foot to the Peninsula of Voelhaven and making contact with the local native Yevs, the colonist<del>s</del> began constructing a small town.
-=== Growth of the colony ===
+==== Growth of the colony ====
 Resources were scarce and conditions rough as the colonist<del>s</del> laboured to construct a road network, mill, town hall, and modern fortifications around Voelhaven. Lacking yet the means to defend itself, Voelhaven joined the [[nations:hbe|The Holy Breshikan Empire]] for protection.
 It was not until the Eisenbacher merchant [[users:Luddi]] visited Voelhaven that it entered its golden age. Delighted by the town's architecture, he spread word of it across the server. Soon, a growing number of people settled down in the colony, whose population reached 5 on Jan 6th 2013.
-=== Nationhood ===
+==== Nationhood ====
 The requirements having been met, Nieuw Walschor was declared a nation one day later.
 In the light of its growing might, its status as a dependent colony was deemed inappropriate. To pre-empt secession, the Grand Duke of Walschor P_P_A awarded the colonial governor P_P_A the title of a Prince, thereby turning the nation into a principality. Nieuw Walschor formally recognises the Grand Duchy of Walschor as its suzerain, but its great autonomy renders it effectively independent.
-Nieuw Walschor remains a member nation of the Holy Breshikan Empire.
+Nieuw Walschor remained a member nation of the Holy Breshikan Empire.
-=== Annexation of Nedermark ===
+==== Annexation of Nedermark ====
 On the 23rd January 2013, P_P_A Prince of Nieuw Walschor was visited by the ghost of Koentinius and guided to Amsterhavn. He visited the cemetery and marked every grave with the name of one of Nedermark's former citizens. After a moment of silence, he declared the annexation of Nedermark, turning it into a protectorate of Nieuw Walschor for the sake of preserving its heritage.
+==== War of the Breshikan Succession ====
+//Main article: [[[battles:war_of_breshikan_succession|War of the Breshikan Succession]]//
+Following the departure of [[people:shakomatic:start|Kaiser Shakomatic]], [[people:k_chris|K_Chris]] proclaimed himself emperor of the Holy Breshikan Empire, which the two de facto leaders, P_P_A and [[people:sidmarcus01|Sidmarcus01]] protested. After K_Chris murdered P_P_A on a diplomatic mission war was declared between K_Chris on one side, and an alliance of Nieuw Walschor and Kriegstein on the other.\\
+Nieuw Walschor, still lacking in resources, was ill-prepared for a war of the scale this one was to assume. K_Chris soon received backup by the [[nations:katten_khaganate|Katten Khaganate]] and its vassals, [[nations:battkhortostan:battx8:start|Battkhortostan]] among them, and other assorted allies.
+==== Dissolution ====
+The Breshikan forces suffered many losses, and Nieuw Walschor's capacities were strained during successive raids and counter-offences. After the country's wolf militia was decimated and its armoury robbed during the [[battles:voelhaven_massacre|Massacre of Voelhaven]], it became obvious that defeat was inevitable.\\
+Upset by the jingoistic behaviour and lousy performance of his vassal, the Grand Duke of Walschor in the distant capital Ketherbrühl revoked the Prince of Walschor's titles. The Princiality of Nieuw Walschor was thus effectively dissolved; its holdings reverted to settlement status, the colony [[settlements:markonie|Markonië]] gained independence.

 === West Marscland Dispute ===
 During the time when Voelhaven was still a settlement, unknown forces landed on the shores of western Marscland and laid the foundation for a large tower, in plain sight of Voelhaven. Incensed by this grave disturbance of his coziness, P_P_A put up a few signs bearing harsh warnings.
 Even as Nieuw Walschor gained nationhood, the dispute remained unresolved.
-Days later, the building had been removed, and a couple of signs conceding defeat were found in its place, though the invaders' identity remained unknown. West Marscland was thereupon officially annexed to Nieuw Walschor and incorporated into Marscland Province. A monument was erected on the site commemorating this great victory for coziness.
