Canadaian-Arstotzkan War

Overview
The Canadian-Arstotzkan War was a brief conflict that resulted in Canadian victory.

Causes
A territorial expansion dispute between Arstotzka and Canada led to increased military exercises and tension. Eventually, it was decided that Arstotzka posed a threat to national security so Canada declared war. Mexico and Neo Arkansas, in support of their ally Canada, also declared war.

Battle
The war began with Canadian, Arkansan, and Mexican airstrikes. Using blitzkrieg tactics, a Canadian army successfully invaded Arstotzka. To put pressure on the eastern Arstotzkan flank, Neo Arkansas' Armee Meklenburg, under Otto von Hohenzollern, invaded as well. Poor Arstotzkan leadership and a failed attempt at total war led to a capitulation of the vastly outnumbered Arstotzkan military.

Conclusion
The war concluded with the Treaty of Grestin, in which Canada gained several Arstotzkan provinces including the capital Grestin. Many Arstotzkan leaders found themselves our of a job soon after, and the capital was moved to New Grestin.

Effects
The war greatly increased animosity between Arstotzka and Canada. Arstotzka attempted a bid to regain its capital but was ultimately rejected by members of the global community. There was also a military coup in Arstotzka, which resulted in the deposal of Supreme Leader Swanson and the start for the reign of Premier Boris Kozlov.
