The Aloian-Bohemian War was a war fought between 1908 and 1912. This war was the final conflict between Aloia and Bohemia. The result of the war was that Bohemia was dissolved as a national entity and its constituent territories became states of Aloia.
The historical roots of the conflict stretch back to the 1400s and 1500s, when the Baltic League began building trading cities along all the shores of the Baltic Sea, in territory occupied by Slavic Bohemians. Germanic Balts were continuously in conflict with the Slavs, fighting over territory for hundreds of years. In 1872, the Bohemia and Aloia signed the Konigsberg Agreement, a treaty that officially signed Pomerania over to Aloia and established peace between the kingdoms. In 1908, a signficant number of Aloians lived in the Sudeten mountains of Bohemia and their cities voted overwhelmingly in a referendum to leave Bohemia and join Aloia. The Bohemian government responded by sending troops into the cities and began deporting Aloians.
Aloia responded by sending their troops into the Sudetens, overwhelming Bohemian defenses and sparking a four year war. Aloia annexed that territory, establishing Sudetenland as a state of Aloia, and began their conquest of Bohemia. By 1911, the city of Prague was all that remained in Bohemian hands. The 11-month Siege of Prague lasted until August 1912, when the King of Bohemia and his government fled and the war was ended, as all the territory came under Aloian control. The regions of Bohemia were annexed to the Saxon Dominion as the states of Lower Silesia, Upper Silesia, Sudetenland, Moravia, and Bohemia.
The Bohemian government-in-exile survived until 1940, when it was dissolved. Today there are three claimants to the throne of Bohemia, though all three are not permitted to enter Aloia unless they renounce the claim. The monarch of Aloia, currently Victoria III reigns as Queen of the Bohemians.
