The Brugan Conflict, or Crisis, refers specifically to the period of fighting from 18 November 2030 to 28 December of that same year, between the Brugan Liberation Army and the British-led BFOR, or Brugan Force.

This fighting took place in The Free Territory of Brugan, now the European Mandate of Brugan, over that area's sovereignty.

Background (2016-2030)

edit

Brugan Bridge (2016-2021)

edit

In 2016, French and English governments agree to collaborate on a high speed rail bridge across the channel from Bournemouth  Cherbourg. The bridge will be jointly owned.

Construction begins in 2017

The construction work expands through 2018, and so do the floating camps around the construction sites, looking more and more like a shanty town, as a network of accommodation and supporting infrastructure begins to form across the English Channel.

Construction completes in 2021.

History of the European Refugee Crisis

edit

European migrant crisis

In 2021, Refugees from various Middle Eastern conflicts become stranded in the shanty towns surrounding the bridge as they are denied official entry to either one of the governing countries after attempting to cross over.

European Union Referendums

edit

The United Kingdom elects to leave the EU in 2017. Relations between Scotland and England become increasingly strained. Nigel Farage and Marie Le Pen inspire many with their anti-EU rhetoric.

French referendum on the EU results in a narrow vote to remain a member in 2019.

Affect of British Domestic Policy

edit

In 2022, the UK forces out many migrants who had come to the country since 2017, increasing the number of people forced to head to the Brugan Migrant Community.

Royster Bridge (2023-2027)

edit

In 2023, a second Eastbourne-Dieppe bridge begins construction. Many more Eastern Europeans join the Bruganese workforce.

In 2026, Royster Bridge finishes construction, giving Brugan clearly defined borders.

The Two Canals (2024-2027)

edit

In 2024, the Grand Canal begins construction (East-West), creating a path through the established reclaimed-land. along with the Deuxième Canal (North-South); Bruganese control of the Strait of Dover means the economy of the area develops quickly.

The canals are finished in 2027.

Nasser and Jordan

edit

Nasser frustrated British attempts to draw Jordan into the pact by sponsoring demonstrations in Amman, leading King Hussein to dismiss the British commander of the Arab Legion, Sir John Bagot Glubb (known to the Arabs as Glubb Pasha) in March 1956 and throwing Britain's Middle Eastern security policy into chaos.[1] After one round of bloody rioting in December 1955 and another in March 1956 against Jordan joining the Baghdad Pact, both instigated by Cairo-based Voice of the Arabs radio station, Hussein believed his throne was in danger.[2] In private, Hussein assured the British that he was still committed to continuing the traditional Hashemite alliance with Britain, and that his sacking of Glubb Pasha and all the other British officers in the Arab Legion were just gestures to appease the rioters.
