During the years of 1946-1949, the world was rife with peace and joy. However, those in the republic of Wright islands and volcanic Islands of Krakabloa were in for a nasty shock. The USS Small, a small experimental carrier, was carrying old P-51 Mustang's to the scrapyard. When suddenly, the ship hit an old naval mine. The explosion detonated an ammunition dump. The Small was blown open and sunk in 10 minutes. The nearby RKS ( Royal Krakabloa ship) Bandit was blamed due to lack of visibility. This sparked the first Great War. The war initially started in Wright's favour, due to them having a navy. Then it became apparent that, since Krakabloa had a very good airforce, they were going to turn out the victors. The war ended in 1949 after 4 long years, with Krakabloa receiving French aid such as Panther tanks. The treaty was finalised at Avalanche city far north, and was known as the Treaty of Avalanche city (logically). However, the Treaty has recently fallen out of effect, and thus it looks like war is on the horizon once more. An even more terrifying concept considering both sides are in possession of nuclear weapons.
