Events[edit]
Prelude: Northern Shops[edit]
While the Shopper Empire and the USSI were fighting over Northern Shops, or shortly thereafter, Swiss Ninja, Kaiser of Snowzerland, realized that he had the perfect opportunity- storm Northern Shops, wipe out all resistance from both sides of Shops Island, and claim the land as part of the Snoss Quarter. However, unbeknownst to him, Castilla and Frankterre had also thought of that. Out of respect for Shops Island, Castilla didn't storm the entire nation at first, they just stopped the Snoss by claiming the northern border. Puffle'and was told not to invade, as Swiss Ninja wanted to claim the land for himself.
Soon after the Snoss and Castillan forces met at the Northern border of the territory, a large battle broke out. The battle lasted six days, but as the end of the sixth day drew near, both forces were forced to retreat. Unbeknownst to them, while they were fighting, Frankterre had conquered the mainland and forced them out from behind.
However, this all took place during the chaos of the Shops Civil War, so it wasn't graced by media coverage until the official scramble had begun.
Trivia[edit]
- The name and premise of this event is based on the real event known as the "Scramble for Africa". It occurred from the late 1800s to the beginning of World War I, and by that time it had seen the European colonization of ninety percent of the African continent.
