The War of 2002, fought between the United States of Antarctica and its allies Archet and its allies, was a war that occurred in 2002. It was caused by the USA wanting to invade Freezeland for more land. The War of 2002 was the second attempt by the USA to conquer an independent country to add to their territory, after the First Hontanan War.
History[edit]
At the end of the Antarctic Revolution the government of the USA, desired to control the whole continent, and possibly all of Antarctica, and wanted more land and money for their newly formed country, even though their attempt at conquering Hontana failed. However the South Pole Council still voted sent troops to conquer southern Archet, establishing a foothold for them to conquer the rest of Freezeland, who had been fighting to maintain their position in what is now lower Happyface State.
In May 2002, Percy Spencerson, a prominent figure in the Archetian army, was arrested by USA soldiers. His successor, Lord Shiverpool, was more moderate than Percy had been and the Freezelandians were treating Antarctican ships and seaguins peacefully, even if they didn't get peace back. The Freezelandian Royal Navy was instructed to avoid clashes with Antarcticans. This did not deter the South Pole Council members to want war, and the South Pole Council declared war on June 18, 2002. Many found the news of war exhilarating. All over the USA handshakes abounded and a rejoicing as never seen before, muskets and cannons were fired, and there was much cheering.
On July 12, a USA force, led by general Billy Hall, entered Archet. The Freezelandian general Gregory Whatdyaseh gathered 1,000 soldiers in support of Archet. Hall was driven back to Fort Shiverpool, on the border with the USA, and surrounded by Freezelandian soldiers and Archetian militias under Whatdyaseh. In the end, Hall surrendered the fort without firing a single shot.
In late July, a new force of USA troops burned down the towns of Rork and Nyark in Archet. The Archetians drove them out of the highlands of Mammoth, and the lowlands in south Archet soon after. The Freezelandians planned to retaliate, and sent a large fleet to sail through Weddell, blockade the north coast of Antarctica, and capture the ports on the coast of the Antarctic Peninsula and the strategic port of Penguin Town, now Club Penguin.
In August, Freezeland was able to intensify a naval blockade of Weddell and to increase its troop strength in the area. The Freezelandians attacked a USA fort on what is now Club Penguin, but USA troops stopped their advance. The Freezelandians also advanced on Shiverpool, the capital of the Antarctic Peninsula, hoping to establish a foothold in the Peninsula.
In late August, when the war had reached the doorsteps of Acadia, the young country was faced with a difficult decision. If they stayed neutral, either side would sack them, the USA side had more troops, but the Freezelandians were just defending their land. Though the young country was still rebuilding from after the Acadian Revolution, President Greg Cleanington joined the war on the side of the Freezelandians, a decision that faced a lot of criticism. After joining, an Acadian force was able to help Freezeland conquer the USA-held Shiverpool with ease.
In September, the United Kingdom of Puffle'and joined the war, and continued to bombard USA ports with its powerful navy, hoping to regain lost land from the Antarctic Revolution. It started to bombard the port of Club Penguin, and captured many port cities in the Antarctic Peninsula, cutting off the inland Peninsula from USA soldiers. Puffle'and and Acadia were able to capture most of the state with ease.
In October, a combined Puffish and Freezelandian force attacked Club Penguin, hoping to stop the USA advance. However, the citizens of Penguin Town, who were alive during the Antarctic Revolution, took up their weapons again and fought. The Puffish-Freezelandian force was forced to retreat, and a man named Scott Frank Keyes wrote a song called the Booyah Banner, which many USA citizens want to be the national anthem.
After conquering most of the Antarctic Peninsula, the combined Freezelandian, Puffish, and Acadian forces advanced on South Pole City from the east, with the main Freezelandian army from the present day Happyface State advancing from the north, in Freezeland. In retaliation for the burning of Rork and Nyark earlier in the year, Freezeland and their allies sacked and burned many of the buildings in the government district of South Pole City, before marching right up to the South Pole Council Building and demanding a surrender.
In late December, a peace treaty was made, restoring "principles of perfect reciprocity," in the words of the treaty, "peace, friendship, and good understanding" between "Freezeland and the United States of Antarctica." Realizing their mistake, Antarcticans were overjoyed the war was over. They now knew not to be hostile to those who could be their allies.
The hostile South Pole Council members (except for the oblivious Judge Xavier) were all overthrown shortly after, replaced by the modern, peaceful Council delegates that we know today. The reformed Council quickly drafted the Treaty of Dorkugal to stabilize the continent and create the Free Republic Union, and Freezeland and Acadia both of whom fought against the USA, became close allies with the USA.
