Kyterian Colonial Wars

The Kyterian Colonial Wars, or the Kyterian Peninsula wars, were a series of conflicts within the Kneki Region that would be extremely important for the history of Kyterian Expansion. Under the rule of Kees Elbers III, Kyter's Whaling industry was a backbone for the growing economy of Kyter. Once the discovery of the fruitfully large Kneki Whales was discovered in the region, Kyter promoted sailing to the land to establish small ports and fishing communities, eventually leading to the expansion of ports surrounding the Kneki Kingdoms and tribes. This rapid growth became an urgent issue for the neighboring Kneki Kingdoms and tribes in the area, leading to multiple skirmishes and battles over frontier lands. This came to a boiling point in 1736 when a local village north of Roqui was slaughtered by Kyterian soldiers in a raid on the area. This led to the declaration of war from the Tuonkvi Kingdom, as well as its dominions.
