The 11 year peace

After the First Swedish-Operanian war the kingdom of Operania was rather weakened due to the army being inexperienced because of this being the first war the unified kingdom was in and it didn’t really help that the Operanian army didn’t really grow or strengthen the army before the war, however this allowed the kingdom of Operania lick its wounds and strengthen the army increasing it to 45k with most of it becoming cavalry due to the kingdom’s geography and vast amounts of land in between cities and strategic locations however this would not be the only advances during Operania’s eleven years of peace, that being in economics with King Aluminium the 2nd introducing tax reforms increasing the cost and the time in which they were meant to be collected to mixed results among the people leading to the “Adik slaughter” on 18 April 1291 AD where sixty peasants were killed by Operanian knights after they rebelled against the king when he introduced the tax reforms, this would also led to a improvement of the kingdom’s education though while it was only the nobles and a extremely small amount of peasants it was still an advancement in the kingdom.

Over all these eleven years would help in Operania into becoming more of a regional power in terms of the ways in wars and in economics with this period of peace time for the kingdom ending on June 5th 1300 AD with the start of the Operanian-Norwegian war which would show how much Operania had learnt from the first Swedish-Operanian war and from the eleven years of peace since the war.
