Heljiland Invasion

Heljiland, an island located within the region, experienced an opportunistic invasion in 1920 by the Agnolian Prime Minister. This event took place during a period of revolution in the Empire of Valgos. Interestingly, the Agnolians had previously relinquished control of the island several centuries prior when it was sold in exchange for a substantial sum of gold to alleviate their financial obligations. The Agnolian Prime Minister justified the invasion by invoking concerns for the safety and well-being of Agnolian citizens who still resided on the island. Following the conclusion of the revolution, the newly established government of Valgsland prioritized the consolidation of its new governance structure rather than seeking to reclaim Heljiland. This audacious act is widely regarded as one of the most successful territorial acquisitions in recent history, rivaling even the annexation of Dome by Rumburg. For many Agnolians, Helji Island represents a source of immense national pride, symbolizing the remarkable achievements that a small nation can attain in the face of formidable adversaries.
