Phoenicia
"Main Article: Phoenicia"Phoenicia was a civilization allied to Bananarama before the start of the war, but had multiple conflicts with it. It had sent a few soldiers to protect Bananarama's capital, Musa Sapientum Fixa, from the attacking Mongols.

Black Plague
"Main Article: Black Plague"The black plague was a highly infectious disease that spreaded through Britannia, killing many Brittons. Bananarama demanded Britannia to send multiple infected individuals, to which Britannia refused. Many nations pressured Bananarama to stop their attempts at getting the plague, Bananarama then tried to create it's own disease, but failed to do so.

Hollow Sands, a Bananaramian ally, began researching into the Black Plague's cure, developing a special soup that was able to cure this disease, to which Bananarama disapproved, telling Hollow Sands to not send it to Britannia, but Hollow Sands delivered the cure either way.

Siege of Musa Sapientum Fixa
After Mongolia declared war on Bananarama, they marched their army down to Musa Sapientum Fixa. Here, they began to lay siege on the city, and began the Siege of Musa Fixa. The Bananaramians retaliated by attacking the Mongolian attackers at night, killing a few. This didn't slow the mongols down, and the siege got worse. However, a very lucky flood, caught the mongols off-guard, requiring them to move to a raised location. this allowed the Bananaramians time to gather food and attack a tribal village nearby. By the time the Mongolians returned to besieging, the warriors had returned. Soon after, the mongols attacked. This attack devastated the army, and only 5 men survived. This vital battle marked the start of the Bananaramian collapse.

The causes of the war

 * The Bronze Embargo which, while obviously caused by the Laestygronians, is nothing more than just an excuse for the Bananaramanians to continue with their expansionist policy. It’s, in a way, like Danzig - you can’t blame the Poles for refusing to give it considering it’s importance. That is why Laestygron shouldn’t be held responsible for the events that have occurred after the embargo.


 * The expansionist policy of Bananarama Bananarama is responsible for this, obviously. He’s running a militarized state that’s living off constant war. His actions against the “Losers” have proven that. But in the end, even his policy is just a reflection of the realpolitik occuring in the Mediterranean, where allies betray each other and enemies shake hands. Bananarama has just found an efficient, until now, way to run his state and survive.

Reasons for the extension of the conflict

 * The Bananaramanian coalition Bananarama responded to the embargo by preparing for war and dragging in as many countries as possible, which caused a disaster unseen until now.
 * The Mongols By declaring war on Bananarama, the conflict grew really big. The Mongols gave hope to the Mediterranean of getting rid of the aggressive Bananaramanian warmongers.
 * The betrayal of Phoenicia The fate of Bananarama was set in stone when his allies betrayed him. With the Mongols marching towards him and his own allies against him he had no chance. The war became rather one sided.
