Prewar

 * December 1934- A coup in Nabei results in the establishment of a pro-Xencovian government, denounced by Nukigurun.
 * February 1935- Nukigurun presents an ultimatum to Nabei government, telling it to step down or otherwise face intervention.
 * March 1935- Nukigurun invades Nabei; war is declared by Xencovia.
 * May 1935- Jeongmi and Meisaan declare war on Nukigurun. The Chukyo pact is signed by Mincang, Gaoxiong, Fusen, and Hachuabsh, solidifying an anti-Jeongmi/Meisaan axis.
 * June 1935 - Fusen invades Shojin, Basanreseri, Kinshu and Tosanchi, which are guaranteed by Jeongmi and Meisaan. Jeongmi and Meisaan declare war on Fusen.
 * August 1936 - Taking advantage of the chaos in the East Sinju Sea, Mincang and Gaoxiong launch a surprise attack on Meisaan. Fancy Mincang ski troops invade Meisaan directly over the western mountains in a surprise attack that skirts Sansiao (part of Meisaan at the time), where Meisaan was expecting an attack. A massive proportion of the Meisaani army is encircled in Sansiao and destroyed. The defeat of the Meisaani army in southern Meisaan alarms Jeongmi, which up to this point had not fully mobilized.
 * September 1936 - Hachuabsh invades Hweshed and the Jeongmian colony of Hallaiha. Jeongmi and Meisaan declare war on Hachuabsh. The war begins in Yeongju. Mincang and Gao forces continue their offensive up the Meisaani coast.

 * October 1935 - Mincang and Gao forces with support from Fusen reach Minghoi in late October. The Meisaani government capitulates and some elements of the Meisaani army are able to retreat into Jeongmi. Mincang and Gao then declare war on Hokan, which had been neutral up to this point
 * November 1935 - An unusually harsh winter begins northwest Meisaan, which forces the Mincang and Gao advance to a halt.
 * March 1936 - Jeongmian-Meisaani forces attempt a counteroffensive and briefly retake Minghoi, however Mincang and Gao rally and are able to stop the Jeongmians and Meisaanis. The war in northern Meisaan grinds into a stalemate, with Minghoi changing sides multiple times until the allies launch another counteroffensive toward the later stages of the war.
