The Great Loraxian War, also known as the Loraxian Conflict, war of the Lorax, or simply the Loraxian War, was a global military conflict that lasted from 1952 to 1957. It was fought between the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics and the Loraxian Pact, primarily over the destruction of eco. 


Declaration of War

On January 1st, 1952, The Lorax, a well-known environmental activist and defender of eco creatures, declared war on the Soviet Union in a passionate speech addressing the United Nations. The reason behind this declaration was the rampant pollution caused by the USSR's industrialisation and economic growth policies, which had severely impacted the surrounding eco system.


Landing Operations in Northern Russia and the Far East

On February 1st, 1952, a massive army of animals, numbering around 50 million, landed in Northern Russia. This invasion force was led by the Lorax and included creatures from around the world such as penguins, turtles, Salamanders, ostriches & anteaters, all of which were united in their desire to defend eco. This surprise attack caught the Soviet Union off guard and caused significant chaos and confusion in the affected regions.


Despite their numbers, the animals attacking Northern Russia did not possess advanced military technology, and their lack of coordination and training made them vulnerable to the Soviet army's superior firepower and military tactics. While they were able to cause some initial disruptions, the Soviet Union quickly mobilized its own forces to deal with the invading animals.


On April 24th, 1952, approximately 200,000 Kauai o'o birds, a critically endangered species of honeycreeper native to Hawaii, inexplicably appeared in Siberia, thousands of miles from their natural habitat. The sudden arrival of these birds, which had mysteriously vanished from their home islands only a few years prior, baffled scientists and animal experts alike and sparked much speculation and debate. After extensive research and investigation, it was discovered that the Kauai O'O birds that had materialized in Siberia were not their natural species, but rather clones created by The Lorax using Kauoaik. These clones had been programmed to serve as allies for The Lorax against the Soviet Union, and they had been deployed in Siberia to assist in the ongoing conflict.


On Christmas Day, 1952, a sudden bombing attack targeted the remaining 1,500 Kauai O'O birds as they were preparing to leave Siberia after a failed operation in the Far East. Despite their best efforts, only around 200 of the birds managed to escape unharmed. The Soviet Union took full responsibility for the attack, which was seen as an act of aggression by the Lorax and further escalated the ongoing tensions between the two adversaries.


American Invasion of Siberia

On June 23rd, 1953, a contingent of American troops landed on Large Diomede Island, which is located in the Bering Strait between Russia and the United States. This move marked the direct involvement of the United States in the Great Loraxian War, and it represented a major escalation in the conflict, as it brought direct confrontation between the two superpowers. The American troops landed on Large Diomede Island with the goal of supporting the Lorax’s forces and shifting the balance of power in the region in their favor. The American troops' arrival on Large Diomede Island was a strategically significant event in the Great Loraxian War. The island, which is the easternmost point of Russia, held immense symbolic value as a geographical and cultural representation of the Soviet Union's expansion into the Arctic region. The Americans' foothold on the island posed a significant threat to the Soviet Union, as it allowed them to closely monitor their activities and potentially disrupt their operations in the region. The island's location also provided a tactical advantage for the American forces, as it offered a strategic base for launching attacks against the Soviet Union. Following their establishment on Large Diomede Island, the American troops continued to advance further into Soviet territory. The strategic advantage of the island acted as a launching point for a series of coordinated attacks on Soviet forces. With the support of the Lorax and his allies, the Americans made significant gains, capturing several key territories and pushing deeper into Soviet lands.


Evacuation of Loraxian troops in Karelia

On November 1st, 1953, the Lorax received alarming reports of planes being spotted near Thneedville, a small town located east of Saint Petersburg in Karelia, a region in northwestern Russia. In response, the Lorax issued an immediate evacuation order for the remaining troops, fearing a potential aerial attack by Soviet forces. The troops swiftly obeyed the Lorax's directive, quickly vacating Karelia. The Lorax's decision to evacuate Karelia was a wise one, as it prevented further casualties and allowed the Loraxian forces to regroup and strategize. The Soviet Union's advancement towards Thneedville had raised serious concerns, and the Lorax recognized the need to safeguard his forces and prevent further loss. The evacuation allowed the Lorax to maintain his forces' cohesion and preparedness, while also denying the Soviet Union a significant victory in the region.


Quandanian occupation of Poland

On February 14th, 1954, the Quandanian Reich initiated an occupation of Poland. This bold move served as a strategic maneuver to prepare for an invasion of the Soviet Union. The Reich's troops swiftly took control of Polish territories and positioned themselves for the impending attack on the USSR. The occupation of Poland signified the Reich's growing confidence in its military power and ambition for territorial expansion, further fueling the tensions in the region and the ongoing Great Loraxian War. 


Largest bombing raid in history

July 13th, 1954 witnessed a massive bombing raid by the American forces. The targets included some of the most significant cities in the Soviet Union: Yakutsk, Thneedville, Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Oncelergrad, Perm, Kiev, Minsk, Vilnus, Tallinn and Riga. This bombing raid was the biggest in history at the time, with the American military aiming to deliver a crippling blow to Soviet leadership and infrastructure.


Operation Skibidi Minion

On May 1st, 1955, the Quandanian Reich officially declared war on the Soviet Union and started a military offensive against western Russia. The Quandanian forces, led by Werner Werman and Dequavious Dingle, advanced into Soviet territory, determined to secure strategic victories and expand their empire. The Soviet Union, already embroiled in the Great Loraxian War and facing significant losses, now faced another formidable adversary in the Quandanian Reich. The Quandanian troops, with their advanced military technology and disciplined forces, proved to be a significant challenge for the Soviet defenses. Following this later that day, Arstotzka declared war on Kolechia, an ally for Quandania.


The Liberation of Antarctica

In 1956, a civil war broke out in Antarctica between the Antarctican Socialist Soviet Republic and the newly formed 2nd Penguin Empire. The war began as a coup d'état led by Pengu III, leader of the 2nd Penguin Empire, who sought to overthrow the government of the Antarctican SSR. The war lasted the rest of the year and resulted in the formation of the 2nd Penguin Empire, with Pengu III as the emperor on New Years of 1957.


Battle of Mirny

The Battle of Mirny was a decisive moment in the Penguin Civil War. The battle took place at the Mirny Station, a scientific research base in Antarctica. The Antarctican SSR had set up a final defensive line around the station, hoping to hold back the advancing forces of the 2nd Penguin Empire. The battle lasted for several weeks and was the deadliest of the war, with heavy casualties on both sides. In the end, the 2nd Penguin Empire forces overwhelmed the Antarctican SSR forces and captured the Mirny Station.


Collapses of the Eastern Bloc

1956 saw a wave of revolts in several Eastern Bloc countries. These anti-Soviet uprisings were fueled by discontent with the political and economic control exercised by the Soviet Union over its allies, as well as the growing influence of the Quandanian Reich in the region. Some notable revolts and protests that took place in the Eastern Bloc in 1956 include:

Nuclear warfare

On January 30th, 1957, tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union reached a critical point. In a daring move, the Americans successfully crippled the USSR's nuclear arsenal, effectively neutralizing their nuclear threat. With this significant leverage, the United States issued a powerful ultimatum: surrender to the United Nations or face the devastating consequence of a nuclear attack on Moscow. On February 5th, 1957, the Quandanian Reich, having witnessed the United States successful disarmament of the Soviet Union's nukes, took the opportunity to issue a similar threat. The Quandanian leadership warned the Soviet Union and the wider world that if they refused to surrender, they would retaliate by launching nuclear missiles at the key city of Oncelergrad. This added another layer of tension to the ongoing conflict and further complicated the delicate balance of power in the region.


Nuclear attack on Moscow and Oncelergrad

On June 23rd at 8:48, two nuclear strikes were executed, leveling Moscow and Oncelergrad to the ground. The Onceler, a key figure in the Soviet regime, fell in the blast, marking the end of an era for the Soviet Union. On June 25th, The Twiceler, in the wake of the disastrous nuclear strikes and the death of the Onceler, stepped up as the new leader of the Soviet Union. This sudden elevation to power was a result of the emergency situation and the necessity for immediate leadership. As the new head of state, the Twiceler was faced with the immense challenge of rebuilding and reunifying the shattered nation.


Surrender of the Soviet Union

On November 23rd, 1957, the Quandanian troops launched a surprise raid on The Twiceler's base in Samara, a city in Russia. Sensing the dire situation, the Twiceler made a desperate decision to surrender before the troops could storm the premises. In a dramatic move, he leaped out of the building, attempting to escape the advancing Quandanian forces. The act of surrender marked a pivotal moment in the Great Loraxian War, signaling the end of the Soviet resistance. The Twiceler died on impact. The Soviet Union surrendered later that day, with Bingustan following suit, surrendering on November 25th.


End of Arstotzkan War

On November 29th, 1957, Kolechia surrendered to Arstotzka following the capture of the capital, Yurko City and assassination of their leader by extremists. The end of the conflict also caused the end of the Loraxian War entirely. Shortly after the end of the war, Siberia and Karelia declared independence from the collapsed USSR.
