During the early 18th century, French Huguenots fled west to the shores of what is now Lavonia to avoid religious persecution by a predominantly Catholic nation, as well as settle a new society out west.

abstract
  • During the early 18th century, French Huguenots fled west to the shores of what is now Lavonia to avoid religious persecution by a predominantly Catholic nation, as well as settle a new society out west. The Huguenots became a somewhat isolationist, yet militaristic, society during much of the century to avoid conflict with the French or Spanish colonial empires. Known for their abilities to live off the land, as well as bringing European weapons to their land, the Lavonians expanded as far Oregon to the rest of modern-day Victoria by 1763. Between the American Revolutionary War and the Napoleonic Wars, the Lavonians took on a cultural identity of being known Columbians, derived from the personification of the region by the British. By the end of the Napoleonic Wars, Britain decided to use Columbia as a place to exile many French revolutionaries such as Napoleon Bonaparte and his family. Anglo-Russian expansionism saw to the Columbians' lifestyle being interfered with by European imperialism. The United Kingdom and the Russian Empire nearly went to war with each other in 1828 over the control of what makes up the states of Gaul, New Brittany, and parts of New Caledonia, however they agreed to split it up along the 54th parallel, with all lands north being annexed into Russian America and the southern lands being annexed into a new British protectorate known as British Columbia. The Columbians grew tired of colonial rule by 1836 and an armed rebellion broke out, led by Alexander Dubois. British colonial troops greatly underestimated the military skill of the Columbians and were frequently overrun. With American backing in both the rebellion, along with uprisings in Lower Canada, the British ultimately decided to let the Columbians form an independent state. The disputed lands of 1828 between Britain and Russia were immediately ceded to the Columbians per the Treaty of Lavonia, as well as American protection for 50 years. For most of the 19th century, the Columbians focused on building up their economy and expanding westward into the Pacific. With Commodore Du Toit's expedition to Hawaii, the Alyeska-Sitka Purchase in 1881, along with the Spanish-American War in which the Columbians annexed the Spanish East Indies, Columbia proved itself to be a strong North American power, with power rivaling even that of the United States. The absolutist ideology of Alexander III caused the build up of political unrest and violent within the nation, ultimately breaking out in a full-scale civil war initially between monarchists and republicans, however it ultimately broke out into a three-way civil war shortly after Phil LeBeau's establishment of the Social Republic of Columbia, causing mass distress of many communists and socialists across the nation. Ten years of bloody fighting saw the shift of power in Columbia change dramatically and eventually a monarchist victory guaranteed Louis II the throne. With the Attack on Kawela Bay and the subsequent Attack on Pearl Harbor in Sierran Hawai'i, Columbia declared war against the Empire of Japan.
