The Cantonese War was a war fought between armed forces of Soothron and Hurdonia, versus the city of Canton, Thai mercenaries, and Vixetosian Spies & Military "Trainers". It lasted roughly eight years, from 1832 to 1840. It is noted as the most bloody war in Vespatian history, for any of the kingdoms, and is a topic of taboo to speak of in some parts of Vespatia.
