The Mauretanian War was a conflict which occurred over the former Empire of Mauretania from the 1st of April 299 to the 13th of May of the same year. The war started when a number of rebel movements erupted across Mauretania. The Emperor himself appealed to the nearby Republic of Ordland for help and, in turn, Ordland established a protectorate over Mauretania. Ordlandic and Mauretanian forces then battled forces from several secessionist movements - most notably, Brolecia. Despite initial advances by the Ordlandic Army, the rebels inflicted a series of defeats over mid-to-late April.
