The Levantine Wars

The Levantine Wars were a series of conflicts in Season 7 that involved more than five nations and lasted for around two days. The repercussions of the Wars would extend far beyond the Levant region itself, and cause ripple effects that would devastate some nations and give rise to others. They were closely related to and intermixed with the RaiderKnight Wars, of which two occurred in the Levant area.

The Israeli-Palestinian War
It all began on the sixteenth of December, 2020, when the players JackJ and Oven3 founded the nations of Palestine and Israel respectively. As both players postured back and forth, some said that conflict was inevitable.

Despite a rule being in place against wars between towns, JackJ and Oven3 began fighting a minor war in Israel and along the border between Israel and Palestine. Both players died multiple times, with neither player seeming to achieve the upper hand.

This new conflict would draw the attention of the two major powers in the region - Egypt, under Ruther and Neighbour, and Rome, under sungross. The war would last another hour, in which Egypt attempted to form a peace between them while also exerting their influence at the same time.

Rome saw the war as an opportunity for expansion, and offered to both Palestine and Israel membership in the nation of Rome. Both accepted, ending the Israeli-Palestinian War, but sparking an anger in Egypt that would lead to the Roman-Egyptian War.

Roman-Egyptian War
The Roman Egyptian war started after Rome integrated Israel and Palestine in the Empire. The Egyptians almost immediately declared war on Rome for overlapping claims. The Battle of Israel soon begun, with alleged cheating used by the Romans and their allies the Texans, who teleported into the Israeli capital and began to fight the Egyptians.

After an hour of fighting, the Egyptians were soon all wiped out. Though the Romans and their allies were outnumbered, they were able to defeat all three members of Egypt and take all their items.

This monumental event caused Ruther, Neighbour, and Tooger to ragequit the Minecraft and Discord servers, causing an immediate concession of victory to the Romans, and a defeat for the Egyptians. This would be the catalyst for the eventual collapse of Egypt.
