The 10 Days War was a conflict that began when Porant declared war on Hundermenschen due to the latter's lack of a democratic form of government. A "domino effect" resulted as several more nations were pulled into one of two sides. Initially, it seemed as if the attacking armies were going to be victorious, but as Hundermenschen called upon allies to assist, the invading forces were repulsed and forced to agree to peace out of fear of invasion themselves.
The short ten-day war inflicted hundreds of thousands of casualties on both sides. Hundermenschen received the most casualties out of all, due to their nation being the battleground in nearly all engagements.
Background
Porant was a strong country both politically and militarily that advocated strongly for democratic forms of government. The strong ties they held throughout their region and the world enabled them to meddle in matters globally, influencing foreign governments and decisions made in distant lands. Porant eventually took notice of Hundermenschen, a gigantic nation led by an autarch. Porant wished to flex its political muscles and demanded that Hundermenschen resort to a more democratic government, to which they received a negative reply. Tensions rose between the two nations as Porant repeatedly demanded for democratic rule in Hundermenschen. Hundermenschen continued dealing with its own internal issues (Hundermenschen was going through an intense drought at the time of this crisis) and ignored the barrage of threats from Porant.
Porant decided enough was enough and that matters had to be dealt with by force. Porant declared war on 17 January 1913 at 10:49 am.
