The 2009 González Archipelago Conflict also called the One Week War is a conflict that erupted in late-2009 after military forces from Narsora attempted to retake the Torisakian controlled islands of González Isle.
Background
The island chain known in Narsora as the González Archipelago was occupied by the country of FR Torisakia in 1973. Since then several threats have been made by both nations to keep control or retake the islands from the other.
Conflict
In late-2009, the Narsoran government launched a military operation to retake the islands and on December 9 narsoran forces invaded the islands in an attempt to force the torisakians out. However narsoran commanders underestimated the capabilities of torisakian troops, and the narsoran military withdrew from the island one week later.
Aftermath
The conflict further strained relations between the two countries and resulted in a near large scale conflict in 2014. The conflict is widely known as a military disaster by most, partly due to the ill planning and bad intelligence by narsoran commanders of the operation.
