===Revolutionary Era (1792-1814)===

During this era of chaos and civil unrest, the Baykalian people attempted to secede from Kostuvastan, taking advantage of the pandemonium. They managed to secede, and Caltharus and Kostuvastan both attempted to annex the territory soon after. When Baykalia suffered extreme poverty for five years, Baykalia willingly chose to be annexed by Kostuvastan, at the frustration of many Caltharusians. The Codexian empire had also been gradually pushing Kostuvians out of eastern Aurora during this era, slowly taking large chunks of land at a time through purchases and battles.

==Post-Imperial Kostuvastan (1814-1985)==

The [[Kostuvastan Civil War|Kostuv Civil War]] was by far the most devastating war in Kostuv history, and arguably one of the deadliest in Urth's history. Killing around 60 million people through direct and indirect means, the war resulted from an ingrained resentment felt by Kostroms and Tuvalts towards the Baykalians, who held the majority in both the upper and lower houses of legislature, and passed legislature that would maximize Baykalian influence and minimize Kostrom and Tuvalt influence in elections and in legislature. With numerous protests, both peaceful and violent, occurring within the decade before, the oppressed and unrepresented majorities of Kostroms and Tuvalts revolted against the Baykalians, officially starting the war in 1985. It would be another two decades, and numerous battles, airstrikes, and deaths, until the war would officially end in 2005.
