March 6th, 1886.
The soft crackle of Matthew Hesh's fireplace filled his office as he poured over maps and old books. His gaze fell on a historical volume titled "The Border Wars of Tejas: Amerathia and Mexico's Long Rivalry". He leaned back in his chair, flipping through the pages to remind himself of the conflict that had shaped two nations.
The Grand Republic of Amerathia and the United States of Mexico had been at odds for decades. The trouble began years ago when settlers from Amerathia migrated into the region of Tejas, then a part of Mexico. The vast, fertile plains were a farmer's dream, and soon, thousands of settlers had established towns and communities.
Mexico, already struggling with its vast borders and internal discontent, attempted to impose stricter control over Tejas. But the settlers resisted. In 1836, the people of Tejas declared their independence, driven by a mix of frontier spirit and defiance against Mexico's distant authority.
