But in the year 1630 the Republic of Marcania started to build a strong and modernized navy to hold of attacks from the seas. But when the Nationalistic and Patriotic Joffrey Dunant was elected as the President of Marcania in the year 1649, he pledged to the nation that the Lutanian dominance over the Seas was to be ended in a war, and eventually in 4th of April 1650 the Marcanians declared war againgst The Lutanian Empire.
