Niska Straits Crisis

Military: Battle

The Niska Straits were a flashpoint - and when Weltkria declared a "quarantine" in the general area, it backfired. Hard.

A vote to declare war failed in the Ardenian Senate by one vote, and emotions were only tempered by the mention of nuclear weapons. Despite this, authorization was sent to the right people... and, two days later, Task Force 52.1, operating on orders from CRYSTAL STARLIGHT, executed an operation to open the straits...
  Multiple Weltkrian ships would be sunk. It was a overwhelming Ardenian victory - and, luckily for the world, it stopped there.
  In secret, Prime Minister Radcliffe ordered the entire R&D budget of Ardenia to go towards destroying nuclear missiles..
