Veniceball-Sloveniaball Border Skirmishes

The Veniceball-Sloveniaball Border Skirmishes were a series of border skirmishes between Veniceball and Sloveniaball starting on the 3rd February 1970 and ending on the 6th February 1972.

This series of clashes also spilled over to Austriaball's clay. Italyball supported Sloveniaball and bombed Veniceball, but didn't officially declare war. Russiaball was accused of supplying Veniceball, as Sloveniaball had captured Russian weapons and equipment that would have been only available for Russiaball's army from Veniceball's troops. Russiaball denied these claims.

Events leading up to the Border Skirmishes
When the Venetian Free Trade Zoneball was proclaimed, he occupied alot of Sloveniaball's clay. This angered Sloveniaball and negotiations went nowhere. Veniceball sent his mercenary army deeper into Sloveniaball's clay expecting little to no enemy soldiers. Of course, the Venetian army, while doing some questionable acts which may or may not have broken the Geneva convention, caught the attention of a UNball garrison stationed in one town. It is disputed who fired the first shot, but it is agreed on that this was where the first border skirmish started.
