==History==
During the second half of the 16th century, conquests of Gandhara led to a huge expansion of the Gandhari Empire. The Southern Commonwealth, a [[Wikipedia:Personal_union|personal union]] between Almarania and [[Polland]] which existed since 1428, saw the expansion as a serious threat. An attack of Almaranian soldiers on the southern provinces of Gandhara led to the Almaranian–Gandhari War (1594–1603). A second war was fought between 1615 and 1628, after which lands from Almarania were ceded to Gandhara.

In the late 18th century, the Southern Commonwealth fell apart and was partitioned between [[Jindalea]], [[St Olaf]], and [[Sunetti]]. During the [[Almaranian War of Liberation]], Gandhara became involved in the war after the Ganjah Governorate was occupied by Almaranian forces. The decisive Almaranian victory led to the cession of the Ganjah Governorate to the newly formed Almaranian state as the State of Mavrija.

Relations between Almarania and Gandhara remained tense during the 20th century. Numerous peace talks took place between delegations of both governments, but there were also numerous clashes in Mavrija and surrounding areas. A breakthrough was found in 1984 with the Tihum Accords, in which the border between Almarania and Gandhara was officially demarcated, while both countries established diplomatic relations. Although the relationship was improved, it was described by many as a "[[Wikipedia:Cold_peace|cold peace]]".
