1807 was the first day a factory was issued to be constructed in Xelbia. This factory was used to make textiles and civilian goods, but many more were constructed for the following decades to make the Xelbian Economy robust and extremely powerful.
Xelbia was the world factory by 1840, and easily took over the global market for Textiles, Wood, Steel, Copper, Gold, Silver and Platinum. They were an unchallenged sleeping juggernaut that no one dared to awaken.
However, their immense size and population created some unforseen issues. Their population reached 118.2 Million people and now was on the course for world superpower status.
The newest World Superpowers of Duscany and Esplanade were on a collision course. The Esplanade Empire was now the world's strongest Empire, and Xelbia had plans to halt their expansion.
Duscany and Xelbia were very good partners. The King of Duscany shared great remarks about the Xelbians, and so did Xelbia to Duscany. Both nations shared common goals, interests and ethnicities. It was to no surprise they would get along well.
The Esplanade Empire knew that in order to make Duscany feel weakened, they'd have to invade Xelbia to try and halt their growth, or at least attempt to. They readied 3.5 Million total soldiers, unknowing to them at what animal they're provoking.
Duscany readied 2.87 Million, knowing what was to come. They warned Xelbia of a possible war coming in the 1850's, but they ignored it. They couldn't fight a major war due to a lack of supply logistics.
