History
Colonial Era
Founding of Virginia
The first English charter in what would become Virginia was awarded to the London-Virginia Company in 1606. In 1609, a second charter was made, and expanded further on the claims and boundaries of the first charter. The London-Virginia was one of the two primary companies that England allowed to operate in America (the other being the Plymouth Company of New England).
The London-Virginia company administered the colony from 1606 until the company's dissolution in 1624. Mismanagement and financial loss were the primary reasons for the company's disbandment. However, wanting to keep the claims made James I of England placed the area under direct crown rule.
The boundaries between Spanish Florida and Virginia were unclear. It was only in 1700 that the borders were settled during the Spanish Succession Crisis.
First Anglo-Virginian War
Over abolishment of Slavery. Virginia loses.
Virginian War of Independence (2nd Anglo-Virginian War)
Coincides with the 1850s Dutch-Spanish War, and the Dutch war in Asia versus an Anglo-French alliance.
Tussenland recognizes Virginian independence so that they wouldn't support Britain during Anglo+French vs Dutch+Qing War.
Tussenland now only faces the Spanish on the west and New England to the east.
