Conquest of Aritonesia

The , also known as the Scramble of Arito Islands and the Colonisation of the Arito Islands, was the invasion, occupation, division and the colonisation of territory in the Arito Islands (now the El Kadsreian Islands) by the European powers between 1859 and 1884. In 1855, less than 5% of the Arito Islands was under European control while by 1885 it had greatly increased to 85% of the archipelgo, with the Vicnoran Kingdom and New Japan remaining independent. New Japan was formerly a Tokugawan colony.

New Japan and Vicnora signed the treaty with the European powers in Tugaganda in 1872, promising they won’t colonise these territories and instead give them trade. However, New Japan transferred the island of Kowokam to Portugal, turning the province into the colony.
