When you think about history, you would probably think about things like ancient China, or more recent things, like the Video Game Crash of 1983. But what your history teachers probably don’t know is the crazy history of Kingdomia. Today, that’s what we’re gonna discuss. So, without further ado, let’s get right into it.
In 1638, some of our ascendants sailed across the Pacific Ocean and found an archipelago to live on. I guess they wanted to get a land just for themselves, independent from other people.
After founding their own kingdoms like the Mushroom Kingdom and Jungle Kingdom, they named the place Kingdomia. From 1638 all the way to 1889, Kingdomia was in the Peaceful Start Era. But a turtle named Jamie Koopa was about to change the game.
On September 5, 1889, he founded the Koopa Kingdom. King Jamie’s ally, Penguin Kingdom (ruled by King Damian Armstrong at that time), wanted to attack Princess Julia Toadstool’s Mushroom Kingdom. Obviously, this was not peaceful. So, the battle started the War Era, which lasted from 1889 to 1998.
In 1936, Andy Koopa became the king of the Koopa Kingdom, while Stella Toadstool became princess of the Mushroom Kingdom. The two leaders fought in the famous Nineteen Mini-Wars from 1936 to 1979. But something happened in the middle of fighting that continued even after the two kingdoms became allies.
On August 4, 1966, Princess Sarasa Markson stole half of the Mushroom Kingdom’s territory, founding the Kingdom of Sarasaland. Princess Stella was angry. And her 5,000 soldiers were not enough for Sarasaland. As you may know, the Markson family’s specialty was fighting and self-defense. Then, in 1984, Daisy Markson and Peach Toadstool became the princesses of Sarasaland and the Mushroom Kingdom, respectively. And Princess Peach played a crucial role in helping the Mushroom Kingdom become powerful.
In 1979, Bowser Koopa became the king of the Koopa Kingdom. He really LOVED Princess Peach. So, in 1984, he stole a Master Power Star from his former ally, the Penguin Kingdom. However, in the end, Luigi and I stole the star from him. 1984 was also the year that Bowser released his hit song, Peaches. Eventually, however, Bowser surrendered and joined the Jungle Kingdom and Mushroom Kingdom’s plan to conquer Sarasaland!
But while the war was going on, King Sonic Prower and Tails Prower founded a new kingdom west of Green Bay, Green Hill. The kingdom’s specialty was (and still is) speed. Knuckles Prower even initiated the Green Hill Speed Tourney on August 4, 1987. The kingdom was on the rise and in peace.
Back to the Sarasaland war. Daisy Markson Jr. and Clyde Koopa (King Bowser’s cousin) were the scientist-engineers. They made weapons and tools for their respective kingdoms. However, at midnight on December 6, 1995, Clyde snuck into Daisy Jr.’s lab and stole all of her tools and weapons. While the Sarasalanders looked like they would win at that time, this was the start of their collapse.
As the Marksons lost control of Sarasaland in late 1995 and early 1996, in a last-ditch effort to keep their kingdom alive, they hired professional soldiers to train their own and even fight with them. However, most of them left in favor of the Mushroom Kingdom. In fact, more than 5,000 soldiers left on the first day alone, and they were all FORCED to join at first! And so, in March 1996, Sarasaland was conquered by the Mushroom Kingdom. What happened next isn’t covered here, but I did talk about it in a previous blog post.
However, while the fall of Sarasaland happened, a new kingdom was only on the rise. King Dedede Simmons and Prince Kirby Andrews founded the Kingdom of Green Greens in 1994. They founded it by terraforming the rest of the Green Bay, making the kingdom the eastern boundary of Green Hill.
Though initially ruling humbly, King Dedede and Prince Kirby grew jealous of the other, more established kingdoms, like Princess Peach’s Mushroom Kingdom, King Sonic’s Green Hill, and King Cranky’s Jungle Kingdom. So, on August 9, 1998, Greenian residents departed for Green Hill, initiating the Green War. If you want to learn about it, though, please check out my previous blog post.
When the war ended, we were in peace. And this marked the start of the Peaceful Kingdoms Era. Kapp’n of Nooktopia was happily sailing on the Pacific, knowing that nothing could ever happen. Well, until he found a small republic. And it was the opposite of what Kingdomia likes.
Odyssey Land was discovered in 1980, with several towns, like New Funk City, Tostarena, and Bubblaine. And the Anthony family had a political dynasty there, meaning that several family members were leaders there. And unless it’s a kingdom, we at Kingdomia don’t like political dynasties. However, conquering the land in 1999 was a piece of cake. Odyssey Land didn’t have experience with war yet, and they had two options: fight to the best of their ability (which was very bad), or hit the panic button. They chose the latter. We later gave the land to my friend Crash Bandicoot.
With all these kingdoms and fighters, Kingdomia is now one of the most powerful forces in the world, and even countries that want more territory refuse to attack the land. But who knows? When new kingdoms rise and become powerful forces, maybe War Era 2 will begin.
That’s all for now. Bye!
