Scotland and Ulster

The United Kingdom of Scotland and Ulster or in short Scotland and Ulster or UKSU is MrMapperIL's Secondary Nation. The Union between Scotland and Ulster was a Centuries-Long story of Conquest and War.

Evolution of Scotland
The UKSU was part of the UK, which was a Union between England and The Kingdom of Scotland and Ulster, which drives back to be the Scottish Empire, and Greater Scotland, but with Everything starting at the end of the Hundred Year's war.

In 1455, James II of Scotland attacked English Isle of Mann and Ireland. The aim was to Increase Scotland's Population. The attack succeded, and by 1458 James took the Isle of Mann, Antrim, Derry and Down. In 1461, and attack on Aileach was Staged, adding Donegal to the mix. Scotland was Peaceful for a period, and then came the Scotto-Kalmar war, starting in 1472. By 1474, however, the king died in battle, and the Monarchy was replaced by a Danish dynasty, in order to Incorporate Scotland in the Kalmar Union.

Another peaceful Era Started, and ended in 1483, when war started in Karelia, starting the first phase of the Era of dissolution in the Kalmar Union (1483-1492). The war ended in 1486, and the Swedes took over Finland, but in the Same year, Finns revolted in demand for Independence from Sweden. The king which was there in a failed trial to ease the pressure was killed by extremists. An event which started the Kingdom of Finland, ended Swedish rule over Finland, and Starrted the war of Swedish Succession, between a successor of the long-disappeared Swedish Dynasty and the King of Denmark. The Swedish won, and started the War of Norwegian Succession soon after. The war ended in 1492 with a Partition of Norway between the other three powers, and the Dissolution of the Kalmar Union.

The Scottish Stuarts were restored, and Scotland got Norwegian Iceland, Greenland and part of Norway itself. Scotland was named "Greater Scotland". After hearing about the Colonisation of India (or America, but it was discovered to be a different continent in 1500) Scotland started Colonising by itself, starting with Morocco in 1499- 1502, and Then continuing with the Medditerrean in a Process only ending in 1507. In 1512, the Scottish Empire started. In 1513-1516, Scotland fought England again, and Scotland conquered Durham and Louth. In 1522, However, Sweden Attacked Scotland in Demand for Norway, as they did with Denmark beforehand. Scotland gave its part of Norway to Sweden in 1524. Ten years later, in 1534, They attacked Irish Landowners resisting Reformation, and Scotland united Ulster in 1536. They did this again in 1549-1550, now teamed with England, a team that would come in Handy soon after. In 1553 The kingdom was Redeclared as the Kingdom of Scotland and Ulster.

In 1557, Scottish Morocco Was attacked by Spain. Months later, when the Scots managed to push them back a bit, England Declared war on Spain, causing France to Declare war on England, and then the Ottomans Declared war on Spain since they sank Ottoman ships trying to Pass Gibraltar. Portugal, in Personal Union with Spain, came to Spain's aid. By 1559, Spanish Naples was conquered, as well as the Balares (someone correct me pls). In 1562, the war ended, and the British League, A Personal Union between England, Scotland and their Protectorates, was declared.

Ulster became England's biggest Rival during the Colonisation Period, Ironically. Although Scotland is able to Colonise New Brunswick and Argentina, England and Spain enter a Decade of Trade Blocade in 1642-1652. The trade Blocade didn't ruin Scotland, however it weakened it a lot economically. Scotland had to sell Iceland in 1651 and Greenland in 1655 to Denmark.

Union with England and The Great Revolt
In 1707, as in OTL, Scotland and Ulster United with England. This United the Scottish Empire with the English Empire, and expanded Scottish Power in the World. The now-richer Scotland invests in welfare, in order to increase its power in the Union. However, the British didn't let them Be too strong, and Divided Scotland's power during the 1800 Acts of Union, by Making Ulster join Ireland.

In 1921, Britain lost Ireland, including a Large portion of Scottish Ireland. Scots were mad about it. After WWII, Scottish Soldiers disagreed to leave Europe if Scotland wouldn't be Independent. Britain disagreed, and even in Modern day, Scottish Minorities are Scaterred across western Europe, especially in Western Germany, the Low countries, and Northern France. Tensions between London and Glasgow Arose.

In 2015, A great Revolt for Independence started in Wales. Many scottish people from western Europe returned, and joined the rebellion, making Native Scots join it too. Scottish People stole Weapons from the Royal army and used them against English forces, however, they couldn't stop them from retaking Wales. England surrendered, and on December 16 and 17 respectively, the Kingdoms of Scotland and Ulster declared independence. Christmas day became the Union day of the two Kingdoms. Since then, with the exception of the great colonisation wave, the UKSU have been a relatively quiet nation.
