Etymology of Mavaria
Etymology
The name Mavaria appears on three rune-stones. Two were found in the Danubian province of Umbria and have the inscription Mavarlonti. The third was found in Mavaria, in the Salamantic sea. It has the inscription Mavarien and dates from the 13th century.
History of Mavaria
Prehistoric era
It is speculated that Mavarians came to AO, on the Danubian peninsula(Savski Venac) in 291 BC.
It is known that Mavars arent native to these lands and since Old Mavar resembled some Finno-Ugric languages and today Mavar is closely related to the Finnish language, but it is unknown under what circumbstances they came.
It is known that Mavars were great warriors and often waged wars between their tribes.It cant be said for shure when did Mavars form their first united country but it can be said that it was founded around the year of 270. BC when Stogothrix finally united all the Mavaric tribes. The first documented history about the Danube region, where Savski Venac is situated, is dated to around the year of 270. BC.
The most famous script written around that time was the Sindidun relic.A runic text written on a stone on Mavaric wich tells the story about Stogothrix,the great king of Mavars that conquered the whole Danube peninsula. There are also scripts telling about the migration of Celts that inhabit Warkus. Most important cities of that period were Sindidunum(today Belgrade), Naisus(today Niš), Balbadum(today Slavengrad), Dubhlinn (today Dublin) in which were found many runestone artefacts such as The Dublin runestone, the Sindidun relic and many other.
During the time of the great migrations in Europe,the demographics of the Danubian peninsula were also changing.In the year of 355.AD the Danubian Cossack tribes arrived at the peninsula. They spoke a mix of acient slavic and Cossack. It is also unknown unther what circumbstances did the Slavic tribe arrived so far away from other Slavs.
Under great pressure from the hordes that were comming from the east and landed on the shores of the Danubian peninsula, the Mavar Empire was under grave threat.But even the great Mavar army, that was assembled due to the communig of Danubians, couldnt fight an enemy that had much more men than they could gather.The Danubian cosssacks succsessfully conquered the eastern parts of the Danubian peninsula. After The Mavars were slowly pushed to the west after loosing many battles including the one for Sindidun. The greatest battle of the Mavarian-Danubian war was the battle at Donavalata (today Ub) , both sides suffered great losses but it was a defeat of the Mavar Empire, since the fall of Donavalata, Mavar armies started to retreat slowly under the pressure from the Danubians.
By the year of 610 the Mavarian Empire lost its territories on the Danubian peninsula. Mavars that stayed in the Danube region were living under Danubian rule.
Many were Danubianized, those that rejected Danubianization formed a shortld lived nation called Umbria. Umbria was conquered in 611. AD.
Mavaria tried to reconquer its former territories but it couldnt.
The expansion of the Serbian Empire came also to the island north of Danubia, the island that was the only territory of the Mavarian Empire. The Mavarian Empire surrvived most attacks from the Serbian Empire, and unlike the Danubian Kingdom that lost some of its territories, Mavaria succesfully repelled all attacks on its soil.
1601. Mavaria was attacked by The Kingdom of England that has already attacked the Danubian Cossacks. Mavaria was conquered in 1613. and became a colony later known as the Dominion of the Kingdom of Great Britain.
Mavaria has since lost its independence.
Mavarian language was under pressure, the asimilation of the Mmavars started.
Some were asimilated while other refused. There was also religious asimilation since Mavars were Orthodox. Because of the great opression from the British Mavars started an uprising in 1678. but it ended just six months later in a bloodshed. The British troops ruthlessly killed 6000 men that surrendered and 5000 men,women and children as a warning.
Mavarians started another rebellion in 1758. during that rebellion they formed a small unrecoqnised state that lasted for nine years. The rebellion ended in 1767. and as a "punishment" the British killed more than 6000 random men,women and children. The Mavarian nationalists decided that they should wait a bit longer untill they gather enough equipment and men for another rebellion.
During the British rule, Mavars didnt have any pollitical rights and all of the men that were on politicall functions that regarded Mavaria were British.
In 1849. , inspired by the Eurpean spring the Mavars decided that it was the right time to rebel against the British government. One of the most prominent figures in that rebellion was Veiko Katainen. The rebellion ended after two weeks when the British government offered negonations. They had an agreement to which Mavaria will become an autonomus province of the British Empire and got its own parliament.
In 2013 Mavaria declared independence that was followed with the British recoqnition of Mavaria as an independent nation.
