The History of the Belkan Territory - Timelapse from 1987 to 2010 - Episode #10 - Stuff About AC

This timelapse shows how Osean and Yuktobanian (+ others) oppressors have taken the rightful Belkan clay throughout time. It is our duty to make Belka great again by reconquering the southern lands now in possession of our natural enemy.

I made this timelapse by using screenshots from Ace Combat Zero's cutscenes and redrawing the borders in the higher quality version of the official Strangereal world map. What you see in this video may not be 100% exact due to ACZ's original resolution but I've done my best in redrawing the borders to their original location and shape as displayed on the cutscenes.

It is interesting to note how the country of Ratio took over about half of Ustio's territory on December of 1991, I wonder why is that...

You know what's better than building a wall? Radioactive Border.

Belka: We accidentally put ourselves into a financial crisis because of our fear of you guys, please help us!

Osea: Best I can do is taking 50% of your clay

The history of Belka is more or less a scenario showcasing what might have happened if Germany and Europe as a whole didn't move on after WW2. With all the mutual hatred still being prominent a resistance movement against Allied occupation would be more than likely.

Belka: I decided I'd like my land back pls

Allied Forces: PISS OFF NO TRADEBACKS

We need a game where we play as Belka. It needs to happen. We NEED to restore their pride! <<It's time>>

[japex]

I cannot stand to watch as poor Belka is being chopped to pieces and begins to wither away... T^T

i somehow feel sad about Belka, caught in economy crisis, selling territories to revamp the economy yet the economy still not improved, starting a war that they lost eventually, stopping the allied invasion by nuking their own borders seven times, not to mention they lost the south belka by the disarmament that done by the former southern belkans, their own citizen. I felt some sympaythy for belka and also the music is so just matched with the timeline video

this video made me experience feelings i've never felt before

What I love is the cutscene in Ace Combat 5 in which at the airbase in North Osea that ground crew and staff at the airport still considered themselves "South Belkans." Which was the entire catalyses for the war in Ace Combat 5 itself. Belkans in the background pitting Osea and Yuktobania against each other so they could unite North and South Belka while they're too weak to do anything about it. It reminds me of why WWII started. Mostly over the Danzig Corridor between Brandenburg and Prussia. Heck even the famous Erwin Rommel went to the Danzig Military Academy. Ironically, and not told by most historians when talking about WWII and why it started. Between the World Wars, Danzig considered itself an independent City State, and is visible on some maps from countries which recognized it, of course Poland didn't Recognize it, but treated it similar to how China Treat's Taiwan and Hong Kong Today.

I feel bad for the Belkans...such determination and bravado, but lost due to lesser numbers...

Losing all of their territory...poor Belka.

You know, after the Belkan War ended officially, I wonder what became of Belka's economic crisis. Did it really subside, at the sacrifice of the majority of it's southern-eastern territories? What happened to the people at "Holy Land" (read:North-Central) Belka? By the time the Circum-Pacific War occurred, what did Dinsmark do? Man, I wish that Belka at least saw a bittersweet fate, if not redeemed a happy one.

I love the effort Project Aces put into this world.

Poor Belka, suffered the economic crisis, lost at war, spend all the money to restore the superiority but it throwed away in the dust, and most importantly, LOST THE ALL TERITORIES, LOST THE ALMOST CITIZEN LIFE, AND LOST THEIR PRIDE, i hope they can restored their superiority :(

Namco please next AC games protagonist would be the countryman like BELKA, or even YUKTOBANIA, its not CALL OF DUTY where the allied force is always right, because THERE IS NO MERCY IN WAR :)

[SlyAceZeta]

We know for a fact that Osea helped push Ustio for independence in a bid for Osea to gather the natural resources in that region before Belka could. I like to imagine that the citizens of Ustio had no idea on how to actually run a country by themselves, so when they had so much land they didn't know what to do with, they sold half of it to Ratio. I don't think Ratio would have taken that land by force or anything. Unfortunately, there's no clear evidence surrounding the Ustio-Ratio border, so that will probably just be based on theories for forever.

15 years ago, there was a war.
Well...war's broken out here plenty of times before. They've tried to invade the southlands through the northern valley time and time again. Luck was never on their side, though, and their victories didn't last long.
They didn't realize that times had changed.
Facing one defeat after another, losing territory and watching their nation dwindle, they built up their industrial strength to unprecedented heights and used it to wage one final battle against the world.
That was 15 years ago...
They fought ferociously, but were utterly defeated. The Belkans then committed the unthinkable-- they used nuclear weapons on their own soil. Seeing this tragedy unfold before thier own eyes, the victorious countries vowed to throw down their weapons.
The world was once again at peace. And, thanks to them, it seemed it would last forever.
On a distal island, far away from civilization, the protectors of the peace take to the skies.

This makes me cry every time #belkadidnothingwrong

I like how you played the war 15 years ago on a video about the war 15 years ago
