Californian Independence War (When the world stopped making sense)

Buildup:
The Mexican Empire was in a fragile state with a horrid economic status in the World. The Mexican Emperor had to salvage the Country and he chose heart of the Mexico. After 2 decades the Alta Californian Governor Pío Pico declared Independence, it was originally for better treatment but it escalated to a full fledged independence movement.

War:
At the start of the War the Mexican forces were almost 20.000 troops more, but the Mexican Emperor allowed his 17 Year old son to handled 50.000 and the Californian forces were 20.000 and lead by General John Charles Frémont. The battle was easy, the first flank casualties were big enough to make Narcissus back down, but the Crown Prince couldn’t lose so he fought until it was him and 6 other men which tried to flee but the stories say the General Frémont picked up a rifle and shot the Prince from a mile away. After a few minor battles the Mexican Emperor surrendered.

Conclusion:
Many Mexican states wanted to join California but since they didn’t rise up they weren’t allowed. After 2 weeks of negotiations General Frémont and the Mexican Emperor signed a peace deal. Calian casualties were 20.090 while the Mexicans lost 50.600 men.
