Siwi occupation of Encarnaçao

The Occupation of Encarnação was a period of military occupation and colonial rule over the islands of Encarnação, São Tomé, Coração and Ilha Bárbara by the nation of SiWallqanqa shortly after the QRN Willkapampa Incident. The island was seized by SiWallqanqa with little bloodshed shortly after the independence of the nation, which was too weak to properly resist the act of aggression. The act is generally agreed to have been a show of force towards Cervera, which SiWallqanqa would invade after a coup a year after.

The occupation continued for 8 years, in which period the nation was declared to be a dependency of SiWallqanqa. However, the occupation eventually ended, as the dependency was deemed to be too unprofitable in the long run and its purpose as a show of force had already ran its course with the end of the war in Cervera. In 1923 an agreement was reached with local representatives in São Vicente to restore the independence of the island in exchange of a large payment to be made to SiWallqanqa for the following 10 years.
