Outbreak of the war
On 15 July, Spain launched its military campaign by attacking and capturing Dakar after Senegal declined Spain’s request to lease its regions and strategic resources. The purpose of this proposal was to secure a logistical corridor to the strategic resources located in Mali and The Gambia, which, when combined with Dakar’s resources, would have enabled Spain to establish a new and significant source of income for the BEER Bloc.
Following Senegal’s refusal, Spain opted to pursue its objectives through military action, marking the beginning of the conflict.
West African Resistance and Blockade
From 16 July onward, Spain became effectively confined to Dakar, marking the beginning of the First Dakar Front, a campaign that required a substantial financial commitment.
Thanks to the coordinated efforts of Morocco, Senegal, Guinea-Bissau, and Mauritania, a regional blockade was established, successfully preventing Spain from expanding beyond Dakar for several weeks.
Through a series of counteroffensives, the regional African coalition managed to halt Spain’s advance. Although Spain succeeded in capturing Central Senegal on one occasion, it was never able to break through to The Gambia or Mali, preventing it from achieving its primary strategic objective of securing the region’s strategic resources.
First Diplomatic Talks – 20 July - 23 July
On 20 July, the first formal peace negotiations began in Morocco. During these discussions, Spain came close to reaching a peace agreement centered on an economic arrangement that would have granted it access to the region’s Strategic Resources (SRs). Spanish representatives argued that such an agreement could provide mutual economic benefits and create a more stable outcome for both sides.
The African coalition, however, maintained that none of its members were willing to grant the BEER Bloc additional economic power, citing concerns that such an arrangement could significantly strengthen the bloc’s strategic position in future conflicts.
Throughout the negotiations, several peace proposals were presented to Spain. According to the discussions, these proposals were ultimately rejected by the Spanish Parliament. Among the reasons cited by Spanish officials was that paying war reparations for a conflict initiated by Spain would be politically unacceptable and contrary to national pride.
As diplomatic efforts continued, a final and even more favorable proposal for Spain was presented on 24 July, just moments before military operations resumed. Unlike the earlier proposal, which required 3,000 in war compensation, the revised offer significantly reduced Spain’s financial obligations.
Final Proposal – 24 July (before the resumption of hostilities):
“I will propose the last deal: only 850 per week for three weeks, starting today, in exchange for Dakar; a one-month Non-Aggression Pact (NAP) beginning today; and the publication of Spain’s public article as agreed.”
Resumption of the War – 24 July
On 24 July, following the collapse of the peace negotiations, hostilities resumed. Guinea-Bissau launched an assault on Dakar in an attempt to recapture the city but was ultimately unsuccessful.
As the conflict escalated once again, additional containment operations were launched by the African coalition with the objective of slowing Spain’s advance and preventing it from reaching its strategic objectives.
After being contained around Dakar for more than a week, Spain managed to capture Central Senegal on 26 July, marking its first significant territorial advance since the beginning of the blockade.
However, these gains proved to be short-lived. On 27 July, Spain lost all of the territories it had captured around Dakar, and on 28 July, it also lost Cape Verde.
As of today, Spain has not only lost all of its territorial gains in mainland Africa but has also lost control of Cape Verde, effectively reversing the progress achieved during the campaign.

Final Conclusions
It would be inaccurate to claim that this war did not come at a significant cost for every nation involved. All participants suffered considerable financial losses throughout the conflict. However, the greatest strategic and economic setback ultimately fell upon Spain.
At the beginning of the war, Spain possessed approximately 42,000 coins. By the end of the campaign, its reserves had fallen to around 10,000 coins. In addition, Spain’s Productivity Bonus declined from 20%—ranking 4th in the game—to 10%, leaving it in 23rd place.
The Spanish people may wish to reflect on whether this was the outcome they expected from their government and parliament. Not every objective can be achieved through military force; in many cases, diplomacy proves to be the more effective and less costly path.
Throughout the negotiations, the African coalition consistently encouraged Spain to withdraw from Africa and return occupied territories to their original owners. From the outset, we made it clear that our objective was not to eliminate Spain’s presence in the region but rather to reach a fair and lasting settlement.
The coalition initially requested a largely symbolic war compensation of 1,000 coins per participating country, for a total of 3,000 coins. In an effort to make peace possible, we even proposed alternative arrangements, including leasing agreements that would have granted Spain access to strategic resources without the need for continued warfare.
Despite these concessions, every proposal was rejected. Throughout the diplomatic process, the African coalition maintained a constructive and flexible approach, while Spain’s responses were, in our view, consistently marked by confrontation and dismissal. In hindsight, the opportunities for an earlier and less costly peace settlement were available but ultimately went unrealized.
