Liberation of Slaver's Bay



The Liberation of Slaver's Bay was an armed conflict in the region of Essos known as Slaver's Bay that consisted of three phases. The first was a tandem invasion of Astapor and Yunkai, the regions two weaker city-states, that began on 20 March 1998. On 14 April 1998, the two forces joined in order to take the final stronghold of Meereen. This was followed by a longer phase of fighting in which an insurgency emerged to oppose the occupying Westerosi forces. Roughly 96.5 percent of the casualties suffered by the Westeros-led coalition were suffered during the second phase rather than the initial invasion. Westeros completed it's withdrawal of military personnel in December 2006, during the ninth year of the war.

The intention of the invasion and ensuing conflict was to put an end to the region's well-known slave trade from which it gets its name. While many slaves were forced to fight and die for their masters against their intended liberators, the operation was considered a success after the final standing masters surrendered on 9 December 2006, in the ninth year of the war, and the Westerosi military withdrew.

A small peacekeeping force remains in the region to ensure that the masters do not attempt to regain control.
