Army of Club Penguin/Nachos war
Background
Firstly, Nachos and the Army of Club Penguin had a rivalry that dated back several years as two of the oldest armies. The conflict between the two began with Nachos’ assistance of the Underground Mafias Army in World War III. However, the year ended with the two as allies after a series of wars against one another. Over the next several years, the trend continued with the two established as occasional allies By 2012, relations soured as Nachos declared war on the Clover Defenders. Consequently, Nachos raided ACP’s server, Mammoth in their first act of war. This raid marked the official start of the war.
The Nachos wasted no time raiding Mammoth again after a merger with Watex Warriors boosted their sizes. Next, Nachos defeated ACP on Snow Fort after the latter surrendered the server. Afterwards, they claimed another victory on Fjord as they defended their territory. Moving on, ACP acquired their first win in a battle for Christmas, and then another on White House even as both armies claimed victory. The day concluded with a battle with no clear winner on Abominable.

The war continued throughout the week as several more battles took place. In the first battle of the week, Nachos and ACP fought on Fjord to an indecisive result. Next, the battle of Marshmallow concluded without an official victor. Lastly, Nachos secured a win against the Clovers in another battle for White House.

Conclusion of War
Unlike the last battle, ACP took Blizzard from Nachos in a change of fortune. The next battle had no obvious victor as both armies claimed victory in the battle of Bobsled. Next, Nachos successfully acquired Crunch from the Clovers. Finally, the battles of Grizzly and Snow Fort ended with no official winner. As neither army had a clear advantage, the war ended in a draw after several more battles occurred. With the war over, ACP returned White House to the Nachos as Nachos gave Flippers and North Pole back in return. Despite the war’s end, the rivalry between the two continued until Nachos shut down with Club Penguin. However, many other wars occurred throughout army history in January. One of these is the war between the Ice Warriors and the Rebel Penguin Federation.

Declaration of War And the First Few Battles
After tensions escalated between IW and RPF, IW declared war on RPF to settle the score. Given their previous raids of RPF events, a declaration was only a matter of time. Firstly, IW and Nachos raided RPF’s event during a planned practice battle between the two. After the raid, the first official battle took place on Abominable where RPF no-showed as a way to sabotage the army’s Top Ten placement. However, many more battles would took place after this.

January 28, 2014
On this day, IW continued their winning streak against the Rebels. In the first legitimate battle of the war, IW defeated RPF on Arctic. Following this, they successfully invaded Ice Cream with a size advantage of 10 penguins. RPF fought back but were unable to win their invasion of Snowcap against IW with near-equal sizes. After their victory on Snowcap, IW defeated RPF on Matterhorn as the latter dropped in size. In the final battle of this hectic day, the two armies fought for Outback, with no obvious victor. The war would continue through to the next month.

Continuation and Conclusion of War
As the war continued, IW scheduled invasions on many of RPF’s servers. In the first battle of their invasions, IW claimed victory thanks to an RPF no-show on South Pole. Next, IW and RPF claimed victory in a battle for Arctic. After this disputed victory, IW continued their success with their US division. Despite these claimed victories, these battles had no official results and no clear victor. In response to IW’s victories, RPF scheduled invasions on 28 of IW’s servers. However, the war ended before their plan was enacted.
After a week of fighting, IW and RPF agreed to end the war after IW surpassed the Rebels in the Top Ten. A war between Nachos and RPF provided one explanation for why the war ended abruptly. Additionally, the drop in RPF’s sizes gave IW a higher chance of coming out on top if the war continued. With the war’s end, there was no official winner as both armies agreed to consider the war a draw. As such, all servers were returned to the previous owners. Despite the draw, IW considered the war score to be 22-4 in favor of the Warriors.

Conclusion
The two wars displayed how different relations between the parties involved were. Nachos and ACP acted as historical enemies that were occasionally allies in more peaceful times. Comparatively, RPF and IW established themselves as powerful allies in the Club Penguin Private Server era with the creation of the Black Ice Alliance. Regardless of their relations, all four armies left an undeniable impact on the community throughout the years. What do YOU think of these two wars? Do YOU miss Nachos as a major force in the community? Do YOU agree with these wars’ outcomes?
