The Pastry War (Baliscano: Guerra de Pastisceri), was a year long conflict that pit the largest Baliscan republics—Bayara and Hesperia—against each other, and threatened to split the fledgling Southern Confederation. The war followed longstanding intercommunal tensions between predominately Catalan-speaking Cathars and Aragonese-speaking Catholics in the Estuarian wetlands, and disputes regarding the extent of confederal power. Conflict boiled over following the murder of an Catalan pastry chef in Xàbia by a Catholic mob, resulting in escalating reprisals and counter-reprisals which eventually culminated in confederal intervention.
It was ultimately ended by the Treaty of Navassa.
The Treaty was largely viewed as illegitimate by Bayarans (who denounced it as unacceptably favorable to the Catalans) and Estuarians (who were frustrated by it's failure to secure their rights) alike, and became increasingly hard to enforce. Further conflict was initially avoided with the establishment of the Cerdanyan Legion which administered the Estuarian territories. The Legion was withdrawn in 1826, and the Confederation ultimately descended into civil war and collapsed in 1828 following Bayara's renunciation of the Article of Confederation.
