History

Formation

The Matachewanian Armed Forces was founded on 30 June 2020 as an armed wing of the original government of Matachewan. The Matachewanian Armed Forces in its early years never actually supported any units and was temporarily replaced during the Matachewanian Civil War by a Peoples Militia comprised of student volunteers.

Eventually after the Matachewanian Civil War when Matachewan fell into complete inactivity the armed forces was not seen again until 3 August 2018.

Modern Matachewan 2018 - Present

The Matachewanian Armed Forces was restored on 3 August 2018 under the revived national independence of Matachewan. It originally held many globalist ideals and even took place in fictional wars however, since May 2019 the Matachewanian Armed Forces has moved away from global military activities and only works locally within Matachewan's territorial claims and colonies.

Matachewanian Armed Neutrality

After the whole fiasco in 2018 involving online micronational conflicts and a fictional online war, the Matachewanian government decided to move towards neutrality, however this did not last long due to growing instability inside Matachewan and the eventual occupation that followed suit.

Matachewanian Independence Uprising

On 23 March 2019 after 2 months of Gropenigen occupation the Matachewanian government united and formed the short lived 4th Kingdom of Matachewan, complete with a territorial militia. Eventually due to the rearmament of Matachewan, Brandon Mierzwa and Peter Warren were taken to court and exiled from Gropenigen and were forced to dissolve Matachewan. Eventually after a week of constant fighting back and forth in court and discord DMs the Matachewanian official decided that they would just go off and create Matachewan since Gropenigen couldn't do anything due to them being located in Sweden. Once Matachewan was revived the militia was replaced by a formal volunteer army and the Matachewanian Armed Forces was officially restored.
