The Kingdom of Lech is thought to have been founded in February 2019 by [[King Maximilian I]], with [[Cracov]] as its capital. The Kingdom officially became a sovereign state on April 12, 2019, under a constitutional monarchy with King Maximilian I as the head of state; he was subsequently crowned on April 15, 2019 at 6:30pm in [[St Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church]], Cracov. Lech's European influences were evident from its inception, such as the strong Catholic prescence and Germanic architecture.

Lech's expansion first began on June 15, 2019, when the Kingdom discovered and colonised an island north of Cracov, naming it [[Kielce]] and declaring it an official province. On July 27 2019, the Kingdom of Lech and Vindex Nation overthrow the [[Wilden|Sovereignty of Wilden's]] government, and place [[King John Wellington I]] on the throne of Wilden. Further expansion occured on July 30, 2019 when King Maximilian I purchased land in Southern Wilden from King John Wellington I of Wilden, naming the colony [[Maximiliansburg]]. By August, foundations are placed for a city in Northern Lech, now known as Kingsland. After a period of political turmoil, King Maximilian I dismissed Chancellor [[Percy Fairweather]] on September 6, 2019 on the grounds of high treason. On the same day, King Maximilian I abdicates the throne to become the [[Pope|Pope of the Vatican City and the Catholic Church]]. King Edward I succeeded King Maximilian I as the King of Lech.

On December 29th, Chancellor Vittorio Guillaume and Grand Prince William Winters of Aquitaine engaged in a legal battle over the Grand Prince's properties in Newport. The court case resulted in a victory on the side of the government, marking the first successful Eminent Domain trial and one of the first court cases to happen in many years. The next day on December 30th, Emperor Edward I released the New Years Proclaimation, formally disolving the Confderation of Vierländer and reestablishing the colonies as viceregal states. Shortly after this, Grand Prince William Winters announced his abdication.

Meanwhile, tensions between Lech and Vindex were growing. Vindex HMX-1 marines were reportedly seen blockading the Lech Embassy in Downtown. After many days of harrassment, at the order of the Emperor, a taskforce was sent into Vindex to capture the President of Vindex. President Kyle Houston was successfully abducted and taken to the former LSS headquarters where, while being interrogated, a small battle broke out on the surface. Vindex and Lech forces fought to retain control of the building. Eventually Lech forces caved and President Houston was returned to Vindex. The next day, January 9th, war was officially declared. Over the course of twelve hours, three skirmishes were fought. In the final hours, Chancellor Vittorio Guillaume was ousted for being paid by the VIA to begin this war. He was promptly executed with his ~~Chinese~~ cousin, Lee Guillaume, inheriting his titles. Carlo Gambino Anschen was then elected to the chancellery on January 10th.
