Gjorkan–Ajak War, also known as the Ajaki Invasion of Gjorka, was a conflict fought between Ajakanistan and Gjorka from 1754 to 1761. In 1754, Ajaki King issued a declaration declaring all Khoroshiyans as subjects of the Ajaki Kingdom and immediately claiming all lands inhabited by them as territories of Ajakanistan, with the majority of this land being located along the Ajaki–Gjorkan Border. Ajakanistan began an invasion into southwestern Gjorka (modern-day Rosemont), claiming the entirety of the region as ancestral Khoroshiyan territory.
The initial Ajaki invasion in 1754 captured much of southwestern Gjorka but failed to reach its intended goal of Baltimore. The Gjorkan army made slow advances against the Ajaki army over the next two years of the war, with much of Rosemont still being under Ajaki control by 1757. Gjorkan general Marcus Hayes began an invasion of Ajakanistan to remove pressure off the Gjorkan reconquest. The invasion was a complete failure, with 60% of the Gjorkan invasion force being killed and all Gjorkan forces being withdrawn by 1758. In late summer of 1760, new Gjorkan general George Griffith led an offensive to reclaim Rosemont, joining forces with settler militias who had been organizing resistance in Ajaki-controlled territories. The offensive was a success and on February 15, 1761, the largest Ajaki army surrendered, bringing the war to an end.
The Gjorkan and Ajaki government signed the Treaty of Baltimore, where the Ajaki government relinquished all claims to Gjorkan territory and declared a status quo antebellum. The war resulted mass killings and organized deportations of Southern Khoroshiyans, resulting in a 90% loss of the Khoroshiyan population in Rosemont by 1770. Gjorka was left bankrupted by the war and resulting tax increases significantly increased tensions between the royal government and the wealthy merchant class, eventually resulting in the First Gjorkan Civil War.
