Manhattan Massacre

The Manhattan Massacre was a full-scale assault against the population of during the 2012 Invasion of America following the withdrawal of American military forces from the city following a full-scale invasion by the Honorable Union of Ixania and the Great Ixanian Empire. With American citizens completely defenseless as the bridges to the mainland were destroyed and all attempts to flee blocked by the Ixanian navy, the civilian population was at the total mercy of their Ixanian captors. Tazen Varsha Xo-Xevan ordered the punishment of the American people of New York City for crimes against the Ixanian god Xauti, for their debauched lifestyles, and their many crimes against Ixania.

This ultimately resulted in the massacre the claimed the lives of some close to two million people still in the city. Regarded as the deadliest attacked against the United States' civilian population, the massacre was condemned by nearly every nation in world, including many of the United States' enemies such as Iran and North Korea. The attack also signaled to many, as Ixania hoped for, that the United States was no longer capable of defending its own people, and that Ixania had effectively usurped the nation's position as the paramount global superpower. Since the massacre, any Americans left in the city were enslaved, and the city of New York renamed in the Ixanian language, Xiani, as Ni-Vok.
