Welcome to 1326!
The Holy Roman Empire was having a crisis with two Emperors claiming the Throne. Pope John XXII excommunicates Germany's King Louis IV and then calls for war against him. Believing that a large part of Germany is Polish territory, Poland agrees to invade. Papal legates force the angry Teutonic Knights not to intervene, and then pagan Lithuania joins for the chance to collect loot. Marching into Germany with little resistance, the two nations spend a month looting and burning. They destroy churches and monasteries, take about 6,000 Germans as slaves, and carry off a huge amount of loot. Although a military success, it is a political failure, as western Europe unites against the Pope, Poland, and Lithuania.
The Treaty of Nóvgorod creates a buffer zone between Norway and Nóvgorod (now part of Russia) that last more than five centuries.
In Mexico (which actually exists), Indians begin hauling mud out of their lake and dumping it on barren parts of their island, thus creating more farmland.
