The Treaty Of Novj Warsaw was a diplomatic treaty signed between Warsawia and White Bosnia on 20th of January 1204. This treaty is used as the cornerstone of the expansion and dual leadership of Iberia by the two powers and is regarded as one of if not the most important treaty Warsawa and White Bosnia have ever signed. Unlike the Treaty Of Paris which would go on to be challenged by Warsawia and the Treaty Of The Danube which would be refused by White Bosnia, the Treaty Of Novj Warsaw would be fully adopted, respected and ratified by both nations. The Treaty's main principle was the division of Iberia between Warsawia and White Bosnia, the division going from North East to South West along major river systems and mountains. This treaty would go on to evolve into a major piece in future territorial negotiations as it would be used by both nations to justify further expansion.

The Treaty Of Novj Warsaw wasn't only about land, but was also used to discuss the philosophy of further Iberian and European expansion. While the treaty isn't explicitly in favour of these views and only conveys territorial limits of Warsawia and White Bosnia, it was used to set in stone the 'North Sea Doctrine' of Warsawia and the 'Mediterranean Doctrine' of White Bosnia.

Al-Andalusian losses in Iberia
As Warsawia and White Bosnia grew territorially, Al-Andalus was on a downwards decline in terms of territory and military capabilities. This was a result of internal struggles as well as a new doctrine of full cooperation between the Iberian sister states. With no real counter or any allies to call upon, the century long domination of the Al-Andalusian state was beginning to fall. In order to form an era of peace and trust, Warsawia and White Bosnia agreed to divide Iberia between the two of them. Both nations did this as a result of neither wanting war with the other and a deep rooted commitment to peace by both nations.

After all this decline, the true fall of Al-Andalus came when the Battle of Belchite decisively defeated the forces of King Abdul of Al-Andalus, ending the War For Central Iberia. After the war, Warsawia would go on to annex all of Toledo. This massive defeat of a rival would serve as a catalyst to negotiations for both nations as neither believed that they would now be pushed back from Iberia.

Growing border friction between Warsawia and White Bosnia
As the two nations of Warsawia and White Bosnia grew, neither knew where the limits of their expansion should be. Early on in expansion Al-Andalus served as an ever-present threat that would deter any negotiations, now without them in the picture, terms had to be set.

Neither nation was confident in what land they owned and disputes over recent annexations and invasions were common, to solve this the two nations decided that they will get together a conference and divide the Iberian peninsula between them. This is a stark difference from older relations by which the two nations would've most likely rejected all forms of limitations on their growth which goes to show the increase in civility and humility both nations experience in their growth.
