=== Red Crisis ===
In 1929,
▲In 1929, a government headed by Aurelio Marzo Cadrega, an anti-socialist, took office amidst a severe crisis in the kingdom. The crisis was rooted in a stark disparity in the distribution of wealth and power, with wealthy industrialists and landowners holding substantial economic and political sway, while the working class and rural population lacked representation in government.
Leone Ausilio, a nationalist politician, capitalized on the opportunity and formed paramilitary groups known as Hares squads to suppress left-wing political organizations and trade unions through violent means
▲The mounting demands for reforms and greater social and economic equality fueled strikes, protests, and demonstrations, to which the government responded with force, exacerbating the situation. The government's handling of the crisis exposed deep divisions within the political establishment, with some factions supporting the working class and advocating for reforms, while others backed the interests of the wealthy elites.
Ausilio portrayed himself as a protector of order and bourgeois society, and his squads carried out brutal attacks on left-wing newspapers, socialist parties, and labor activists. As violence escalated, the government made significant concessions to the workers to restore order, such as enacting laws to reduce working hours and establishing new agencies to monitor worker safety and protect economic conditions.▼

On June 16, 1944,
These protests
Amidst this turmoil, leaders from various political and social groups united to form the National Resistance Movement, which aimed to overthrow the Unionist dictatorship and establish a democratic government. The movement was a beacon of hope for the people, who had long suffered under the oppressive regime.
As the Cartegine Revolution gained momentum, the pro-Unionist forces began to crumble, and the revolutionaries took control of many key cities and infrastructure. The Unionist Party was quickly losing its grip on power. The conflict continued for several months, with both sides suffering heavy casualties.

=== Federal Republic ===
Following the end of the civil war in September 1944, a provisional government was established, and the people were called upon to vote on whether to abolish the monarchy or establish a republic. The vote was held in October of that year, and the majority of the people chose to establish a republic. From March 1945 to December 1947, a Constituent Assembly was established to draft the new Constitution of Phoenixia. This constitution was officially implemented on January 1st, 1948, exactly 100 years after the enactment of the Kingdom of Arafors Constitution, the Theodor Statute.
In the aftermath of the referendum, the royal family was prohibited from returning to the country. This decision was made to ensure that the new republic could move forward without any interference from the monarchy. Furthermore, all of their assets, including the Phoxia Royal Palace, were seized.
A provisional government was created, which was tasked with drafting a series of reforms to reorganize the state and implement the constitution.
